Hello everyone.

We would like to mention our new website http://www.symbook.com
Both to promote the service, but of course also to get your comments / thoughts about the service and design!

Hope you like it

Very nice!

- The combination of the low-key background and the neon-like colors is very effective. The use of simple, clean shapes in the background emphasizes the nature of the service very well too.
- Valid markup! Wonderful!

- If I had to nit-pick one thing, it would be that the source code for the demo (Flash) page doesn't validate. Other than that, I can't fault it either design-wise or code-wise!

Have to agree with Matt on this one. There is a certain simplicity to the site that makes it easy to look at for the most part. There were a couple things that were a bit distracting, but I'm not going to harp on them because I am easily distracted by random objects.

Are you posting this all over the internet?

As it stands, it's verging onto spam.

Thanks for the feedback.

Acctually i never noticed that the view page doesnt validate. better look into that. The CSS is giving me a few problems too, but mainly because im using a few "dirty" fixes.

evo: yes i have created this post on multiple forums to get more feedback. I didnt think it would be a problem as long as i keept it in the review areas - i'm definitely not trying to spam anyone.

Agree with a previous comment - the bright colours work well with the background. The text is very readable.

I am somewhat bothered by the animated page curl on the front page - it is distracting. It's not huge, but it does tend to draw the eye while reading the text.
