James,

First, let me say thanks for putting in the effort to get something
usable and pretty together.

Then, let me say that I don't like it :-)

The function is fine, but the form is lacking in several areas.

- It's not very 'LEGOey', that is, beyond the minifig and the small
pictures of studs, there's nothing to visually identify it as a site
about LEGO. I don't think the choice of colour helps. Sticking to paler
or brighter shades of traditional 'official' colours would help, eg. the
prime red, blue, yellow, white, black, green, grey.

- There's nothing really 'UKey' about it either.

- I would prefer the links panel to use a larger font - make it stand
out a bit more.

All IMHO, but you asked :-)

Tony

thats fine. its nice to get some feedback :) the idea was to give it a professional edge. We figured a slightly more muted colour scheme would detract less from the images. Remember eventually this site is prolly gonna be stuffed with mocs and Lego (...) (25 years ago, 3-Aug-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)
