Description
Here is my proposed 2003 [link] site design, Fairly conservative, a lot of my clients are financial companies and large corporations. So a design that is too "cutting edge" will only scare them off. I'm trying to get away from my more techie look and feel of 2002 and moving to a more natural look and feel. I'm definitly avoiding the use purple, I'm so sick of that color.I'll be posting my inside template after I've refined the front page.
When you give me your comments, please keep in mind my target audience.
Thanks in advance.
--=== Update ===--
I've begun to put together my 2003 site at the following link. [link]
Thanks for all the comments, I've already made a few changes based on them, I still need to figure out what to do about the background, maybe I'll do that once I'm doing constructing the new site in the typo3 CMS framework.

Heya, great design idea! What font have you used for the menu?

Very detailed and well put together design. Nothing much else to say except that it is very nice.

Very nice. I really like the use of the paints on a web design web site. It says that your talent goes beyond computer manipulating stock photography. This definently sets you apart in the field.
I somewhat agree with what has been said about the background. I think you need something back there but the crosses are too rigid. A more organic design I think would work better.
From a usability perspective I'd swap the folio and client login. Clients who would login are already customers and shouldn't mind a little scroll action to get to the login screen. Don't make the new prospects search for your portfolio.

I find the organic shapes to be very refreshing. The overall feel of this particular layout is very well done. Keep on developing this style, hopefully it'll catch on and we won't be looking at all the trendwhore stuff.

You've combined nice clean functionality with a sweet grungy header that really helps portray the artistry you incorporate into all of your designs. I like it.

WOW! A very nice clean design with a unique look! Perhaps the only things I can fault are the background (which is perhaps a tad too simple considering the complexity of the foreground), and the topbanner (for being a tad too big, even though its very very yummy). As a whole, however, this is a top quality example of the webdesign artform. Well done!

Neat. It's unique, which is good! I think the topbanner is perhaps a bit to high. Maybe cut off half of it, or if you want to keep the original photo, then make the lower half transperant, blending in with the background.
The other thing I'm not really fond of is the background. The simple plus signs and the color reminds me a bit of a 'classic' feel. It doesn't go to well with the grungy menu headers imho. Maybe it would look better if it was light grey, or at least without the plus signs. Overall nice job!

Awesome!! I love the header and the colors. The menu is also nice, specially because you made it grungy. The scratches around the header also give a special feeling to it. Congrats!!

This is one of the best "simple" designs I've seen in a while. I love the paint box, though it might be interesting to map the pic so you can click on the paints as well (keeping the above site map of course.) The only other suggestion I have is possibly simplifying the background as the cross design is a bit distracting. Maybe make it plain or if you want some texture go with something that implies a tabletop and add some shadow around the box.
In any case it looks very clean and profesional, very nice.
