I'm not really an arty type, I only like MC Escher and Dali which is probably a good indication of my exposure to the subject. Limited, very limited. I know absolutely nothing about webpages, graphic design or anything in between but I can say the site looks great, has a consistent look and feel while still looking modern and making nice use of roll-over type clicky things.

It says you are studying for a degree. I think if you keep up like this, the degree will soon be in the bag.

I will admit that orange is not my most favourite colour but it does seem to "work" on your site. And the text is legible which so many people seem to forget about due to bad colour choices. Hardly an expert opinion but there you have it. Good luck.

I think the orange is fine. It's not to bright and it compliments the font colors you've used.

Thanks, yeah orange is usually one of the last colours I would choose, fortunatly most websites I see dont use orange either so I went for a different approach. Thanks.

No the font is actually different. It looks better on the website than what the image shows. I'm guessing it could be Helvetica but not sure.

Maybe perhaps bolden the font a little?

Ok thanks, I will look into it. It seems to vary alot depending on the system which is odd.

Yes, the text looked as it does in your image. No idea what font but I guess cross-platform and/or multiple web-browsers might have an effect. I'm on Linux and using Firefox if that helps any.
