Just came up with a prototype for my friend's fathers company site. Please let me know what you think of it.

Original site: http://www.absolutesound.com.sg

Prototype: http://www.sapphiro.net/abs/

Full coded in xhtml/css, this is my first time doing a 'corporate' site, so I went for something plain and simple. (and since I cant really do something nice given that boring logo~) =x

Looks good nice a clean.

Is the footer meant to look like this at the end

hmm nope, haha thanks for telling me, my browser worked perfect for me though. Fixed it now. (The part where i declared vertical-align: middle spoiled that part )

Alot nicer and more professional

The only thing that makes your version nicer is the smaller layout and defined content areas. The navigation is basically the same thing. I personally don't think you've improved it much at all.

Very true, that's because I'm basically handicapped with the restrictions given by my client.

- Gotta stick to their current logo, when I dont even have their original png or psd logo file, so I sticked with the exact same logo without resizing it.
- Nothing flashy or stylish, "plain and simple" is what they wanted.

simple and clean.. nice nice.. great work...
