David.

I like it, its very simple clean and effective. These days people can get carried away with all the fluff that says pay attention to me.

Only thing that could be more comfortable is the gallery. Right now the procedure seems to be [click image, wait to load, close image, click image... close image, scroll gallery, click image...]

If you could change that so clicking the image loads the next one in line with a separate close button to leave this viewing mode, that'd be neat.

Other than that it's great and simple, i like it. Also nice detail that you have the location/contact basics in the footer. This is good practice for anyone working in the service sector.

Nice and clean. A "next" button on the images would be good.

As good as that Boss pedal is -- perhaps it shouldn't be there.

Maybe it's best to keep all the imagery related to arch.vis. If you were a large firm, ..would it be there? Although your small and not trying to hoodwink anyone into believing your a large firm -- these kinds of things tend to let on about your company size. I advise -- not. :lol:

Maybe just create a new category with 'other' type CG stuff.

I've said enough --- good luck. :oops:

nice and simple website.
it's informative as well as clearly arranged.

a few thoughts though: why have three different image sizes for each portfolio image? two would be sufficient! I really could miss the first "enlargement".

the page "about us" shows an image of a large office building (a rendering i suppose). this is very misleading since people might think, that this is your office building ;) and obviously your page doesn't fit to a large company.

Thank you for all your replies.

I am in agreement about the two stage enlargement issue. Might get that changed.

With the Boss Pedal. I think I might have a seperate gallery created for products. I am hoping to set myself a few product projects to bulk it out.

First, i like your logo setup, really a good idea, and well done!

For the bad critics, keep in mind that i say them knowing my own www is really poor

First, as others said, the viewing is not good, renders are way too small, and should directly open at a bigger size (so that you can put off the 2 links enlarge/close)
You should name them, it's easier for a customer that want a result like in the render "xxxxxx" for example
You shouldn't mix archviz and products renders
I wouldn't show the actually second render, i think you want to show the model and not necesseraly a nice render, but we actually don't see details because of the small picture size, so it becomes a bad render
In the 3th, i'll add reflections in windows, especially in black areas
In the 4th, i'll add grass or table wood on top of render, the scene floats in space
In the 6th, i'll make people semi transparent, not that they hide parts of the project, but for me they're too much eye-attractive
In the 7th, i'll do nothing (!) but move it at the first position, just that it's impressive!

As a 3D man, it was nice to see the big version of your logo, but i wouldn't put it that way for several reasons , maybe you could put it in the background, or make it the first thing customers see before surfing in your project (or something like that)

In the "about us" section, i'll write "3D architectural" or "three dimensional architectural" cause the 3 is actually alone, it's hard to read and strange


And one day, maybe i'll take time to apply all those good advices on my own :lol:
