Never rush things... cause they suck when you don't finish them.

Ok, fist off I admit I have been working on my portfolio more than the site that was due today... so... well here it is: a redesign of Fry Steel's wonderfull full flash website.I also admit that its probably not any better.
The nav system is clear and easy to learn tho, and I reduced on how many pages one had to navagate to, I took off the "Our Story" and the "What's New" Page and stuck it on the front so that the front of the site wouldn't be a "splash" page which I HATE. lol.
I feel if I didn't do this in 45min I could have done a lot better... but other than that, the site looks "OK" not great, I think I would have done better without the whole "steel" theme. yea...
well here is the LINK to my site... don't hate yo.

Sometimes you wear stretchy pants or critique websites further.

1. Easy to learn: The rollovers on the navigation never change so its really easy to learn how to navigate the site, there are no new menus to navigate either.2. Consistent: When looking at every page, there are no large changes to the site, the banner changes to let you know that your on a different page, but page layout does not change.
3. Provides Feedback: Nav changes, IE Rollovers.
4. Context: The navigation has both words and icons that tell you what the links are. Also has a similar style sheet to the whole website.
5. Alt: Unfortunately there are no alternatives to browsing the site, there is a straightforward way, and no other way around it. And no site map or search.
6. Action and Time; Easy Nav equals ease of time, everything is in its right category and there are no stray elements
7. Clear elements: Links have a nice red rollover, and the headers are easily distinguished between paragraphs and areas.
8. Clear labels: No ambiguity there, all clear.
9. Shows off the persons style, the banners are a little to much, the don’t totally go with the sites appearance.
10. Supports user goals: Has a nice touch and style to it, easy to navigate and is memorable.

John SimpsonOrganization:
This site is well organized one knows what to do when entering the site. Especially the brief descriptions of the sub pages.
Navagation: Is very easy, nothing ambigus.
I love the way he uses gifs to make it look like a full flash site, but doesnt' use flash.
I would change a few things, its a very dark site, almost gothic/industrial, I guess its the look, but I am not sure it works for a portfolio site.

Ebayin' it up.
Tokyo Plastic Opera DudeOk, so this was interesting because I was struggling with the use of table's with CSS and stuff. But all and all I think it came out pretty well. The overall design is modeled after Tokyoplastic's Site, with the thin lines and the weird "japanese" icons. I like my rollovers, it took me a while to figure out the whole tree thing in the background, but I am still not satisfied with it. The "home taken picture" looks out place, I don't know if its really needed, but it was a requirement for the assignment and it looks more like an afterthought.
