I am going to post some pictures of the ThoughtWire official site design to date, currently if you vist http://www.thoughtwire.co.ukyou will be greeted with an unpleasant holding page and some links to twitter, facebook and youtube. DO NOT FOLLOW THOSE LINKS! They are currently not updated and very bland.

Here is the home page, it is the only page I will show you as the others look very much the same.



Criticism is accepted and taken on board for further edits.

I'm not so sure about the radial blur effect you have on all the text, and I'm getting a migraine looking at it

Overall I think its a bit cluttered and doesn't flow very well. And I looked at the text for too long and now my eyes are applying that effect to everything; you really should change that .

Everything looks to squishy.

Also I can see weird paint brush lines on the icons.

You need some help with those images dude? I have spare time.

Edit:

Some free icons made be me





and here's my idea for the homepage

I'll make more if you want.

Hmm, how to give constructive criticism without sounding mean.....
Start over from scratch and use some color.

+1

In your defense however my first website consisted of a logo made with an online logo generator (GIF flames FTW!) and was a dark blue backdrop with bright red highlighting and text

Now that WAS an eyesore!

Yeah, this is because it exported to the wrong file type (it came out gif when it whas supposed to be png, my fault).

That was always my second plan, I just wanted more opinions.

Very nice, the ones I made were done in the space of like 1 min. It was generally a rushed process as we wanted to start building a
game.

If you want to feel free, I would be very thankful.

TY for all the helpful feedback! But here is just another question:
Which is better for editing/making images, Fireworks or Photoshop?
