    I like the design, it's very dynamic

    I like that the design really pulls you in, you immediately know what it is for.

    Awesomeness!

    I would try removing the gray background from the white boxes at the bottom, or make it transparent like the above boxes. The water background should be shown behind the boxes.

    too crowded

    Posted on Oct 16, 2009 at 5:28 AM

    I like that it's dynamic, but looks a little bit too crowded at the top. The textured logo and that banner to the right are quite "ornamental", and they need more space around them, in my opinion. And they hide a lot of photo.

    big logo

    Posted on Oct 16, 2009 at 6:45 AM

    I would've gone with the big logo-version. I think it's more suitable for this kind of site, extreme = bigger, faster, stronger etc.

    I would also done something with the gray background, perhaps transparent would look good.

    keep up the good work..c",

    Good changes

    Posted on Oct 16, 2009 at 8:09 AM

    Site looks good, the bigger logo was a great chose. Alignment and typography are looking a lot better as well. The square text boxes are getting overdone. I would not use the boxes in the content area. As I said before, I would also theme the calendar to the site.

      Yea a lot needs to be done with the calendar area for sure. Will work on those boxes. Think about doing more with large buttons.

    Calendar size/Upcoming events position

    Posted on Oct 16, 2009 at 4:41 PM

    Hi

    I love the new About section with direct access to functions. However, I think you need to boost event section. Maybe you should reduce the cal to po give more space ot the Event title and content.

    Bye !

      You're right. Event section needs a lot of attention right now.

    Simplify the top

    Posted on Oct 19, 2009 at 9:39 AM

    I am loving the design so far.

    My two cents. I would move the testimony somewhere else and clarify the we'll keep you posted section. Is it free to sign up? if so say it. Check out netflix homepage for a good example. Very clear on what it is and what to do next, also the more info is there for the people who need it.

    Is become a member different than keep me in the loop? It should be one funnel your leading them through initially.

    I am excited for you on this. It is coming together nicely!

      Thanks! I'm thinking about bringing back the buttons from the first Mock up http://www.conceptfeedback.com/concept/1123/extreme-sports-calendar-website-redesign-3/ and moving testimonials to the About section. Then moving the buttons currently there to more specific areas related tot hat content. You're amazing. Can't believe I have "known" you for years now!!!! Since we were just getting started. !!!

      I like the big red button and the form you have the the first one. The about would be a good spot for the testimony too.. Later you can always use google website optimizer with some of those elements and see which variations convert best.

      Glad our paths crossed years ago and we are still in touch. Who knows maybe one day we will work on something together.

    Like the general Idea...

    Posted on Oct 21, 2009 at 8:08 AM

    But I would loose the gray background and give a transparency to the calendar block and maybe a light blue for the two blocks in the header. But I really like the overall impression of the site, nice one ;)

      Thanks! I am moving the two boxes to more specific areas. I agree the background needs to be lightened up for sure.

    bi9gger logo looks good but what are you selling here? surfboards? how show me a picture of the calendar of events so I can see what your site is. Maybe a tagline.

    ZEX SPORTS (Most comprehensive online sports calendar)

    don't make me have to figure out what you;re selling. The key art is not supporting the value proposition but it looks good. but looks don't always convince people to understand what you're selling.

    Change all that wacky text stuff on the right and just tell me what the heck the product or service is.

    THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE CALENDAR OF QUALITY ACTION SPORT EVENTS.

    You need a SEARCH BOX at the top to think of what is the 1st thing something is trying to do when they come to your site and they figure out what you offer? SEARCH FOR EVENTS right.

    think of EVENTBRITE.COM and structure the interface to let people do what the site is for .. SEARCH FOR WHAT? SPORT EVENTS.. right?

    you need some interface work still I think. the designs are nice but you need a user experience designer to help you I think.,

      Thanks! Great feedback. Good suggestion about eventbrite too. We have a tag line in the header. it must get lost. I'll work on that. Also we'll add another search box for sure. User experience is key so we are constantly tweaking until we get there. About to upload a new mock up WITHOUT these awesome suggested changes. I'll start working on those now. But we are definitely playing with where call to actions are placed as you can see in this new mock up..

    The white box with the events.

    Posted on Oct 15, 2009 at 6:27 PM

    I like this site. I think the white event box needs a different color. It looks out of place. I like how you have a lot of information on the pages. Would definitely go back to the site.
