Round 2: Branching Out Designs - 4/6/2006 22:52:19
Thanks for all of your comments in the first round. I can understand the objections to my religious statements on my page, but I don't make any reference to being a better designer because of my religion. As was commented, the "branding" establishes my business in a niche market, which is what I'm aiming for at this point. If my focus changes in the future, the "branding" may leave the website and my business. I've made some changes to the site: added a contact form and organized the portfolio to start. Any other ideas? I tried to simplify some of the table code as well (now that I know a little more about what I'm doing). It's been about 2 years since I was taught html and dreamweaver, so I'm expanding on what little bit I can remember. Tear it apart. Thanks. Branching Out Designs

looking good! different to many sites :)
some of your larger images would be better saved as gifs (the ones without too many colours or gradients) like prayer seal, infinite skillz and the cd books that are cuurently saved as 32-bit pngs would reproduce nicely as gifs (the ones without photos on them)

Your PRICING page confuses me.
At the top you state that graphic designing is $75.00
Is that an hourly rate? Generally a designer of any kind wouldn't quote a fixed price like that without getting some specs from the client first. As it reads I could bring you the most intricate and detailed design spec and you MUST produce it for $75.00. Great deal.
Also based on the way that page reads I also get t-shirts, business cards, banners, graphics, and more, more, more. All for that same $75.00, as you advertise "what is offered", then "services offered" right after the pricie. What a great deal.
Maybe rearrange things a little to prevent somebody from being as ridiculous as I am in my interpretation?
Also, I have an intense dislike for the green/burnt red combo. But that's just me.

I like the site, but I'm not keen on the tables inside tables thing where it isn't necessary.
On the first page there is a table with a fixed width of 486 inside a cell of width 714 simply to display one paragraph of text. This is aligned left leaving whitespace across a third of that page.
It looked a little imbalanced to me.
I think you could still play around with the colour balance. Reddish-brown and green are suitable for the site, you just neeed to get the best balance of shades. Of course it will look different on different monitors
