What do you need? -- SectionEach feature inside this section will link somewhere. I will suggest that you include a link on the bottom of each feature or a button itself with a label of read more. The reason for my suggestion is that you are using button for discussion forum but not for other things. | |
| Serious Problem | |
The visitor needs to know where they areVisitors need direction and mapping. I can't appreciate from your design how the menu will tell the visitor where they are in your site. Usually you do this by highlighting or underlining the menu. You might have this already there, I just can't see it. | |
| Positive Feature | |
Color SchemeMy first impression is calm, and serenity when I see the design. The color scheme is good, and the green contrast to call for action is great. | |

| 1 | Fantastic call for action. Immediate and with the right color to stand out. |
| New Idea | |
Instead of the Contact UsI understand the need of convention, in today's world, even the most traditional news groups are using twitter and facebook. Instead of the contact us square, us the social media icons and give the visitor a few ways of contacting you. | |
NewsletterBefore hitting submit I thought on another idea. Please add a newsletter subscription, it is a good way of collecting future member or donor's emails. | |
In terms of visitors' experience, your site is great. I really like the idea behind the color scheme with the green impact.
Hope you well in your organization.

| 1 | Why is it so tight in here?? |
| 2 | LOOK at all this space!
|
| 3 | And this space |

| 7 | drop shadow - too harsh |
| 8 | This suggests to me that autism is the missing piece to the puzzle, which it is but I wonder if you can do this more creatively as opposed to literally, as after all, you want to appeal to everyone - not just the autistic
|
| 9 | But not this one |
| 10 | wasted space |
| 11 | make a FAT footer with links to worldwide documentation on autism, this will help your site |
| 12 | more wasted space |

Ummm, I think you have gone backwards in terms of impact...
this happens, but I think you really need to ditch this design, it has fundamental things that just don't work...
Wow you have so much space on this site, that you really need to look at the effectiveness of your placement, white space is GOOD, wasted space is DEAD...
I say go back to the previous version and tweak it... also I don't know about the color it's all a little too scientific to me.
Hope this helps, Good Luck!
This is not the same client. Same disorder. Different client.
Ok got that, but is there a way you could bring their design a little bit more into the future and make it more "child" friendly, maybe look at Haider's latest concept, that style of design would feel a lot better and would really work on this type of site...
Good Luck!

| 1 | There are some balance issues at the top. |
| 2 | Wasted space in the footer. Try to cut it in 1/2 |

| 1 | I LOVE these! great attention grabber! |

| 1 | There is alot of tension up in this area. Try adding some breathing room between elements and simplifying the navigation menu.
Also your gradient is a little strong, try something a little more subtle and closer to the color of your bubbles.
I love the type treatment in the rest of your site. However, your header fonts seem to clash with the rest of the site. |
| 2 | Are you set on this logo? If so it doesn't match the feel with the rest of the site.
I think you would do much better with something a bit more friendlier.
|
| 3 | I see what you are trying to do here. Very creative!
However, I feel like its a bit to dark and overbearing. Try matching the color in those lovable bubbles below. |
This is a great start. However, there seems to be some confusion with your branding. Are you wanting to come off "friendly and fun" or "corporate and serious". Try and set your overall feel for the brand/website before you start.
Good luck!

How about friendly and serious? Is that realistic? :)
Really like the jigsaw background and the cleanness, though the nav bar and logo look a bit too close together

| 1 | Too many different fonts |

| 1 | How about moving this below the title and let it have the whole width of the page? |
| 2 | Move a bit higher |
| Critical Problem on mockup_home_v1.jpg | |
| 1 | Just put the "contact us" in the navigation bar |

| 1 | How about making this bigger (background jigsaw will be bigger also), then in the centered below "our mission" |

| 1 | Don't think this is needed |

| I think the front page could have a picture to make it a little more visually stimulating | |
