| 1 | This logo won't work well on print, or as a standalone logo, it is too much integrated in the website design. |

| 1 | This section is way too high. This will take up almost all space above the fold (before scrolling) and though its a nice picture it isnt very informing about the goal of the site. Please consider putting unique selling points here, or information on what your site is about. |
| 2 | This is too much text, try to make it more readeable and more about telling in one view what the site is about. |
| 3 | Why should they sign up? Do they get free offers? What is your privacy policy? Will they be spammed a lot when signing up (hope not, but you can reassure them :)) |

| 1 | How will you show that the current menu-item is active/selected. Also where will you place submenu items when the site expands? All things to think about! |
Hello,
Congratulations on your start in webdesign. It is not too bad for a second try! I have some tips though:
These are some tips! Don't hestitate to ask if you have questions.

| 1 | put the SM icons in the footer. Also, the "follow us" is a registered trademark, be careful of it's application across multiple brands. |
| 2 | slight alignment issues |
| 3 | shadowing not necessary |
| 4 | if you use the ribbon effect, I would use it in the banner heading as well instead of the shadows |
| 5 | I would lose the shadows on the input fields. |
| 6 | you are over using this arrow effect. this should be a separate submit button |
| 7 | alignment issues. This footer needs to be a darker color, add SM icons, and contact info. |
| 8 | this needs to be a clearly defined logo adding signature branding |
Hi Michael - A pre-warning that my critique is going to be very nit-picky.
please see my notes....
Thanks a lot for your review. A lot to think about. Thanks!

Blog EntriesMay be have a section for Bog entries and tweets for activity. | |
Social IconsDo we want the users to drift away from the main navigation without browsing much! | |

Great ViewBut why spoil it with a banner across it? The photograph is your your attention grabbing focal point. | |
In fact the photograph could be the whole background theme with various headlining texts about your products: the cattle, chicken, pigs and farm vacations. I would use the front page as nothing much more than the picture, the website name and brief text blocks with links to the main information.
Thank you very much for your fantastic review, very informative and constructive. I do not have any questions at the moment but if I do I will definitely ask.
Thanks!
