Hi, after a couple months of work I’m getting closer to launching my new web development company site. i was wondering what you guys thought about it in terms of design and usability. Any feedback/suggestions are welcomed. There are still a few bugs but overall it’s css/xhtml valid. Thanks in advance for any comments. http://alvya.com

Hi statc   your site is really colorful but with stronger shades.Some   may dislike it .  Taste differs is it not ?I am not sure whether it is accessible friendly.Overall your efforts will be appreciated.

By using the stronger shades of colors I was attempting to offer some bold contrast to the grays and black of the site. Do you think I overdid it?

In my opinion the stronger shade is really cool.color contrast is also nice but some may dislike it ,that’s all.

I really like the color scheme. I don’t think you overdid it. Only the blue Comments and Discuss buttons are bothering me. They are too shiny and the blue background is just not working for me. :)
Overall I like your site.

I just redid the layout a little. What do you guys think now? I redid the comment buttons and alot of other things.

I liked the previous design more.
The font is too big and the orange is not the best choice for me. If you insist on keeping the different colored tabs on the bottom of the page I would suggest to get rid of the orange titles.
This is my humble opinion :)

I changed a few things about it. Removed the orange in some places and replaced the light blue with green. What do you think now?

It’s much better with green although I still find the font size too big for my taste.

Which font size? of the headlines, or the actual text?

Font size of text too big, background “harlequin”?? seems intrusive and amateurish, bold white text on black background for “CONTACT US” form visually apalling ( Try a muted pastel for the background instead. )

Dont call it “work” call it “Portfolio” if you dont have much, have the header say .. “3 recent examples” :D

overall, I like it, just a few hrs work needed.

Hello Statc,

I love the logo very much.

I just don’t find the color combination appealing. Too many colors I guess. I like the black and green combination but need to incorporate other colors that match them. I know user-friendliness matters in web design and it is good that you tried to ask opinions and suggestions.

Best of Luck for Your Site
