Criticism Wanted!
Well, it's been a long time coming...and there's still more to do! But I'm very pleased to finally release RE-ENTITY DESIGN v4.
I hope you find the new format and focus interesting and rewarding. As time goes on I'll keep you up to date with how the new site has performed.
Meanwhile, I invite you to comment and criticise my work to your hearts content. I am looking forward to the remarks of my peers and customers. Feel free to add your name to your post or to leave it anonymous. I am especially interested in comments on W3C compliance, accessibility and best practices.
Unfortunately, this site doesn't validate as there are some things Blogger won't allow me to modify. I am looking to transfer to another blogging service once I have found a suitable alternative.
For the time being, my old site is still available here. I will eventually integrate the content into the new format.

I noticed a few warnings in the HTML validator but those might be due to Blogger so wouldn't worry about them too much.
On the design side I'd recommend using a logo to make the site more distinctive. As is it looks a lot like a default Blogger template which doesn't convey the cool stuff you're capable of. Changing the banner graphic would also help, it just doesn't grab me. Also, it contains a conflict between the style and the content, subdued monotone vs a energetic tornado (if that's what it is).
Why are you hiding your best work? I like the Cofield design. I'd bring a splash of that Cofield color to the home page, give 'em a taste of what Re-entity can do.
Nice work, a lot of good stuff in there.
I disagree that there is a conflict in style. The site is intended to appear authoritative, yet ordered and pleasing. Calm within the storm you could say.
There will be a listing here for the Colfield Wines web site soon.
Ah.

Good on ya mate! (Sorry. It's just my sister moved from NZ to Aussie 2 weeks ago so I'm practising.)
