Luke's Labs - Design

[Forge]

Im currently opening a website for me to play around with publishing my designs and services etc.

Its still being worked on but i think its going to be one of my best designs yet.

Thanks

It's a bit boring... add some effects and it would be bound to look better. :)

[today]

Its slow loading :s / white bit on nav too.

[Forge]

Thats the host. Its just there until i finish the layout and purchase the domain. I already have Cpanel hosting :)

And the white bit is the selected item. :P

It is indeed slow.

My comment on the design has to be 'its in your face'. Its a little on the large size and is a little boring.

Thanks. I like getting critisism like this as it helps me with my next work.

I hate getting people saying "eww thats orrible" :P

[--ss--]

Wow it took a extremely long time too load, Doesn't look too bad, change the green for the a hover on the nav ;)
Also you seem to be missing alot of coding from your source lol?

Yeah i coded it into PHP as ill be adding alot of features such as rotating images/content etc ;)

And change the green to what?

[<?PHP>]

Make it load faster......
And you spelt testimonials wrong

[Forge]

I knew i did :P i went through like ten attempts but they all looked wrong :P

And how do you expect me to make it load faster when it isnt me thats making it slow? :P

[<?PHP>]

I dunno xD... Change hosts?

[Forge]

Read my previous posts ;)

[<?PHP>]

transfer it now :P

17.83s to load on 4mb broadband.

Zymic - wth is going on!

Lol anyway back to the layout its like 2 bands of colour. A title that looks like it was made in 2 seconds and the navigation is yuk.

Im not sure why the main content text is an image - it looks blurred.

Good luck improving.

Thanks,
Jake.

If this is your best design yet then I'm sorry but maybe this just isn't your thing. Your design is very boring definitely needs either some elaborate features, a different colour scheme or just to start again.
If you wish to pursue this work then you must scrap this idea and come straight back with something elaborate and unusual that will wow everyone. Right now it's not looking good
