I think you still need some work with your designs. The site itself it's bad but could be more easily accessable(sp) to your works. it feels like a box site set up and some of the images are a bit pixelated. (at least on my computer)
I wouldn't get Business cards made up with out a "brand" as you stated you don't have a logo yet.
I've allways been honest and up front with you and think you have good potiential but feel you haven't honed in your skills yet.
Good luck.

I was kinda bothered with how long it took me to load the main page. You might need to clean up the coding abit >.o.
While I actually kind of like the look of the top menu bit, I have this bothered feeling of how the menus on the right that scrolls down reminding me of the lolcats blog. I think it would actually look better if the white boxed bar is pushed down below the red bit. The popular tags bit dosnt look like it is aligned either. And further more, yes the graphics that are used for linking to are pixelated.
cheers~

I like the basic look of the site, but I think having the 'popular tags' sections makes things look too busy. If that were removed, I think you would have a cleaner look that would be more appealing to your visitors. I really like your designs by the way! Great stuff!

does any one know java? i need help replacing a java script image rotater with a php rotater and i cant figure out how to position it in the little box thing OTHER THEN with simple Div positioning wich only works if the browser is in the right position different people have different browser sizes so absolute positioning so on wont work....

I don't know how the site looked like before, but I REALLY like the overall look of the actual one. Only one strong critique: the buttons for E-covers and other services are totally out of context. You should really consider using a clean font like Arial or Helvetica, and cancelling the black Bg and border. That font is too particular and doesn't fit well the clean graphic.
The rest is really really appealing. Great work!

I think things are off to a good start with your website! The only thing I would critique is that on the home page it looks nice until after the "Request a Custom T shirt Design by filling out the forum below" form. Oh, and I just realized there is a typo there. It says "forum", instead of "form". After that it gets too long, unbalanced, and the big buttons need a little work graphic-wise (I think that is what silverfx was referring to).
May God bless your new website!
