So the school I attend had a very out dated website and to be honest it was kinda lame. So, seeing how I do web design for a living, I decided to give it an overhaul.

I like it, the dragon logo with the slide show is very cool, but…

The home link does not work  
And when you click on either of the videos it sends you back to the home page

I’m also not digging the black and white text; it doesn’t seem to fit graphically with the rest of the page.

You should put the actual physical address there too. And you might want to add an instructor bio page if you can get cooperation from the instructors.

I did one for my school back in the day, but yours put that to shame. 🆒

honest criticisim …

im with san … i really dig the top logo and the animation, but the stark white just throws everything off.

something darker … green … gray … even all black with a reasonably bright text would pull everything togeather much better.

if you have a gay friend just have him look at it for two seconds and he’ll tell you how to fix it.

Plus, I would put some spacers at the bottom of the pages to add some “white space.” It’s like reading a book with no page margins.

But it’s pretty sweet.

Great site!

Your two man set looks very similar to the one practiced by the monks.

That’s a one time offer. After that it’s $85 a month. Sorry.

Hey, thanks everyone for the input. You guys are a great bunch of beta testers.

I see what you all mean about the Black text on white. I work in the interactive department at the local newspaper so I think I’m geared towards black on white.

Thanks for the list of things to do.

1. Fix the links at the top.
2. Spell check.
3. Physical address.
4. Instructor bio

Not sure if I’ll change the black on white. Maybe I’ll try out some different color ideas.

Thanks again guys.

i think you could do the black on white if you had some kinda buffer between the top logo and the main text.

i wouldnt do nothin to the top though … that looks sweet.

A soft yellow (such as here) or a soft blue are actually clinically proven to be easier to read backgrounds for black (especially when used with Arial or Comic Sans) and are better for people with dyslexia.
