LMK know what you think. I needed more room, so I decided to ditch the 800X600 crowd and go 850 on width. LMk if you see any issues! Thanks 😏

I like the spinning logo, though it maybe worth adding different coloured edges to the box when it spins just to make it a little clearer.

At first I didn’t notice the About Anivo, Client Login and Free proposal links above the clients menu. I’d make these a bit more prominent…not sure how though but like I said I didn’t notice them at first and was about to complain about the lack of them.

The first image you use in the main page looks like a train (probably subway) and it looks good, I like it. But then in about page it’s a blue abstract image with nothing much to do with the first one. They are both images that look good, it’s just they don’t go…I think the images used in a site should all have some sort of connection and I think it would be best to replace the about image cause I think the first one is the better image.

iStockPhoto has some of the best subway images I’ve seen and I think you’ll find one that might help in the [iStockphoto subway gallery](http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&galleryID=1699) by the way the images cost about 25 cents and they’re worth every penny 😉

Not sure it’s too professional to think “I’ll ditch the 800\*600 crowd”. I know there is less of them now but some people do stay at that resolution for other reasons like bad eye sight. I like the size of your site but would losing 50 pixels be a big loss.

I know this is a long reply but let me finish by saying I like your site. Good idea of having your services listed and highlight them whatever link is selected…haven’t seen that before. Site’s clear, easy to follow, looks professional, good colour scheme, I like it :thumb:

I agree with most of RabBell 🙂 Also why is it half flash and half html? I think it would be better all in flash, that way you can preload those images, because on my dial up it takes a while.

Good work though!

Hi

I took your advise, the size is down to 780X420, the about links are bolded, and I tried to tie the photos together by color and abstraction. It took some tricky flash slide menu to fit everything in. Thanks for your help!

Loads faster now, good job. Don’t know about the menu now, I think I prefered it before, maybe take 5 older jobs out and have the last link on the menu for ‘more work’ and put them in there, that way you can build up you menu and not get it scrolling everywhere, Neater I think.

Good work though. keep it up

I like the new about and client login images (They look great to be honest), the links above the menu stand out more and it’s faster, big improvement.

I prefer the menu this way and the site now fits into 800\*600…good work :thumb:
