I think it looks nice. But I hate the big pop ups... they're a little much.

have to agree, it's a bit of a headfuck when you first look at it, the cheeky guy on the bradybuilt site just made me laugh.

I think one thing to work on is presentational skills and organisation, you need your user to know where to click, and more importantly where you want them to click.

I have tried to list a few things below to justify my comment, I hope you find them useful.

- the column of pics below the logo is a different width so it looks imbalanced.

- the second pic down in this col is a different width

- what is the red box for at the bottom? the curve on it makes it look a different width even if it is no

- you should have link to home page on the logo as most people understand this is way home.

- not liking the green and the purple

- the green of the links is probably the weakest colour on the board and the wrong choice for the nav.

I accept all appreciation and criticism for good and will certainly try to improve but i wasnt expecting any comments on my portfolio section....as that work was done long ago and i havent started marketing this website for the same reason. Probably i should revise my portfolio section before asking u guys to comment.

Get rid of the popups. Confusing if your mouse happens to creep over a thumbnail and you're not expecting it. Popups also screw with the page when the browser adds/removes scroll bars.

I just find it very confusing and overwhelming, your text and communication style seems very dry and corporate, and the imagery used does too, yet there's a rainbow explosion of colour that doesn't seem appropriate.

Feels like it hasn't decided who it's approaching. Would take stock, root through the web and look at competitor's sites, those being the people who have similar client base, and see what works well for them, and how to do what they're doing but well better of course

Take a look at a Mercedes-Benz and compare it to a Clio. Same four-stroke internal combustion engine right?!...

But even the Clio is made with attention to detail, and your website does not correspond to that, it just says "Put me on your shitlist".

Keep thinking about "what" rather than "why" thus you end up with a crappy website.
Blame Canada for all it`s worth!

P.S. I`m not sorry for being rude!
