- I really don't understand this balloon that says "THIS BLOWS." It's not clickable, it doesn't move, and it doesn't fit with the design. Huh?
- This copy isn't all that well written, but it's not too bad. And is "I have been designing webs..." a typical thing to say in Ireland?
- The links here aren't easy to notice with low contrast and no graphic call-outs. Also, a portfolio link would be a good idea.
- The footer is very basic, but the nice opacity and light border styling makes it plenty attractive. Again, the link contrast here isn't so good.
- This text just doesn't fit in my opinion. First off, it's an image, and it doesn't have to be. Second, it's letting the user know Freshest does web design, but much too loudly for the rest of this page. Third, why is it all along up here with no other copy?
- Nice opacity effect and an interesting use of definition text. I like this, though the text above should be "FRESHEST" and not "Web Design."
- Simple style for this text, but it works very well with the color and size chosen.
- Great background texture here. Looks very detailed, but doesn't stand out so much that it takes away from the content.
Inspiration: Freshest
With a website called Freshest, the design needs to live up to the name, and this one does. The quiet background texture is fantastic, as is the simple layout used. Typography is solid, though the contrast on links is not great, and the large image on the left works well with the content.

The background image (I suppose they're leaves?) has a nice little effect when you resize the window. Not the parallax effect we've seen so much lately, but more of a way to ensure the background has some stretch for wider screens. Interesting use of transparent PNGs, but the background image could have just been made wider.

Very nice. I love the color scheme. The texture of the background really makes this pop. I am having a slight bit of trouble reading the links though. This is probably just my monitor though. All around this is a nice page.

Nice find Hatrick Paney! I'm a big fan of paper textures especially. It'd be really cool if they used a more natural brushed typeface over Helvetica.

I agree with you in most of your comments. I think this website has a "nice" logo concept, but used poorly throughout the site. And also the big Web Design headline and that button... they just do not belong there.
Colors look good. Transparencies... I pass. =)
Finally I dare to offer my feedback, hope you don't mind, Patrick!:
- Design: 6 / 10
- Usability: 4 / 10

Nice find! Although not the best design out there xD

Clean and simple. Really dig this one from a simplistic perspective.
