ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 07, 2011
Hey guys,
I made this a while ago but never really publicized it but I'm going back into that kind of work now so I thought I might aswell post it here. I run a website called ProtoMedia, a web site creation company.
You can see the website here: ProtoMedia
The domain name is temporary until I set up my .co.uk/.com in the near future. I am also currently developing a website for Dimsum2u. Tell me what you guys think of the website.
Thanks.

We pay through PayPal, correct? What exactly do you do, make a website for us, host it, design it?
Monthly, or one time pay - flat rate?
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 08, 2011
Yeah, always paypal. You can check the services page to see what we can do for you. At the moment we don't cover domains and hosting but we can help you find cheap/free ones if you need us to.
Also, it is a one time easy payment.
RE: ProtoMedia - BeybladeStation - Aug. 08, 2011
Hm.
I was thinking of getting something similar... but have you had any customers yet? I'm willing to actually advertise for you, no cost.
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 08, 2011
If you see on the testimonials section, we've made a website for an MOT company. We're currently also working on dimsum2u's official site right now. It is near completion. And that would be great. Thanks.

Ah, you should really soften your logo, it looks very pixelated.
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 08, 2011
Thanks for the advice but I'm not really that good with graphics. I did what I could with the site haha. Also if you're wondering what the graphics service is with protomedia, it's not me who does it.
RE: ProtoMedia - Kai-V - Aug. 08, 2011
It actually looks OK on those big banners on the site, but for some reason they ruined the logo on its own.
Also, I am not certain how it was spelled, but having a testimonial by "S. Hussain" is really 'awkward' ... Of course, someone can have the same name or initials though ...
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 08, 2011
I essentially used the same text + layering styles for the small logo but instead of the respective colors as the strokes, I set it to a black 1px stroke. It came out quite pixelated but I wasn't sure how to fix it so I just left it.
Also, the testimonials section grabs 3 random testimonials from our database and lists them. Soon we will have around 5 more added onto that list (a few days hopefully) as I am on the verge of finishing quite a few websites so that wont always be appearing.

It must be because of the method you used for anti-aliasing then. In Photoshop, those options should be right next to the text size options.
Perhaps you made the stroke be inside or in the 'middle' when it should have been completely on the exterior side of the text.
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 08, 2011
Ah I see, I will check and try to fix it up. Thanks for your help.
RE: ProtoMedia - To - Aug. 08, 2011
For the testimonial, I presume Kai-V meant viewers might make this connection ...
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 08, 2011
Oh. I actually laughed out loud. What do you suggest I do then?
RE: ProtoMedia - Kai-V - Aug. 08, 2011
Is that customer also called Saddam ? If not, I would just include the first name and put the last name's initials.
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 08, 2011
No hes not haha. And alright sure, thanks.
RE: ProtoMedia - Sparta - Aug. 08, 2011
Medz, this site is very professional. How old are you? Is this your career, or is this just something you like to do?
Anyways, it looks great.
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 09, 2011
Thanks Sparta. Also I'd rather not disclose my age in public and I do this for money but it is not my full-time career.
RE: ProtoMedia - Fyuuor - Aug. 09, 2011
Just thought I'd let you know, when ever I click on 'Portfolio' it continually says '404 Not Found'.
Anyways, I like the design.

Gotcha, makes sense. That's cool that you're making money doing something you enjoy. Good for you.
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 09, 2011
@Fyuoor: I'm currently developing my portfolio page so that's expected since the file doesn't exist yet. And thanks.
Sparta: Haha, I guess so.
RE: ProtoMedia - Medz - Aug. 16, 2011
Added in the testimonial for dimsum2u to the site. I finished his website a while ago but he announced the release recently as he just finished adding in the beyblade stock.
