site design, C&C please

[Aleksi]

I would love to get some feedback, this is the same site I posted earlier just a little more work done. Sorry to post only screenshots.

There is still some work to be done with the images, also I'm still waiting for the final text content.

Thanks for your time,

looks pretty nice. Grid's a bit loose though and I'm not a fan of the dotted lines. That's just me though, and I'd be interested to see it with the text bumped up a notch or 2

other than that it's a nice job

it looks nice, but i bet it would look even better with the "Latest news", "Exhibitions" and "Showcase" somehow minimized or something, and when you click on it it'll be visible, i'm not sure if this is possible with javascript or something. i just think it would look more "organized" or something.
nice job :)

I've always felt the broken borders make a site look sloppier.

I like the look, have to agree on the dotted lines....dotted lines make me want to find a pair of scissors... I think I spelt that right but overall looks great.

I checked it out and I thinks it looks good if you remove all the lines all together except the side ones.

nice. i've studied the DVB-H and M standards and its looks okay if the content is there.

thanks for all the feedback guys, I see some hostility againts the dotted lines :D

The reason behind the dotted lines is that it gives you more open and spacious feeling when there is no closed blocks and still you can easily recognize the different areas.

I have made a test with the lines removed from inner parts of the site and that wont work very well. this will make the readability of the content much harder, also it makes some elements to shout that, "hey, I'm just floating here without any purpose" ;)

So most probably, I'm not going to get rid of all the lines inside the page because those lines makes it much easier for the user to analyse the content and recognize the different "areas", but maybe I have to see what kind of effect i would get if I make the lines lighter or something.

Prewe, ofcourse that kind of functionality could be quite easily made, but I think I need to keep those elements visible all the time.

if there is still some more feedback I would love to know.

Thanks,
Alex

Actually I have to say that for me it has the opposite effect. Makes it feel claustrophobic. Maybe the problem is that they are so prominent. Maybe make them a light grey, and thus less obvious and it'll work better
