landscape website and logo

The website is a great start, just needs some developing I think. I think it might be a little too clean with too much white space but that might just be a preference. I am also not sold on the silhouette or green buttons.

The logo looks top notch. My only concern is that it reads "Land Design" and I think it is actually suppose to read "island Design". Just something to think of.

Overall, great start, keep up the good work!

The logo is very nice, the website seems almost too simple. I would change the rounded rectangles as the main navigation. I might put a pop of color behind the logo. I think the website is just too white. Good work though, its a good start.

i'd like ot at least see some imagery on the initial page. i understand her wanting to keep it minimalist, and avoid the purely landscape website, but i still feel like im wanting more. .

the logo mark is nice, and the colors are well chosen. . .

id rework that silhouette though, it doesnt flow nicely like vector should.

all and all a great start!

good

i think the logo is wonderful, but the website needs more green and more life rather than plain informative.. its not engaging at the moment...

I think you built yourself a nice foundation, however I would imagine a Landscape design site to have beautiful plant life and botanicals.

The logo is nice but inappropriate. As stated earlier, put some ecologic elements into the picture!

I think the logo is too big, and I would do something more with the background to create depth. I find it hard to rate this design, because all you see is a logo, one testimonial and some navigation. Would love to see some subpages :)

I also think that the font used in the testimonial is a bit too clynical, and this continues on in the rest of the design, it's a bit "cold".

Also keep in mind that using lightgrey on a white background does not improve readability for people with a visual handicap, make sure to use higher contrasting colors for this.

The purpose of this design is selling your work, isn't it? Maybe you should incorporate a big "hire me" call-to-action element, so that it is obvious how to hire you.

not a fan of the bright green, feel like its too bright and as others have said, it sometimes gets lost. also, I'm wondering what the logo is going to be put on, if its a picture or any sorts it wont show up well unless placed on a dark background, last thing is that the entire design is smooth until you get to the finishing flourish of the S. right when it gets to land design it has a jagged hiccup that I'm not fond of

Hi Brian, I really love how you did this logo.

I think the idea for the site is really clean looking. and I like the idea altogether.

Maybe push "Rolling Stone Magazine" to the left a bit to line up with the T. and bring in the space a bit in the word we've in the "e'v" area.

Do you not want punctuation for sentences/statements under "About" and "Portfolio"?

Maybe for the wood background you could go for an unpolished look...something from outside? rather than a processed inside floor/table look? That way it would feel more hands on outside?

Maybe a nice textures deep/rich soil, fresh cut wood? inside a tree bark? in the closeup of a petal or leaf (for a softer touch?)

I know the client asked for the minimalist approach, but it seems like it could be worked a little better. I really like the logo though, and the transparencies really make it look good on that wood background image. A very large image taking up the whole width (where the silhouette of the woman is) might look good.
