Looks Good!

Looking good, ld make those red dashed borders a bit thinner though, maybe 2 or 3 I think rather than 4 pixels is it now?

[MarkB]

I can see what you mean, but I like the thicker lines in this design :)

Thanks for the comments :cool:

[r2d2]

Ok cool :)

[Mike]

I like it.

Two suggestions I do have is one making it a little wider, and two perhaps doing what r2d2 said.

BTW, I will contact you on Monday regarding the advertising. I will be able to tell you how it's done over the weekend then.

[MarkB]

Nice one! :)

That's quite nice MarkB. Do you have an online gallery of London picts?

[MattM]

Yes, looks good Mark.

[MarkB]

GCT13 - that photo is, alas, not by me. It was one from a free stock library.

I do, however, plan to start my own collection of London photos once I get time to go out and take some ;)

The design is very strong (good). Maybe have it cover most or the whole page. The narrow layout does not do it justice.

The dotted red outlines are overpowering your text, though.
The 'mb' in the logo looks crowded.

The photo is nice. I like the angle at which it was shot, too.

The 'MarkBridgeman' up top is strong and memorable.

Very impressive.

Oh, and if you ever get bored or restless, you can come and redesign mine.:D

[MarkB]

Thanks for the continued feedback, guys. I've made some changes :)

shim - I'm always willing to design a site for someone in exchange for a permanent (for the life of the design) footer link :) (Depending on the site, of course - nothing worse than designing a boring site;))

I would make "london based web design" text in the london image smaller. It is to close to the edges.

Just my opinon.

Hey, get on MSN Michael...

Hi Mark , I think your website shows good and bad points as a fellow webdesigner I find it hard to look at your website as a normal everybody potential customer but from my personal taste I would say the colors are very grabbing however it all looks abit squashed, at the moment it is a good design if you could pad out the whole thing and make it look less squashed it would be excellent....

[MarkB]

What do you mean by 'squashed'? Is the photo too large for your tastes? Or the text too small? :)

[mike639]

both ,if the text was bigger and the image smaller it would make a big improvement.
