Give me all your thoughts on the site.
Everything from the looks to the feel to features you mis, anything!
Its a site about Webdesign, Graphics and Applications.
Any comments are very much apreciated.

I've been making GFX for a bit over a year in total.
Any graphics in particular you find cheap?
I was already thinking of revising my forum theme and main site theme so any tips are welcome.

I like the site, everything goes well, with the colors. Although, you should make a link to the site on your forum, and make the banner on your forum, full length.

i like it

the site works for me. the portfolio / forum combination seemed a little awkward to me, but kinda just made it seem like you wanted to show your work, and were willing to help others if they weren't sure how to do it or something.

i'm not very graphically inclined, but i liked the ones on the site.

i would have preferred the website links to take me straight there, instead of to an interim page where i had to click to go there again, but i understand that if hosting the pages is a problem or anything that it may be safer to just have a static picture of the site.

oh, is that rikku on your header? is that ok to use there?

Please Note: Everything that I like about your website has been left out of this post!

Source Code Gripes:
  • Clean up your HTML
  • Use external CSS documents to handle styles

use external CSS documents to handle styles
HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />

;)

The code has been stacked a bit becouse of SEO reasons and php usage (don't plan on echoing \r\n every time).

If I find the time I will redo the entire websites layout, but thats going to take a while.
