Starting A Successful Business

Your Welcome Maddog!

I personally like the colors you have as well! like RDarko said, keeping it colorful catches the eyes, thats why I chose orange for my site. I notice all the new comers of internet design are throwing flashy colors on the screen to get peoples attention.

You also have tons of moving things to catch attention as well, you can't help but look at your site! its quite an accomplishment!

But if you were to change it, don't lose the colors or the scrolling! I think thats what makes your site unique!

Let us know if you change your site! we all will want to see it!

Personally my concept of a layout is opposite. Busy colors means a less professional website. A clean slate image will make your website look more professional. You can add some graphics/themes to catch the eyes, but don't over do it. Having too much stuff on a page can make it hard to focus on a given thing and also make it hard to find what your looking for.

Well Said Seven. But....

What you say is true of certain professionalism but its all in what you like. I have seen plain sites do wonderful for their text content and "color busy" sites do well for their design. I think just because Maddog chose to use a brighter palette of colors doesn't mean his site is not professional. Its all in how you want to present your website to the audience. But to all his/her own. What works for one, may not work for another. I guess maybe you should give Maddog ideas on how to make his site more professional.

Its all about target audience.

If you want a website solely for business purposes then you simplify it.
My website is for the glam market, thats why I chose the colours I did. I won't make it as colourful as maddogs and neither will I keep it too simple because my target audience is different. I'm a more simple girl myself so I agree with you Steven 99%, but when you're targeting a younger audience, perhaps its better to experiment a little (with colours!!!) not too many pictures and graphics though...true I think it can make your web a little unprofessional and messy!

so what your all saying is 50/50 lol...love this when we all get in a good discussion, this is what beginners like me need, differant ideas/thinking form you all.

Thank you all....think at the moment I will leave the site as is.

However anyone has ideas let me know, they are most welcome

Very Well Said RDarko

Good Point. I certainly agree, Its all in targeting your audience. If you think lots of colors will do it, hey, go for it...

I like designing, so my sites are a bit of a cross between simplicity and graphic hungry. - But I truly feel simplicity is my preferred choice with webdesign as well. Its definately much more easier for me.

OH, How's the new website coming along Rdarko? any progress?

Hi,
