Hello everyone I finally finished my home page for my website and I need some reviews. Please review my site which is only the home page for now. Let me know what I can change or improve. This thread will help me decide if I should to keep this design.

very nice Andrew, things i would change though.
1: The email URL should be related to the domain rather than a yahoo or hotmail address. Its more professional.
2. for your bottom nav's instead of using that blue as a roll over. Add a 1px border so it looks like a link. At the moment people may think its not a link because of the subtle blue.
3. It needs a little more color. Maybe this will appear once you have uploaded the pictures into the slideshow.
4. Even though I know its your site. I suggest creating 1 sub page with Lipsum text on. Most websites out there dont have 1 template for the whole site. They have 2 or 3 or more depending on the size. It doesnt have to be anything over complicated. But thinkgs like removing the slideshow wrapper and replacing it with a content container.. that kinda thing. It will be more impressive to future clients too. Also remember to link all of your index.html links to the sub page and vice versa.

Other than that man. Good work. look forward to the revisions.

1) I'm going to do that soon. I wanted to first finish the site then do it.
2) Do you mean underline the link onhover? Like "text-decoration: underline"?
3) Were do you suggest I add the color?
4) What do you mean by Lipsum text?

[MYIWDesigns]

Sorry but I don't get the point. Or what your talking about.......

Lipsum text is generic text. Its so you can show your client where text will be placed in the document. Its Latin text in reality but it looks pretty. Better than putting "here is where you put this content etc" in the document.

No i mean border-bottom if you add Border-bottom instead of Underline you can style the border line, its more effective. Ive got it on my hover nav on the FRixeL site if you take a look.

Add some colorful pictures into your slideshow area, maybe thats what will bring the color out maybe?
