Hi, I run a small web design company aimed at small businesses and I just redid my site. What do you think: www.surethingweb.com

Youve got quite a few css errors on all of your pages.

To start with i didnt notice the navigation, didnt seem that obvious to me.

You also might want to change the colours on the gallery page, the linked words at the top im referring to, and the next/previous buttons.

I think the design looks good though, nice and clean.

navigation is too difficult: vertical text is no good for that sort of thing

 

you need good alt text on your images

 

increasing text size by one increment makes it disappear out the bottom

 

favicon

 

fully justified text hardly ever works well on the web, stick with left-aligned

 

couple of your images are jpegs that should be gif/8-bit png

 

i'm not sure that prospective clients know what an "interoperable, standards based website" is

 

Reimagined really should be hyphenated, if for nothing more than clarity.

 

overall, even though it's very simple it's attractive and feels nice. good job

I may be being a bit ???? but are you using a free host?

 

Also who is Small_Business_Websites.

 

Is the “e” in sure supposed to be spaced differently?

 

Personally I don’t think it brings confidence to prospective businesses/clients. (even though the price being charged does reflect that) Sorry to sound harsh.

@torrix I am not using a free host, the domain is mine, as my company is called SureThing Media & Webs Co. As for the CSS errors cited by others, the user experience doesn't seem to be damaged by them, right?

I never said the domain wasn't yours I was just wondering about where you host it? And who is Small_Business_Websites were.

 

Don’t know how to take the “the user experience doesn't seem to be damaged by them, right?” comment from a designer/developer??????

"Small Business Websites" is me, thats my tagline--"Small Business Websites: Reimagined" I pay $60 a year for the hosting from Powweb. Also, I am a NOOB designer and developer and don't want to hunt through my CSS to find said errors.

css errors

it actually tells you which line the error is on, so not much searching required. And being a "Noob" is more the reason to go though attempting to fix these.

thanks, I'll look into that. I've been doing design & typography for quite some time but I'm new to coding and frankly have a deep irrational fear of it

typo: top-the-line

should be

 

top-of-the-line

I think personally that the site is too basic, it is very clean and easy to nagivate but it looks to simple, doesnt give much information
