comments about site

Hi here is my new site that I designed. Any comments about its design or anything else?
Thanks

The site

I like the idea of the metal sheen rollovers. Everything else is pretty nice... clean, simple layout. I'd like to see it with content.

Nice layout. The buttons are cool, but you may be able to take out the horizontal rules under each button. I like how the site looks now, but it may look better with a simple footer: ending the black bg at the bottom, allowing the gray to show again and typing some copyright information and/or the navigation typed again, horizontally. I find the navigation at the bottom especially helpful on longer pages, to avoid scrolling back up to the top (lazy enough for ya?)

nice and simple! i like the buttons, looks good to me. but i think it's not good idea when you come with the black background.

[oranhir]

Thanks for all your comments. iphong, what background do you think will look better?
Any other suggestions/comments from anybody?

[iphong]

i think, light blue should be ok(which same to your banner color instead but lighter) or you can use white are good too. As splufdaddy said, you should remove the horizontal rule under each button.

he he, with big banner, you can divise it to smaller peaces and join it inyour site.with visitor using 56k connection will be waiting for while to load your banner. you can read this thread "100 do and dont do in making website" to know more what you should do, if you already read please ignore.

If I change the background to light blue you think I should leave the buttons in the menu in blue?

[iphong]

Yes, but if possible you should make a really dark blue or black stroke around the button.

[iphong]

The easiest way to make stroke is you put each one of your button in a table with black background color and 1 pixel cellspacing.
