The core of the site is a portfolio section, featuring examples of the company's work, including exteriors, interiors, stands, industrial designs, walkthroughs and flybys; pricing information is also given. Available in English, Spanish and German versions, the site is very slick indeed; however, its reliance on cutting edge technology - "800x600 minimum resolution - only supported Internet Explorer 6 - Flash MX plug-in required" - limits its accessibility.

AutoCAD Drafter

http://autocaddrafter.homestead.com/AUTOCADPG.html



This website is designed to publicise its owners' CAD drafting, web design and copy editing technical service. However, for someone offering web design 'skills', the appearance of the site is frankly rather a mess - there are far too many scrolly effects and advertising banners, and some of the images are rather large and take a while to download. There is some useful content, such as a number of CAD-related links - if you can find them among all the graphics. [GAS, 22 Nov 2005].

The site's design has recently been tidied up, with a bold and reasonably effective front page. However, though the site is much improved, there remains some inconsistency in the overall appearance, and a lack of menus makes it hard to navigate from one page to another without repeatedly using your browser's 'back' button.
