Hey guys, I'm not a professional web designer but I've taught my way around php/css/html this summer so I accepted a project for a family contact. I would like your opinion on it: http://rlcorpsolutions.com The top banner was not my choice, I can't change it, and the logo is a temporary placeholder while we wait for the artist to finish his work on it. The client is happy with it but I'm more interested in the opinion of professionals. Suggestions for improvement? Thanks, Alex

Thank you very much for your help @NickC4555. I fixed everything you mentioned apart from the responsiveness and the banner. I can't change the banner and I will work on the responsiveness when I get to that chapter in my book. Site also works very well with JS disabled now (who are those weirdos? about 0.5% of viewers in UK... so much annoyance for one in two hundred viewers!) In the mean time the site is now live so if anyone else wants to take a look it's here: rlcoaching.com Cheers,

@@NickC4555 Thank you very much for those comments! I'm about to start working on some of the points you made. I don't understand what this means though: Also, can't do much about the banner at this point. The coach has fallen in love with it which kind of forced me to work the other colours of the page around that. Going to fix all the other points you mentioned though. Thanks again! ( Since you were silent about I don't know if I dare ask: What did you think about the aesthetic look? )

Haha yeah I know! That's why the site is not live yet! I'm in the process of fixing that, the images and the display on mobile devices. I was really more after comments on the visual look! (on desktops atm!)

I like the layout and the choice of colours. I think it's a very good job! I'm not a big fan of the fonts you chose though, I believe that's perhaps the only point that could use some work. Also the English text has several mistakes in it. You should have it corrected by a native english speaker.

I have made some changes to the website taking the above comments into account. Also crunched through a CSS book last week and hope I learned a few things. Can you guys please check this one out and tell me what you think? http://rlcoaching.com/newrl/ I would love some constructive comments!!! NOTE: The images are bad, I'm in the process of reworking them.

Hey Weller, I'm really a newcomer to web design so take my comments with a grain of salt. I find your site a bit too simplistic. Some areas look too "empty". Also don't take this one with a grain of salt: That "Lato" font @ font-weight 200 looks atrocious on Chrome (at least on Mac OS)!! Half of your potential customers will see that!!

Thanks for the suggestion, I think you're right about the splash screen, I'm either going to simplify it and make it much shorter or take it off altogether. As for the phone I know it's terrible on mobile devices, I'm still very new to this and didn't realise things would be so different on them. For this site I'm in the process of making a trim downed mobile version. If you get a change to try it on a PC I would love some feedback

For some very weird reason the page sometimes appears completely blank when I click on the link on this forum! Never happens when I type in the URL directly and apparently hasn't happened to anyone I sent the link to by email! Is anyone else getting this? If you do I can make it work by refreshing or copy-pasting url in new tab. I would really love some comments guys starting to wonder if I don't want to push myself into web design, really enjoying it.

Plain, classe and simple. I like the last one. Too many sections though in general, most people won't bother clicking on all of those. But then it doesn't look like that's your target audience anyway. I do think the navigation looks too empty though, take some height off the top box or slightly bigger links and more spread out. My 2 cents... And replace Ben Franklin by Thomas J

This is my third website, made for some family friends restaurant Al Baraka (temporary URL) The animation doesn't work completely on Safari and the site just breaks down on iPhone (haven't tried other mobile devices). I'm in the process of fixing these. Works as intended on Firefox and Chrome. I'm doing this for free as a favour but out of curiosity, could any professionals give me an estimation of what such a site would be worth on the market? Thanks for your time!

Thanks for your comments guys! I have to agree about the gradient I personally don't like it. It was her decision and she liked it so had to stick with it!

I made this website for a family contact who is a professional life coach. You can find it here. I would like some constructive criticism before I try to make it appear on Google's index.

Hey guys, I'm an Ethical Hacking student and as part of one modules we had to learn some basic HTML/CSS/JS/PHP (to better find your flaws Anyway, I enjoyed developing little web pages so I decided I would work on my own news aggregate for the nerdy tech stuff I like. You can find it here (temporary domain). I would say I'm about 95% done. I still need to add things like the arrows for up/down votes (and of course I'm sure some of you will recognize that "logo", it's NOT by me and is only a temporary placeholder, so far this URL hasn't been posted anywhere but here and shouldn't be indexed by any search engines!). But the closer I get towards finishing it the more I am hesitating on the design. When I asked my girlfriend what she thought of it she awkwardly paused and then said it looked "fun...", which wasn't really what I was going for! I'm looking for constructive criticism on the design! EDIT: Feel free to create an account and test the (still very basic) comment feature. All comments and accounts will be deleted before the site goes live anyway.

My website (temporarily here if you're curious, W.I.P.) uses AJAX to navigate between pages. I'm not an experienced web developer and I'm now wondering if using AJAX to navigate around the site was a good call. Personally, I like the idea of avoiding full page reloads every time I click a link. However when I look around the net it seems to me most websites don't use this sort of navigation. I tried Google to find an answer but so many of the answers are dated a few years back that I don't know if they're still relevant. I've heard it's bad for SEO. Is this really the case? Even if each page can have a unique URI and you're pushing the new URI into the history each time? Even if each page features tags and links to other articles (for the spiders to crawl?) Are there other reasons to avoid it? What are the pros and cons of using AJAX for navigating on a site like I've done in the site above?
