Your site is super clean and to the point which is AWESOME. Just make sure to display buttons where you are on Facebook, Twitter etc. Plus have a email sign up form in your upper right for a newsletter.
The site is very clear. Shoot, donate, give hope. Great job with that. I'd recommend keeping the arrow at the end of Donate to Cause at the bottom. Gives the sense of moving forward.
Other than that I'd play with the shadows a bit more on the top box. Too dark on the right with the corners cut off, it just doesn't blend too well.
Good feedback, I'll work with the shadows on the top box. I'm torn on putting the arrow on donate button but I'll give it a try. Thanks again for the feedback, very helpful!
Very professional, you know what you are doing. Only thing is, should the box "Give hope" be other color than gray. Hope is not gray, hope is colorful?
Great suggestion Gray, never even thought about that. I think it works much better the other way. You can see my changes above!
I like it better now too. Maybe you should change the colors of arrows at the bottom too - to be consistent.
I like this concept very much. I agree with the previous 2 commenters. So I won't harp on it. Lol
Great work! Keep it up.
I really like it! I think you nailed it with the design. One think though; the gray text on the gray box (everything under filling the details) is not very visible, I would make it darker, unless that was your intention.
BTW how do I change my profile picture?
You can change your profile picture by first going to your profile page and then moving your mouse pointer over your picture ("Change" link appears).
hmm tried that but takes me to gravatar website. Am I missing something?
You have to use the gravatar-system to have a profile picture. Just register there and use it.
I like the bg the colors very well designed
Great design, sleek presentation, I wouldn't change a thing!
Good design and very clear call to action. Although, the grey part seems to have less "value" than the others. I think the second version does it better.
Thanks for the review Bert. I actually wanted less value on the details section. Most everything they need to know is provided in the header and the call to action part below the header.Thank again!
I really like the layout of this site. You've made it very easy for the average person to find out what this site is about. Great job!
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Good to hear I am on the right track!
My only issue is contrast...especially in the text. That blends a little TOO closely, and I'm thinking, too, of elderly people who might want to donate (especially being that they have the most disposable income as a rule).
Make it easier to read.
I'd also experiment with the Give Hope part pointing to a child? Might drive the point home even further?
Hi Nice concept, nice colors and readability. I agree with the cutted arrow, and the social links.
Bravo !
I wonder, a bit more line space would show clearer.
Nice site.
Use the dark blue from the ornament on the flag of India for something. You used green and orange....
The repeated buttons on the bottom should be the same colours as the ones on top.
I really like number two and I also agree with the the social links suggestions.
It's perfect, i dont feel ther is a need to change anything. Great job and for good cause
I'm not in love with the design, but it's effective. If I were to offer criticism, I think you should reduce the amount of content. People have too much to read, make their lives easier.
Great design and outlines what the site is about. Shoot Hoops - Donations - Give Hope. Colors choice are great alogn with the layout. The top is such a nice design that it makes the gray box with gray text seem not important.
The header is very nice how the transparent bar goes behind the childs image.
I think it is rather straight to the point in a fun way. The question is are the Shoot, Donate and Give hope meant to be click able buttons. if they are then create small click able buttons at the below the text area in each arrow. All the best
hope should be a brighter color, since hope is a bright, positive concept
Hi Nate,
I think the picture you have chosen for this is lovely.
Look out, for under the title section "shoot hoops" I think you forgot to add an s to the word student.
I agree with one of the above about that the text here is hard to read. Maybe if you open up the kerning a bit it will read better. Or maybe a serif typeface would make all the difference.
Nice colors.
Everything is good, but why not use 2 shaded background. You can use the red color combination with grey in background.
Great design, hierarchy, and photo. My only gripe is that I don't know what to do next. At a glance, nothing looks clickable. No buttons, no phone number, no "here's what to do".
The two buttons at the bottom are the call to action, "Shoot Hoops" and "Donate to cause". Thanks for the feedback though!
Nate - once again I love your work, great job. Everyone above really covered the design.
great work!
Oh wow, I didn't even see those down the bottom. If that is the main call-to-action, could they be higher and/or more prominent?
Site is straightforward and looks great
diggin it! LOVE LOVE LOVE the simplicity: shoot, donate, give hope! just looking @ menu titles though, i'm not sure what "give hope" means
Good work!!
But body part is still need to enhance. Rest it is a good effort.
The grey text on grey background makes it a little dull and difficult to read. The text is also a little heavy, maybe add a call out box or quote to break it up a bit? Otherwise good job!
First, I would like to make clear that I'm not a professional designer. Far from that, I'm just a beginer.
I found the design amazing. The colour scheme was really well chosen, but one thing that I would change is the background colour of the "Filling in the details" text, making it lighter.
But everything is really great, amazing job!
Looks good. I'd change the tagline color to stand out a little more, but it isn't really bad as is.
Also, navigation might be a little unclear, but as long as there are adequate rollover indicators to indicate where people can go, it should be good.
Like the way you were able to accomplish simplicity while still being engaging and edgy. Nice!
Oh, and I'd consider making the "donate" call to action more visual prominent in the layout - maybe change it's position to be higher, or else add a second instance at the top of the page.
Hah - sorry, me dum dum. Didn't realize you do have that already.
hey man over all i think this site looks awesome. I might change the button arrows to be a bit more attractive. also i think the content could be split into 1 bigger column and 1 smaller column to the right.
Good suggestions Espree, I will have to look into setting those up. Thanks again!
