Great review – Liam, I think your main problem with this design is the sidebar. It is way too far down and just like PBD says, makes a huge amount of empty space that looks really ugly. If you change that (which shouldn’t be too hard, just take out a few widgets.), it’ll be much better. Keep it up!

“just because everyone’s doing doesn’t mean it should been done on our sites” This is my favorite quote and highly agree with this one.

As a designer I think the website design is even more important, than a regular website. I personally would create some rounded edges its very “blockish”.

I really like the way you used the yellow in your design! I think yellow is quite a difficult color to use. At least I don’t use it very often. Good job and great site by the way!

Thumbs up for this review!

I know what you mean Keith, and can understand the bravery part, but I’m always up for suggestions, other people’s point of view, and overall interest in my work! Honesty in any industry is needed.

I know what you mean too about asking for a purpose to a site. Sometimes I put stuff on my site without properly thinking, do I need this (Flickr, Twitter etc)? What will it do for my users? I realise after time that they aren’t necessary. It’s a question of designers asking honest questions to themselves, just because everyone’s doing doesn’t mean it should been done on our sites. In part that’s why I was bold with my colour palette, I adore colour and very rarely see it splashed around, I guess it’s a style I love adopting.

I’m looking forward to seeing more reviews from Michael in the future.

Well done Liam, it takes a brave man to have his blog reviewed.
And of course great review from MM.

The review helps us all ask meaningful questions about our sites. I sometimes try to persuade clients not to add things to sites, by saying that it does not add to the reason the site is there.
Perhaps before any of us start a new site, we should ask ourselves the question…

What is the purpose of this site?… to get new customers / members.
to express my opinions, to make money online….. add your own reason here.

I’m sure there are lots of other questions we should ask ourselves, but perhaps that simple question would keep us focussed.
