Site review: The Digital Room

[jont]

Doesn't look like it Gareth - Normans attaches the details to the order so does not require the name and email details.

hi Gareth,

No the upload is from my original site slightly adapted to add a flash movie on submit so that the client has reassurance that the site hasn't frozen.

I have looked at lots of different upload systems, but none of them have quite the results i am looking for.

On my main site this upload system as had well over 7000 uploads from clients, most of whom are quite happy to enter there details.

In general what do people think about the colour of the site, is it a bit girly?

and what about having the other boxes content on all pages, ie sizes and prices?

Do you think that there is a good enough call to action to purchase?

Timmo.

I think the colour of the Start Your Order button would be better with the rollover images reversed - ie more eye catching to start.

It is a bit girly TBH but not sure if that matters too much - depends on your audience I guess.

I don't like the o'old fashioned' reverse drop shadow on the logo.

"There is a problem with your image's size."

..but you gave me no criteria?

i like the idea, but this is executed all wrong.

- dont collect emails at the upload stage
- no names either.
- the need to see it on a canvas. use the gd library.
- use an ajax/php uploader. get your head around the web 2.0
- loose the flash.

Ok it's me again,

Taking on board all previous comments, we've decided on a new approach,
this is very much work in progress, no navigation works yet and i haven't fixed ie6 yet either.

Before i go to far, i am looking for comments on the overal look and the call to action. I have a lot of work ahead, i don't want to waste my time if you guys feel i'm barking up the wrong tree.

The url is a temporary one and nothing to do with the site.

Thanks in advance.

we use a three screen setup running under vista and we had not had any problems with actinic crashing

in this new site, you could move the 'start your order' button above the people.

i had to scroll down to get at it.
