PicnicTutorials Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) What do you think? First client website made 100% from scratch! http://ww w.mls ofsd corp.com/ I've already handed it over, so I'm not doing anymore work on it. Just proud of it, wanted to here from you all if you agreed (or not). Thanks! Edited September 9, 2009 by Eric Quote

virtual Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Beautiful site, nice clean and crisp. Well done, I'm sure your clients are happy. But what do you mean first design 100% from scratch, I thought you were an old hand at web design..? Quote
Andrea Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Very nice work - looks good. The logo - mainly the text in it, could maybe be a little crisper, but that's the only room for improvement I see. One question so - I don't see "Designed by You" on there anywhere. On the very few sites I've done I've always put it on. Any reason why one would not want to do that? It's free advertisement. Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Posted September 9, 2009 @virtual, thanks! Yeah, the client wanted a simple business card like website. Right up my ally! As far as Clients go, I'm still a relative newbie. Instead of learning by building for clients, I mainly learned by building sites for myself, and by building all my demos. Other than that, I've had other client sites I've inherited, and I've done a couple PSD-To-HTML, but this site marked the first client site from start to finish. What did I learn? I learned that I'm raising my rates! Building it, all the correspondence back and forth, that's a lot of work! @Thelma, thanks! I guess when I was a client, I didn't want their (the designer's) business card at the bottom of my site. So I don't like forcing mine on theirs. That said, at this point, I might of just put a little link down there (I forgot), but with that layout, I don't think it would look good anywhere. I'll see how it looks... Quote
virtual Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 You should put it in there, it definitely helps your page rank and SEO Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Posted September 9, 2009 Oh ya, and I agree about logo Thelma. That's just what their logo looks like. All I did was shrink it. In retrospect, I guess I could of erased out that part and retyped it, but I think I can live with it. Quote
jlhaslip Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Nice. You should be feeling proud. Is there a php/CMS in there? Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Posted September 9, 2009 Nice. You should be feeling proud.Is there a php/CMS in there? Cool, thanks! Yup, just added it this morning, Surreal CMS, best and easiest there is. Quote
Susie Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Very nice, Eric! I agree with the others....I would add the "Website by..." link. I even include a blurb about it in my contract. Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks Susie! I'm working on putting it in now. I actually already have that stipulation in my contract too. Quote
