[rachel83]

[HelBel65]

[Jah Lush]

I don't like it...

Perfect for Nappy Valley.

[Curmudgeon]

Sorry still think its quite dull

"Chocolate box" was an appropriate phrase

[DulwichFox]

It was Better before it was coloured in..

Not good, but better.

Foxy.

I think it's hideous - the nose looks like bad plastic surgery. What's with the Stars & Stripes and fist salute?

[lousmith]

Tentatively Friday. Don't quote me though. Still a steep hill to climb. They're on it though.

I think it should be applauded, even if it isn't to your taste.

Street art, whether it is pleasing to your eye or not, is adding colour and individuality to walls that would normally be bland and uninspiring blocks of brick.

The guy has put it all out there and obviously spent ages honing his craft - that on its own deserves some respect.

agree despite hench baby

They look strangely cat-like?

[El Pibe]

"What's with the Stars & Stripes and fist salute?"

My first thought was Black Panthers ironically.

If they could add a Sandokan, a couple of She-Rahs and the odd Dogtanian I think they might have something.

Menu looks good. Not sure what they're doing with their website though. Either have a holding page or the fully finished website. At the moment it's a horrible looking work in progress. Doesn't give out the best impression!

[DulwichFox]

Agree with AlexC

Very amateur attempt at Website. Using Frames.. aarrhh .

Will not display correctly in all browsers and screens resolutions

Needs some serious work. Needs complete rebuild. I would use CSS & AP DIVS

Looking at the page source, I think they've used some sort of wysiwyg site builder.

ETA: Well, actually, they must have done as some pages are clearly just waiting for content to be added and have things like "Category 1" in them.

ETA: Agree it's a bit strange to go live with it before it's finished though. Maybe they just wanted to have something out there rather than nothing.

[DulwichFox]

It was Created using Parallels Plesk SiteBuilder 4.5.0

Where are the frames in that site, foxy?

I think with a little tweaking (contents and formatting) it will be perfectly servicable. Better than nothing IMO.
