Hi there Rob!
Overall I think you have a very nice site!

(One minus is that it's a tablebased design. If you are familiar with xhtml/css and tableless design I really think you should consider re-coding it.)

One thing that kind of confused me was the links for the about and contact info. If it was my site I should lose the "firefields design" part in the link text and just have about and contact or maybe about us and contact us. I would also lose the slashes.

The information part on the left feels a bit unfinished/unpolished. Maybe change the type or spice up the text and/or the unordered list with graphics/icons... don't know but something.

But as I said overall it's a very nice little site. Keep up the good work!

Tomas

thanks tomas, i think your right about the writing on the left ill get on that... but im not to sure about it been tablebased i put it together with css! the only table is where the buttons are! could you elaborate what you meen by tablebased? also i think your right 'about us' and 'contact us' are pretty universily recognised i probably shouldnt mess with those.

hey robian i just checked out your site, some great work you got going there! i especially like that "anyeong" korean bar logo, i think you really captured that korean feel with clean use of colors. where's the bar located? maybe i'll get boozey there one day, hehe.

but overall i like it how your website is easy to navigate, no clicking just scroll over, and well organized :)

I really like the site and I think you're doing some solid work. My one critique design-wise is the sharp contrast between the square box where the portfolio items are showing up on the right and the organic teardrop shape behind it. I think maybe if you made the box that the portfolio items are loading into a little more organic, the design would jive a little better.

I also like the simplistic approach, but i must agree with tysoncadenhead, you should do something with that contrast between rectangular shapes and the curves, it looks really odd.

Also a personal question :D, when i saw the name firefields, i was expecting something based around the orange color. What the idea behind the name?
