Nice and creative. What do you guy’s think of my site pentontechnologies.com ? it too is black & white
It needs some work, no offense 🙂
These black and white web designs showcase strong – often bold design, great use of space in the layout and use of light and dark tones in imagery. I think that if your website design looks good in B&W then your’re web design is halfway there!
Nice! Shows that you don’t need colors to be creative.
