[s]Hello,

Can I get a detailed analysis of these sites? I designed them but I would like the house to give a strong analysis on them, rating the color blend, graphics, animation, functionality, et cetera:

- www.manifoldventures.com
- www.manifoldventures.com/peopletemp
- www.lumenave.com[/s]

Man are you going to pay for the review? Nothing comes free , and please for future reference, do ask nicely, because this is a favor we are doing, we aren't getting paid to do this Job.

Well here it goes.

I must say it looks professional. But then, there are little things that would have made it standout properly.

First of all your middle content. The style and the way the content are displayed, it looks to plain, I would recommend you contain it, and properly align the middle content.

The sidebar, should have a colored border for the content. Maybe of the same colour with the head.

Then the colour, of the side menus, as in your link style , should be of the same colour with the colour of the headers, green i suppose. The <li> tags should have a colour that blends with the green used in the header preferably plain black or a darker colour of you text.

Send Quick feed back would look better if it is at the main content area, as part of the content of the site, rather than the side. Also the same thing applies with the EBN stock market area on the right, there should be maybe a rotation of the stock , not too wide. then based on the latest update someone can click and it goes to the main content of the stock updates.

The style of "Call our Head Office:" why do use a different colour entirely from the feel of the main site? Just curious, I don't think it should be there too, and if it must be, please make a header bar, and make the colour blend with the other part of the sites.

One more thing why not align the whole entire site to the center?

I guess thats all i can see for now from that site.

First of all i would say you didn't slice the images properly, i guessed you used photoshop .

I think you should do the slicing, but do the HTML yourself, the valigns, divs etc yourself, don't use the automated one that image ready does for you. Because if you look at your flash, it doesn't come together with the main content, there is some slight misalignment when you look at it closely.

Besides your even business solution image, is not properly optimized, or you over expanded it, i really don't feel like checking your source, but i guess its either of the two.

Your drop down menu does not work in firefox , how come?

Your Menus with
Software Applications >>
Hardware Infastructure >>
Consultancy services >>
Other Products Services >>

Doesn't requires a table from a WYSIWYG, i think you should be playing more with simple notepads, creating your tables with no borders, and creating a top menu to describe what the links below is about. Something like a header similar to the first site. News and Events too, consider using a header, background or something different from the menu content. to differentiate it from the news.

Most of your links are dead, i guess still under construction. Well your designs are not bad.

Besides i began to think, it is not 100% original, it is a customized or tweaked template right?

You really need to work on your content colour and blending .

Good colour blending, content layout etc. But you should consider containing your content, with the main header. Everything looks scattered. They should come together as part of the site. And work on the side menu too.

The colored text part of the content, you should consider using the orange that you use of Welcome header.

Apart from that i think everything is OK.

Comment:

Now this is exactly what i am talking about, why is there no consistencies in your designs? are you doing it alone or a team.
This sites fullfill everything i said before except one.

The content part. You should consider using a image table with slanted edges, that can be achieved with photoshop.

and the spacing between the content container should be at least 5px. it is too close with the table. Apart from that everything is perfect. I would say a wow. Keep up with the good work.

I hope i wasn't too criticizing. You asked for it.

Information Technology is not my field .However, will contribute as a layman who is just  logging onto these sites.

Most of your website that are up for review look familiar in one way or the other, that is they do not have a feeling of originality.

Your sites should have a feel of originality and style that is uniquely yours and that is usually what makes you stand out from the rest in the world of web design

Hum? Only 1 of his designs is from a template?www.manifoldventures.com. The rest have 80% probability that they are his original work.

And besides there is nothing wrong with using templates as long as you can customized it to satisfy your client needs. And that is if you clients like it too . Standing out as a professional web designer, probably? But there is nothing like wrong or right. As long as you are good in whatever you choose to do.

yeah got and agreed to all your comments, kazey's right only the manifoldventures from a template others r original
Tanks anyway for your reviews, Hi kazey, watsup?

Nice job

hi weymola, sorry couldnt reply your post on time.. well asper helping out withyour designs.. no probs any time just buzz me

Great impressions upon first visit, all of 'em. I'd be getting back with something else though.

Well em...your sites are as professional as they come, but they've all got a familiar feel, except for this www.manifoldventures.com/peopletemp which looks so much like this http://www.mtn.co.za/?pid=8429 and I can't help but wonder.

Try getting your stuffs as original as possible. You're unarguably good at what you do, but originality is a great factor.

they are original and i liked all four sites .

Good Job Timmy.
