Hello All,

I am looking for some general feedback on my site http://www.gkdevelopments.co.uk.

Please rip it to shreds.

Cheers

ok so this may be a bit harsh but i think the frontpage is a bit dull, your a development company and your front page that is supposed to grab attention is grey box with a bit of text, if you look at templates available for free on the net for this sort of company the front page is all bright and enticing - look what we can do kid of page, if i wanted a web site designed (and i used to work for a webdesign company, allbeit in a different department but i've heard plenty of feedback from clients) and if a grey box the first thing I saw i would not expect the company to make me a grab the client and make some money kind of website.

sorry if thats a bit harsh, im just finishing off my site so you can get me back later

All feedback is valid, i respect you view and from looking at it i would agree but i only had 2 hours to do this.

Do you know of any good template sites?

Your site is very good by the way or though it takes a lil while to load and a footer image has not been uploaded.

Cheers
Gareth

ah theres millions first entry in google http://www.freewebtemplates.com/

Theyre good for ideas, and theyre only like 20 dollars to buy and just plug stuff in. I've personally never done it but I think they suit your kind of site, or something webhosting etc. For 2 hours its pretty good, Id just have some broken mush in 2 hours!

That img at the bottom of mine is JS stats thing and should dissapear in a split second? On mine it doesnt show up at all in IE and dissapears in mozilla, does it stick around on your? Ill have to hide it if thats the case. How slow is it? Again its loaded in about a second from non cached on mine, are you on bb? Ah ill run it through one of those weigh the page things on the net.

Cheers for the feedback, wish more people contributed on here

It is not actually that slow at home it must have been our work connection being a bit slow. I love that into image all the colour in that is beautiful.

The image at the bottom of your site stays with a red X in the middle like it has not loaded it corectly.

I am a software developer and am quite new to "WEB" i think i will look alot at the templates. Do you know if they are just HTML templates?

ah thats weird, I'll make it a white dot or something.

um they usually supply the templates in html, psd and flash i think. If your new to it designing in photoshop first before turning it in to html is always easiest
