Freshly~Squeezed~Media

[Gloomycus]

to me it almost look slike your 'comapny' is called next generation instead of freshly squeezed media. you might want to look into that.

[itworks]

it is nextgeneration, freshly squeezed media is just a promotional frase i think

[Gloomycus]

The title of this thread misled me.

[n-gen]

yeah it works is right

the company name is "nextgeneration"

but the tag line is "freshly squeezed media"

it incorperates the fruity aspect of the site and the age of the team. it came to me in a dream.

[THeHNIC]

nice site, pretty basic...simple.




Strawberries look gross!

ill be off, have a nice weekend

most of the stuff i have to comment on is alignment... im really picky about it.
i think i should see a doctor.

anyways, i will do a few ps files and post them up tomorrow to show what i mean.

also, would be nice if something happened to the buttons to show that im over each one... even just a little flash, or movement etc.

in portfolio... when you click on a project 'luanch' is different on every page.

launch site
launch
launch site
then launch site in light grey....

why?


a personal preference but i think having the fruit etc appear with a mask up effect would look much nicer than having them slide from the sides... just a personal opinion there though.
i think it would look 'cooler' so to speak.

welcome home is in uppercase but everything else is lower case.

also, welcome home doesnt change to the title of each section....?!?

you have a sound icon but nothing to tell people that its a sound controller.

music on/off might be better?

i would change where you say i will recieve a quote within 24 hours... can you promise this if you go away for the weekend?
or if your busy one sunday? what if i have to wait 48 hours?

deffinatly work on your alignment (typography)

[itworks]

these are good suggestions, listen to Onionboy.

also, call me on msn so i can help you with the contact form, it's not working correctly.

one other thing i noticed is that you use a pixel font for some contents and then use other vector font for other contest, this isn't consistent.

This is the php I always use :

<?
/// The format of the e-mail :
$msg .=   "From Name:     $sender_name    \n";
$msg .=   "From E-Mail:   $sender_email   \n";
$msg .=   "Message:       $message        \n";

/// The address and subject fields :
     $to = "YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS" ;
$subject = "THE SUBJECT"         ;

/// The compile and send mail command :
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
?>

Now create three input boxes with the variable names

sender_name
sender_email
message

It's easy enough to add more variables...

sorry robb, but he's using a php script with auto-responder that i made and that is a little better and more advanced then that although the problem is that it's not working properly in the flash form because he must have it in a different place and the paths are not correct anymore.

[robbmcaulay]

I'm not interested in autoresponders, would I still benefit from your script?

Can I get a look? mail@robbmc.com

all great ideas onion boy,

i think youll all agree that the skeleton of the site is up and running its just all the little usablitity niggles that need to be ironed out.

expect then all the be worked throught by the end of the week.

thanks for all the help

FYI Don't use a emailer script that display's your email. You will get ridiculous amounts of spam.

I agree with Onionboy... the alignment and consistency of words needs to be looked at. Also, faster picture animations and some better pictures would benefit you greatly. It looks like you used the raster-to-vector effect on the images. I think a nice "fresh" image would relay your tagline a little better.

You also might want to consider showing pictures of your work in the portfolio... many clients aren't going to want to launch another window unless something catches their eye.
