  Old  Tarawebdesigns got a facelift!

After asking for review some time ago and digesting all the suggestions, I gave my site new look. Let me know what you think about my main site. Thanks

Before nit picking, can I just ask how long you've been in to webdesign?

Were you a developer before trying to become a designer?

I'm just starting out in template design, before I helped building Joomla websites, using other providers' products.
And, Enigma, I do remember your initial comments, so I'm ready for the "bashing", just keep in mind, everyone has to start somewhere...

The best learning curve is;

1) Learn how to do it
2) Practice doing it
3) Keep practicing for about a year at the least
4) Then come back and show people what you can do.

Other wise, beginners are just filling up the internet with designs that look like they've come from the 1840's. Kindest advice i can give.

Wow! I just asked for an opinion about my main site's design, not how to become a designer. Anyhow, you are entitled to your opinion - relative or not.

Honestly, I don't know what you were expecting. The design really isn't very good, and somebody with years of design experience has given you advice on how to improve it.. Instead of taking it in, you decided to make a smart-alek comment, and throw it back in his face.

I don't think there was an advice how to improve it in any posts yet... Sorry, if my comment hurt anybody's feelings.

There is plenty of advice being given here, the advice i gave you outlined on how you can become better, not how to improve this design, because to be blatently honest, it cannot be improved, because it contains absolute poor quality, lack of detail, the worst execution i've seen in years.

If you don't want to take advice that is constructive, then thats fine. Maybe we should all sit here and lie about how god damn superb it is.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for - review of the current design.
And again, I didn't mean to offend you (which I feel I did) - sorry!
