Ok so i’v finally got around to making a new site. [http://www.ngdlondon.com](http://www.ngdlondon.com) What do you think? Took me like 2 days to make, personally I really like it, the best site i’v made to date. Eleven2 - what an awesome host, I signed up and my account was active the same day!! Even when I bought a domain with it! Oh and thanks to ya3 for the cool glass image :thumb: ---

Is it just here in my end of the universe the slide bar moves a pixel to the left when activated and dragged ? I think you should put just a few pictures in amongst all the text. Just a thought. Except from that… Nice work ! ---

i think it’s nice. :crazy: your portfolio doesn’t have links to any work, just text descriptions. are they made up? issue: when you click HELP it opens up a pop up window. the first problem you address in your help section is “Nothing happens when I click enter.” - then you explain that it’s a pop up window. the problem is that your HELPO section is also in a pop up window. so if a user is having a problem with the ENTER button not popping up the window, they are going to have the same problem when trying to open the HELP pop up. no? ---

I didn’t put links becuase they arn’t online anymore.

Yeah what i’m gonna do is put up a full-sized image of the site, so that people can pretty much see what the whole site looked like. ---

The site is pretty nice visually, but there isn’t much to interact with once one is on the content pages (email address can’t be selected/clicked on, etc.). The green glass image reminds me of the Bacardi Mojito site: > **[Bacardi Rum - Untameable Since 1862 – Bacardi US](https://www3.bacardi.com/us/en/)** > > Read all about the Bacardí family, its heritage, rum cocktails and drinks. Discover why True Passion Can’t Be Tamed. Bacardí US – Untameable Since 1862. ---

Just wanted to make 2 quick suggestions about the copy on the site. In my opinion it might be an idea to remove the welcome message altogether and replace it with the “About” section, because the first sentence doesn’t really sit well with me. The first thing I thought when I read it was “I’ll try and fit you in between lectures” rather than “I’m eager to work so give me money to make your stuff look good”. Also, on the “About” section, I wanted to suggest more or less swapping the first two paragraphs so it reads more like: “I’m Noah…I’m 19…I have years of experience…I use Photoshop, Flash, etc.” “I live in London…go to uni…study blah blah blah” “My full profile…” I thought it would be best make sure your most important assets are first and foremost on that section, as it’s the only paragraph you can read in its entirety without scrolling. Hope that helps :hugegrin: ---

Yeah good points, i’v made the following changes: - Made the e-mail address clickable in the contact section. - Changed order of paragraphs in about section. - Re-wrote welcome section. - Changed help section (no longer a pop-up). - Added legal section. ---

I think the site looks really good. Nice and clean, and great color. The fx you used are nice too…but I think theyd look a lot better if you removed some frames and made it punchier–they all seem to be waiting thier turn to much (the ones when its first getting put together). Not sure if the rollovers are intentionally slower on fades in/out–but thats something again I think would look a lot better a bit faster. But anyways, yea other then the speed of the fx I think it looks great. ---

alternatively in the contact section is spelled wrong
