hey ya ppl of the board..

i just recently got in2 design and i just did work for a "client" .. thinkin about going freelancing even though i havnt studied design or anything.. jus messing with photoshop... u knw, reading magazines and stuff.. so this is wgat i made..

iwfsa.co.za


i know the color is a bit fkd... i've been looking at it.. really..
also my codes dnt work cos im not even a coder..

so wat else is wrong wit it.. cos i knw there is...

English, please. This isn't AIM.

It's OK. Not a bad first effort. The glossy buttons are ugly - you should redo them.

If you aren't willing to learn HTML/CSS then you shouldn't be building websites. It's irresponsible to professionally offer services when you don't know what you're doing. End of story.

i am planning on studing.. thats y i did it in the 1st place.. the people were quite happy wit it.. i do think the buttons looked strange..

thanks bra..

Haha, pgo's a piece of ladies underwear.

are you really a bra pgo?

Ok well the design is very dated, i dont like any of the graphical elements. The buttons are awful. Why do you need to display statistics on the website?

[the guy]

Liam, i dont know what i was doing there.. lol! so really i need 2 redo everything cos it really sux??

Well if your new to webdesign and its your first website then its an ok start but if you want to make it in the industry you need to design sites that are much better.

yo yo da dsgn aint bd bt cld use sm wrk

seriously, my suggestions

1) content area needs to be framed in, the disappering left column is distraction, then the footer pos in again

2) you need a better 'homepage' it should 'highlight' the group and its objectives - the content there is way to long. That should be a seperate page

3)not into that retro 80's mauve color for the BG, but, if they're stuck on it, oh well...

4) the page headers don't seem to match the look and feel of the other site graphics

5) branding. This just doesn't feel very 'south africa' to me. One real challenge of web design is creating a branding identity for an organization/business when one doesn't exsist already. Even if there is one, often it is outdated or was done for print, and sometimes doesn't look good on the net

6) I doubt there are any business requirements for having site stats on the website. Lose it.

7) look at ways to refine/consolidate the IA. For instance, first level nav 'advertisements' doesn't make sense - that could under 'links'
