Minor Problem on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 This whole section doesn't work at all. It doesn't really explain anything. The photos don't serve any purpose other than to fill the space. Use this space to communicate useful information, such as offers, or the unique selling point of "My pizza Shop" 2 The navigation doesn't sit well with the rest of the layout. Serious Problem on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 There are too many fonts on this design. I would limit yourself to two. 2 In food-based designs, photos of food are a key way of hooking people in. Hence, it's much better to build your design around the photo. At the moment, you have several photos and they are placed quite small so they don't stand out. Consider using one large photo and placing it at the center of your design. It will go a long way to catching people's attention and making them interested in the food. 3 This shape doesn't work. It looks like it supposed to be something, but it's not clear what, so it just ends up creating confusion. Positive Feature on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 It's great that you have important information at the top. But at the moment, this top section is too cluttered, so the important info doesn't stand out. Consider trimming it to the bare essentials. 2 It's great that you are trying to explain what My Pizza Shop offers. But I think you need to expand on it more. Try to communicate what makes "My Pizza Shop" better than everyone else. New Idea on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 This font is closely associated with Walt Disney. Don't use it in your work, as people will automatically think that there is a Disney connection. They will then be confused when they cannot find one. 2 Expand on this offer. Why should people care about Summer Scorchar? At the moment, it's not clear why it is important. Summary:
I really like the colours on the design. They are nice and bright and get my attention.
I'm in two minds about the layout. One one hand, I like the fact that it is different from a typical webpage, as it makes it more interesting. I also like that important details such as contact information are neatly separated from the rest of the content which makes them easy to access.
On the other hand, the originality of the layout is a problem, as it feels too disjointed. It doesn't flow in the way a normal website does and so is confusing.
To be honest, I would be tempted to scrap the layout and start again. I've given some hints in my notes to help. Like I said I start, the bright colours are nice, so I would create a design that builds upon this.
I would also recommend brushing up on the basics of the design especially contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity. The reason I say that is that your design has a lot of things competing for attention and as a result, none of them stand out. Applying these concepts would help greatly.
There is an article that explains them here. However, see if you can get a copy of "The Non-Designer's Design Book". It only takes an hour to read and you will see a dramatic improvement in your work.
Critical Problem on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 Like another reviewer, I like that this is different from other pizza shops I've looked at. But I have to also agree, I do not think this gives any useful information to the user. You have the skills present here to make some good information graphics. Photo editing and page layout. But not this. Positive Feature on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 Good header! Has the name of the shop, hours, phone, social networking. The most important information and probably the first thing visitors to the site are going to look for. New Idea on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 Maybe you could use the main body of the page to list or showcase the specials as apposed to delegating a separate page. Summary:
This is good progress for your site. The header is pretty good. All the essential information visitors are going to want is present at the top.
That said, the main body needs some work. It is good that you are thinking outside of the box, no pun intended, for the design of the main body. It looks like you are trying simulate a slice of pizza and three whole pizzas. It's a neat idea, but is not working or looking very well.
Trying sketching out 7-10 ideas on paper. Take the best ideas from your sections and combine them into one design that you craft digitally.

Minor Problem on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 these shapes are distracting. So is the highlight color yellow 2 Colors don't - everything is competing 3 The Disney-esk type only works in the logo Serious Problem on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 the wood doesn't work Positive Feature on my-pizza-shop.jpg 1 Nice logo Summary:
Balkar -
A few things are distracting about this design. I've attached a pre-made template - that is an example of distributing color. I tend to refer to these types of templates to get a head start on solving a particular design problem.
- Strive for simple, clear and enticing pizza photos
- Eliminate all unnecessary visual clutter - like pizza box shapes. Refer to the attached sample for colors
- Eliminate the wood back ground
- Your demographic is too large (14-70) -- this type design treatment may not appeal to the 50 and over crowd. I encourage you to perform some usability testing to determine really works. UsabilityHub.com or Verifyapp,com are both excellent online utilities to accomplish that...

Summary:
I really couldn't understand why the frames are honeycomb style as you are not selling something realted that.
Contact information is really invisibile as it is one of the most important thing that you should focus on. Header background makes the content to focus and the header invisible. You should improve the header background and the typhograph is so thin.
Critical Problem missing the point
The pizza should be the seller here - the images dont make me drool and wish for pizza. Food is sold easily by good, big images. And lose the Disney font, its not cool
