Web Project Review

Hello,

Suggestions, comments and criticisms required for a new project.

However, let me state before hand that while I appreciate your feedback or criticisms I must not agree with them so do not start any insult as insults will be responded to in kind as they come.

The website address is www.ijann.com

Content is not up to date but I believe the structure and features implemented are working ok, may be wrong with this.

The contact us page on the website allows anyone to post feedback be it suggestion, question or bug so feel free to use it if you don't want to post anything here.

Many thanks for your time.

NB: Web project may be sold to anyone or group of people that will have the time to manage the website as I doubt if I can handle that.

@Afam, this day and age, you still design so poorly,  GEEZZ!!! 

@Afam

I like you, but am worried about this thing you have posted, having had a quick look, I noticed alot of 3rd party css and js on this site, the plus side, the structure and layout is neat and clean.

Downside is that it looks too generic, just like some other sites, which i think you have been involved in like justalternativepower.com and justwebservices.com

It would be nice if you can have something new and fresh, just my views to be honest.

@Afam
Fair point, I used to be like that, and say to my clients its all about the functionality, but the sad thing is your clients have no idea about what function is, so they just look at the design. I am not a designer myself and I used to do so, but now I realised that its not the way for me so I work with a designer now.

Its very hard to be a developer and a designer at the same time, as your views are strongly based on functionality than the look and feel of the website.

This is the sad thing as that's all users see, I built a site once that is really full of functionality, but the first thing i was told is that it lacked creativity, and that kind of hurts if you know what I mean. There is nothing wrong with using web templates as long as you can tweak around and make it look unique to you, I noticed on this forum, people are quick to jump at you when you use a template, how ever, they don't think about the cost effectiveness of that.

My advice again to you is for you to concentrate on what you are good at, and if its the case pay someone to deal with the design for you, yeah its taken out of your pocket, but at the long run it will benefit you because it will let you get more clients, keep doing what you are doing mate, and don't let the foul mouthed people make you think any less.  Well done.
