Got my new [color:red]site</font color=red> up, and now it's tweak-time. The new domain (eleven22.biz) hasn't yet propogated to NameSecure's servers, so till the end of the week, I'm still at sgcreativ.com. <br><br>For some reason, some of the color profiles shifted to red, so I need to fix that, and the front page animation needs to be smoothed out. Some pages will be replaced with other content. <br><br>In the meantime, any comments or suggestions (be gentle with me — I'm no web designer — will be appreciated). <br><br>

It looks great to me but I am also no web designer or any designer for that matter. Anyway good luck with your new venture.<br><br>"...

First impressions:<br>Why the Enter page? That's just an extra click to get to the Home page.<br>Point of View and Clients page. Your text image appears of my screen as about a size 9 font. These old eyes can't hardly read it. "Once you know what to say, say it with clarity". Follow your own advice, fella! Clarity is a visual concept too, right? <br>I won't comment on the pictures (I did look at them) and movies (didn't)...I'm on a dial-up and suspect your target audience has those cushy connections. Overall, the site looked pretty clean. That's high praise from me.<br><br>Gentle enough?<br><br>drjohn<br><br>

Ultimately, the "enter" page will have a little more going on — possible a light-handed Flash intro (with a by-pass option) that will take you automatically to the home page. Good guess on the point size on the text pages — it is 9 pt. (them old eyes can't be that bad, bub ). I have to do a little more editing so I can come up a point or so without creating a "wall of type".<br><br>Good comments. Thanks. <br><br>

I like the general layout, but agree that the font size is a little challenging for us sight-challenged folks. Your work will sell itself!<br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

I'm sensing a theme here...<br><br>MAKE THE FRIGGIN' TYPE BIGGER FER CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!!<br><br>I'm so used to Quark displaying type a tad smaller than it prints, that I automatically scale down a bit to compensate. The same is not true with Photoshop. <br><br>Also, this is NYC, where even type is more expensive per pound — and I am on a budget, you know... <br><br>

The MTA and the union reached a tentative agreement a few hours ago. It still has to be approved by both boards, but both parties are confident that it's got legs. *whew*<br><br>So come on down! <br><br>
