Nice & Clean. There are only 2 things that I could suggest :
#1 - put some highlight on the main nav because it's really small right now :)
#2 - you've animated like 40% of the website. It feels unfinished, either animate everything or try with different transitions that don't make you expect more. I would animate everything :)
Cheers

Good tale Stoyan. It is all very true.
I remember the flash age. Here are a few of my works that are still online.
1. Copenhagen Festival Ensemble (2011) https://webtalkto.com/other/cfe-website-version-one/index.swf
Then, in 2013 I have rebuilt the site: http://www.copenhagenfestivalensemble.com/
2. Marie Hanskov (2011) http://mariehanskov.com/
It's been awhile since then :) I have a good memories about the Flash period.
The Labs is fantastic! Way to go, man :)
Cheers

Hey Ed, I'm a huge believer in animations and transitions in today's web so I would really advice you to do so :) I wrote an article about it few weeks ago, check it out when you have time - https://medium.com/@daskaloff/what-is-creative-front-end-development-53721d0b5d64

Hi Sotyan, thanks for your feedback. I agree with you on the menu being a bit too small and hard to read. The animation is something we are still unsure if we should have it or not, so I agree with you on this one too.
Thanks again

Crafting beautiful things from design phase and all the way to finished and developed phase.

The site feels fresh and clean and I like the color pallete. I personally like combining blue and red and I think that you did a great job of complementary implementing them. The UX and content also seems good, but I am not really a fan of customizing a pre built theme. There is just too much unnecessary code in there and the performace is suffering, so it's not an ideal situation. And also the control is just not there and this shows at the console, where you have some errors.
Don't really get why you have woocommerce plugin turned on, where you don't have any of the e-commerce related features on the site like adding to cart and simillar. I would also suggest using some caching plugin for serving static files, which would improve your site performance.
Overall the branding part is there, but I am missing some more front-end optimization and more unique elements.

Hi Gregor, thanks for your feedback on the website.
We decided to go with a pre-built theme because when we started this project our budget was very limited, not to say zero.
At the beginning, Artmakerz wasn't supposed to be a digital agency, we had a different business idea but then after doing some research, we decided to go with a different approach. I get what you are saying about the unnecessary and I totally agree with you on that, but I think we did a pretty good job in customizing this theme and it looks pretty good.
The reason we have woocommerce on is because we use it for our Startup Program http://www.artmakerz.net/startup-program/ We use it to deliver the final project to the startups.
We also had a caching plugin on but we had to turn it off a couple weeks ago as it messed up with our front a little bit, we will soon fix this issue.
I really appreciate your feedback.
Regards,
Ed

I like the site. Its clean, simple and straigh to the point. It may look simple but it is effective. The color chosen makes me feel confident that this company will deliver. The animations are simple and subtle enough not to be irritated. Good job guys!

'trustworthy feel' is absolutely there - very good job on this part.
I have noticed you have a few errors, check F12 Console.

Thanks for your feedback. We wanted to keep it simple but at the same time modern and most importantly trustable. We launched the agency a year ago, so for us, it was very important that we could give this 'trustworthy feel' to our customers.

Totally agree with you, Maxim. We were actually thinking of designing something a bit different for the BG image and your feedback is definitely very helpful.
Thanks again.

Great :)
The overall message better be consistent. The cover image gives important message and can help you to PR the service.
You have mentioned "located anywhere in the world", as example, it is a good subject for the image.

I get what you are saying, Maxim. "One of a kind" it's more related to the way we offer our services (high-skilled freelancers located anywhere in the world), but I see what you mean.
Thanks for the feedback.

I feel like when you say ONE OF A KIND the home page, at last before the fold, needs to be also ONE OF A KIND. The office building BG image definitely cannot represent ONE OF A KIND work :)

Nice website, It's simple but you can tell the designer spent some time working on the look & feel. I like the color palette and the images used on the background. The portfolio seems to be very good too.
Good job!
