Hi,
I have just bee through and finished my new company site and now looking for feedback and places where I can make improvements.
Be as harsh as you like as I love open and honest feedback as its the best.
www.blancdigital.com
I wanted the site to be clean and simple to match the logo and company moto
Cheers
Good.
Plane design.
Consider adding more colour and images
I like the design, it stands out and has a kind of style. My suggestion is that you keep the style of the images you use, but change the content. For example, "give us a shot" with a picture of a gun. Is that going to help you get business? Any company could put up that exact same image and sentence and it would mean the same thing. Think of something that is unique to your business that will showcase why your company should be chosen.
Is the site down or something? It's wierd the name's resolving, all the browsers sit there "waiting for..." but don't even time out... it's like there's a keep-alive or something on the connection as none of the browsers are giving up the ghost (going 5 minutes plus)...
Nevermind, now it's working... that was odd...
simple layout -- my concerns would be the fixed width, and worse the undersized fixed metric (aka px) fonts. Those two things add up to an accessibility /FAIL/...
Size-wise I'm wondering if that head_img3.jpg wouldn't actually be smaller as a 8 bit .png given the long runs of the same color... still at 86k uncompressed and 67k compressed it's small and fast loading... though combining down the stylesheets could help speed things along, and you might want to get MEDIA types on those style embeds.
Code-wise it makes no sense -- content before the H1, entire document wrapped in a form for no good reason (Is that ASP I smell?), slew of wrapping div and classes for no good reason, line breaks around elements that frankly.... should be padding's job on the parent/siblings, non-breaking spaces for nothing, and that it's a tranny isn't helping either.... nothing like being in transition from 1997 to 1998... transitional is for supporting old/broken/outdated coding techniques, NOT for building new websites. You also have your keywords massively stuffed with phrases which means even if it wasn't ignored, as.... well, it's called keyWORDS... not keyphrases, notkeysentences, but keyWORDS. Pick 8 or 9 relevant words that are present INSIDE BODY at no more than 128 characters total... anything more than that is ignored. The use of attributes that were deprecated for a reason (like target and border) and paragraphs around non-paragraph elements certainly can't be helping matters either.
As lean as the HTML for that page is at 4.32k, there's little good reason for it to be much more than about 3.5k... naturally on subpages with more content you'd see greater reductions.
Though concept-wise it's clean and simple -- it just needs the tweaking a few elements for accessibility and to drag it into this century.
Very simple site.
Why don't you add more icons before every title to make it more impressive

I love the banner styles, would love to see the twitter and facebook icons redesigned to match.
I think it looks great but I would add a bit more colour to it!

It was loading instantly. Right now it took about two minutes before it showed the site. Maybe some performance problems with the host?

I like your site, and can't see any problems with the speed. Really like the clean logo, and the simplicity of the site, though I agree in adding some more graphic elements, such as icons, images and so on.
One thing I missed is a link around the logo to tak you to the home page, but overall very pleasant
I like the simplistic look of your website. Safari loads the site immediately, but Firefox doesn't open it or time out.
Looks great, very professional. Loaded quick for me.
Seems quite simple ))) ... but I think it is the idea of this website
1) I would change the image - a big pistol on the half of the screen!
2) I would add a little bit more content!
3) And I would add more graphics!
For me it's a decent, minimalist design. Not breathtaking as such, but certainly not a lot to criticise.
One comment though is that I'd reconsider the illustration of the syringe on your services pages. At best the phrase 'what we can inject' seems a little forced; at worst it conjures some quite dark images you probably don't want to be associating your business with. If I was being harsh, you could level similar things to the picture of the gun on your homepage.
Just my thoughts.

Hi
I like the banner styles very retro. It plan but good. how about some prices to stop time waster, ei web site form £100.00 for 5 pages.
Thanks
remember you always need to make a website which is compatible in all browsers and auto stretch in different screen resolutions, i dont like the design of your website as i am writing my honest review. Just a take a look at higher screen resolutions of your website and you will see how small your menu font size is showing.
1.More graphics
2.Design the layout to be more dynamic, not mean the flash, but the feeling
3.The color is monotonous and a little boring
The first impression of the website is a little stiff, excuse me , but it is my true feeling. Your business is the design, which means that your own business should be attractive, it is your business card.
Site loads instantly and working very well, just that i am getting bored by the flat, non-web 2.0 design. It looks like a site from the early 2000's.
I would suggest adding some kind of slider on the index page, also try to move from aspx to wordpress or joomla, aspx it is a very old coding system and try to make the logo 3d or add some shadows.
My overall score is 6/10. I am not a fan of the old design.
