its ok i guess...its refreshing not to have someone with another template asking for ppl think.

The the light blue grey and the faded mauve work well together but the lime green behind the nav is very out of place. Also the fluros behind the numbers on the gallery page are bad too. The title is pretty bland and the pixel font is a little out of place. Same goes for the nav. It's also being lost in the purple roboty skeleton dude. The log number or whatever it is below the entry title makes everything look squashy. Also on the contact page, the field fonts are pretty small.

For the gallery, I'm not sure if I like the thumbnail, to 400x300, to full size action - especially when the intermediate size is just a section of the full size rather than a scaled down version. Seems to be too many clicks.

good luck with it though

Used to be his avatar, I think...

I like the site well enough. I'm not in love with it. The green buttons definitely have to change.

hey cheers for the comments and advice guys, i agree about the color scheme and nav being a bit off and im working on version 2 as we speak so ill post again when that is ready. also im thinking of adding more features and shuffling around the pages a bit so the info is mo spaced out and nicer to look at.

illvibe im glad u commented on the gallery usability as this is something i want ppl to be able to intuitivly pick up and use so ill get on to changin it round a little , i hav a few ideas in mind, mebbe have list of thumbnails instead of numbers and present it in a bigger window, not sure, ill hav a think
