    Hi all!

    I just redesigned my site. It's still somewhat empty, but I'd like to know what you think:

    http://www.aliciaramirez.com

    Let me know if it takes too long to download.

    Hey There,

    I like your design and the colors, but I am not so sure about the 3 images (statues of pre-Columbian Mexican artifacts) you used for the homepage. No doubt they look great, but I feel that it's of little relevance to the business?

    Well, It does load long. Any way, the first impression is good. I like the use of color shceme and the menu. But something I didn't like at all is that hover with text on the big buttons. And also that hover for a:link is also totally out of your webs color scheme, and I have never really liked background property for a:links.

    Any way, It's a nice web and you should add some pictures to content to make it a little more attractive.

    There are a few problems that I see...

    On the right column box the headings for search, tell a friend, customize, seem to go over the box (off by 1 pix leftside - firefox).

    Also on a few pages for example:
    http://www.aliciaramirez.com/goodies/wooden-bench

    This page looks totally broken in IE, and same prob in firefox.

    the footer or container is not clearing, the foother appears near the header image no the bottom of the page. (in firefox)

    The footer looks different in IE (larger font) not sure which is right.

    Anywyas it looks like you are still working on things, but so far I think you did a great job, love the color scheme and the images used.

    Nice design, the only thing that seems majorly wrong with it is on the individual blog entry pages the footer gets all wonky and covers a bunch of text.

    Thanks all for your feedback.

    There was a conflict in my template causing the footer to shoot up in my individual entries. Fixed.

    I'll check the other issues in the new year...

    Happy New Year everyone!

    Sorry, but it doesn't seem fixed to me... the footer is still up near the top of the entry.

    I am not sure that right sidebar on the home page works well at all. I mean it visually (graphically) of course. I do not like it. Besides other parts of the site are solved good, it looks all right to me. "Latest Case study, Latest blog entry & Latest desktop image" - the typeface was not the best choice, it does not fit there. I would change it.

    It's nice. The colors, the idea, everything. Home page images are little bit scary but it's good if you want people to remember your site... :)
