Now that I have completed my website I am now seeking feedback to better it, and better understand the aesthetics when creating a successful website. I can already see a few major faults within the site, this feedback will likely pickup on these.
Ashley Churchill: This website is pretty cool. it looks very stylish and the button design(s) is a great idea. My only concerns though are the fact that the menu is still accessible when browsing in the sub-menus (e.g. you can click on the main menu buttons from the bottom of the downloads menu, as well as between selecting images if you're quick enough!) besides that, it's a great website.
Straight away Ashley has picked up on one of my major faults, time for some major revision on the site. Very useful feedback :)
Tom Taylor: The layers need to be sorted out but other than that it is very professional. I like the way that all the pages come up, and the transitions.
Louis Reed: No major faults noticeable apart from the one already mentioned, a slight bug with the image gallery, but the overall aspect of the website feels slick and robust. The masked homepage runs smoothly and appeals to the eye.
My feelings about the seriousness of these faults have been reaffirmed, I will no go off and attempt to fix these problems, many thanks to those of you offering feedback.
