Visit it at: http://home.no.net/thomlie/ and give me some tips and comments. And please give me a tips on how to create a good menu. Not too many effects, but still cool AND readable...
:D

cya

Funky, nice work!!

s0rrY

but I can't quite read the nav...
it is identifiable, but after i stare at it for
awhile.

maybe u should get rid of the doubling...or it looks like that.

also
the splash doesn't
quite do much for me...
i don't mean animation or fancy
effects on mouseovers:
it's just there. and the font in the bg
ruins the zoom-ish effect.

I don't quite lie the border you put around that either,
but i suppose that was a forwarning that there
was a chromeless window coming up.

over all, i don't think the fonts match. the north designs
on the splash and on the main page don't match with the
other "header" fonts you used.

the face in the top kinda doesn't fit either, and the text
on the bottom of the screen should be moved up or something
so that the web-surfer doesn't need to scroll down
just to see some blurred font.

the general color scheme doesn't quite match,
dark blue's and dark greens, blacks...

well the colors are alright i suppose.

i think it's alot better then the old one tho

Yeah, I know the menu is not so very good, but when I make somthing better I'll set it up.

The reason why I used the border around the image on the splash, is because if I didn't it would not lok so nice, cause there would be a difference between the image and the background, if you understand what I mean.

I know the fonts don't quite match, but in the logo, I didn't use a font, i drawed it (!).

And about the copyright image at the bottom, I'm trying to get it higher, but it is not so easy with all the tables I've got to make the scroll-area work...

Thanks for your review, do you have an advise of how I can make a clean menu, that fits in, but still is pretty cool?

well instead
of that huge "window" border
on the splash you could've just done a black border or something... but either way the chromeless blends in w/ the
background, and i still dont' know why u need a chromeless...

and about the "hand writteN" font...
either way, it still doesn't match

wow, now I'm making much graphics! I have made a new design, AGAIN! :D
Ok, It isn't really so new, I made the design maybe half a year ago, but I just found it again, and updated it again.
I know it is not so very user-friendly really, but it's cool, heh?

Can someone tell me how I can make that little metal-thing that is under the text, go over it? I have seen people do it, but how?

(And I haven't removed the chromeless windows, but now you can choose if you want to use them!)

I don't really like the brushed metal effect on it, but the design of the interface is pretty good. Also your jpeg quality is way to low, don't be afraid to up it. I mostly use gifs (i like clean design a lot), but when I use jpeg I set quality from 65-80.

ow yea, btw don't put the entire nav and use an image map, cut it up in Image Ready or Photoshop, this way your site loads a lot faster.

Looks very nice.

Thanks for all comments so far.
This is the design I have used most time on ever, so it should at least be OK....
I'll give you a tip: Load the design, then go about 1-2 meters away from the monitor, and look. Looks good, huh? =)
