Comments we have recieved ‘Good and Bad’!
Over the past 2 weeks we have had a crazy amount of comments good and bad and to be honest we are really happy for all of them. We were so delighted that we felt we should post a few here for everyone to view. We would like some feedback from you too so read over the following quotes and let us know if you agree or disgree.
The splash page is bad for SEO, and is one more step between your content and the user. I hear your reasons but it’s not enough to warrant the page, get rid of it. If it is important use code to detect the browser and then redirect the user if they will not be able to use the site.
I think the funky fresh comment was just reflecting on the humor of the statement since it is funny in an early 90s flashback kind a way.
I think your copy needs to be reworked. There are some small grammatical issues and the whole third person thing (constantly referring to pixel criminals as an outside party) becomes tiresome and a little strained quickly. You are = you’re not your
Regardless, the site is very attractive.
Good Job
funky-fresh just doesn’t say good communicator. It says kids playing at being professionals or old guy (I’m old I know) trying to be hip (I am not hip at all).
I liked the layout and the art. I agree about the design needing to be more consistent across all the pages. I liked the blog content and enjoyed reading it.
I did not notice the load times the others mentioned.
You should take the style of the splash page and make all the other pages follow that.
EDIT:
I take it back, I visited the site again and yeah the load times are noticeable.
I don’t mind splash pages. I don’t know why everyone complains about them. You have awesome work and your website is dope.
I don’t like splash pages. I don’t want to go to your site and be greeted with a “gate keeper”. It is one more step to getting to the content. It takes away from the flow of the site. There is no reason for me it. I find them annoying and often won’t navigate any further into a site. I especially have sites that are created with an elitist attitude and insult my choice of browser and tell me that in order to see what services they offer, I have to change the software on my computer. I don’t think so.
Your site looks and feels like a blog. It does not feel like a portfolio. I feel like I am dealing with an amateur. The site clearly was not made by an amateur, but the blog feeling it has takes away from what is otherwise advanced programming and design. I feel it cheapens you.
The news/blog link. Make up your mind. Is it a blog link or a news link? If you need both, make two buttons.
I don’t like sites that open pages in a new window unless they are printer-friendly pages or direct me to a different site for a particular reason.
These are just my opinions. Other than these issues, I think your site is great. You obviously have well developed programming and design skills.
Hi Paul
I love the striking first impression of your site. The graphics are great. It’s a shame the portfolio part only shows small version of your work within you client’s websites - I want to see your designs in all their glory - have you considered including a personal gallery where people can see full size artwork?
great site its lovely! like the contact info on the first page i hate having to search for someone’s email, i would say it would be nice to click on the image to zoom in a bit but it would mean the site slowing down like you saids. Really nice!
That is a few to say the least and I think they all make some critical comments and points. I havn’t really focused too much on the ones of praise but more towards the ones that really crit something. Hope you enjoyed reading them and please let me know what you think. Paul
