S H A G R A T : E I G H T

I redesigned my page and got a domain. What do you think. Is it too simple. Please give me some comments.

http://www.shagrat.com.kg

i was about to use that military gate from istock...
nvm... i'll go find another photo...

anyways, nice job on this version like the others...

where's ur site hosted at?

I like it, oce again, you've created a clean and simple site.

BTW, you spelled 'aiming' as 'aming' in the first line of the site!

It is nice and simple, but I don't like how you have the navigation. You can't tell where you are going until you mouse-over the links. Then the words are sideways and hard to read.

I think should comment on the nav too. The symbols at the bottom look very nice, but they should maybe have a link to the rollove on the side which dek was whining about, just so you know what they are. I'd also change the font and font size (to smaller size) for the vertical writing. Maybe have the writing more like this:

L
I
N
K
S

It is easier to read in the end and it will save Deker a creak in the neck.

If you want anyone other than other web designers (clients) to visit a site, then making the navigation easy to understand is quite important.

As for the links in the bottom left, you could at least put some alt text to describe what they are, and maybe label them Links. Pretty much any web designer will know what they are, since they are on almost every trendy web page on the internet, but your prospective client may not, then click one and get lost off on some other site instead of staying at yours and hopefully paying you money.

On the plus side, your page loads extremely fast. I also think it would be cool to load a different image on the left side for each page. You could use the same tint and everything, just a different picture in the same theme. Or you could have it load in randomly from the server.

Nice, but I really prefer shagrat 7 to this one. If I recall correctly it had a beauty splash page and a nice header.

Any person who sees those little symbols at the bottom of a page and has been browsing "design sites" for a good while, will know that they are sufstation, design is kinky, kiori(sp?), australianfront. the last one, dunno what that is. Some japanese zine. but went to their "english" site and the fonts were all hosed up.

The last one is Shift, D00d. I never go to it though because I think the layout really sucks and I can never find anything or read anything so it's pretty much worthless. It does have some nice splash pages though.
