This looks really good, not much to change. But I suppose two things: Adding a "Careers" link to the main menu (so the potential drivers are sure to find it) and filling the date field on the homepage with color - it looks a little like a broken link now.

Miro commented:I think you have thought of the site structure very well. I would do it so, that I would keep the "drivers" on the top menu (to serve the already employed drivers and those interested in becoming ones). In addition to that I would add the "careers" to the top menu to give high visibility to all job offerings this company has.
Does it make sense (if it doesn´t, it is probably because of my bad english, sorry...)?

I strongly agree with Miro on the two areas mentioned. The only other thing that I would suggest is making the "site Map" area have a little bit more contrast. It is a little hard to read. Maybe lighten up the blue used in the text. Overall I like what you have going, just a few minor things to clean up.

For sure I agree with the blue links on the sitemap. I have noticed on some PC monitors it is not very easy to read

Octavio, this is a very solid design. Great job.
In addition to Miro's and Joe's comments, which I agree with, let me nitpick a couple things. The login button is a bit difficult to see, much like Joe's comment regarding the contrast in the footer. Maybe consider making that button a little more prominent?
As for the hierarchy on the splash page, it seems a little out of place to have the header, some deep "buckets" for navigation and then have the reader get to small text that says "Welcome to Integrated Transportation." I'm not sure how important that section is to the client, but I wonder if it's possible to get that either in the header, or closer to the top without disrupting the great design you have.
Once again, well done.

I see your point.... hummm.......almost feels like an after thought. thanks for the feedback.

From a viewer's perspective, the only thing i would change is the headings (specialy "we're focused on your success"). Try changing that if it would do any better.

As for trucking-company web sites - This is one of the best I've seen.
All the content lines up very nicely, except for one area, which is the contact information portion of the page. Perhaps divide the head phone number more-so from the rest of the info?
-
Octavio Corral commented:
is the right alignment fine on the bottom contact info? or does that throw you off as well?
-
Michael Minter commented:Though it doesn't seem to line up perfectly with the rest of the content, the vertical-margin at the bottom of the page is okay, if only because you don't have the span accessible like at the top.
-

Michael Minter commented:
I only mean that if you had that 100% blue backdrop (like top) then you could have your footer content spread evenly with the vertical alignment of the rest of the page.
The space looks great as is though.

What you have here is a pretty simple and solid design. It's clean and you give all the elements room to breath with a lot of whitespace. To me, it's too much but I think it works because the content doesn't seem so "contained". Hope that makes sense!
Ooh, good work incorporating that pattern in the header.
-
clean and simple design, user friendly too.. is it possible to reduce the phone number size a 2points.

The only thing I am not crazy about is the brown background. I would think about using a gray or something more neutral. Good work on this though, the rest work well.
-
Octavio Corral commented:
brown? ......err is your monitor calibrated? I'm not sure what everyone else sees.... but its supposed to be a dark orange.....haha yes "dark orange" is prob closer to brown but either way.... im not trying to go for brown.
I'm worried about lightning the BG too much.
-
Nate Hamilton commented:HAHA, no it is more of a rust color. You know your on a designer site when someone corrects you on the shad of brown :). Your call, to me it's just a bit much.
-
Octavio Corral commented:
haha. i feel like a gray would dull out the website. i really want to bg to have an orange feel so that it goes with the company colors

Add a subtle gradient. Spice it up a little.
-
It looks like a Joomla template...?

Octavio Corral commented:
care to elaborate or be more constructive/detailed in your critique?

I think u can do something better on the top and I the logo looks too old for the website,I know sometime clients don't want to change it but u can try ;)
-
Octavio Corral commented:
on the top where?
and ya the logo is pretty bleh. I've already discussed it with them but they cant change it cause its everywhere already
-

Octavio Corral commented:
is the texture not pronounced enough? not sure what you're thinking
-
-
I would try to give the footer a different color and create more contrast on the design. But make sure not to make it stand out more than the main content.
-
Do you sell trucked? I think the headline could be more specific to the type of success you're delivering.
Why not allow people to login immediately on the homepage, similar to how UPS or Fedex allows for it?
-
i dont like colors..
I understand this is a tough call on your end, but can you try and elaborate as to why "Careers" would make more sense than "Drivers."
When creating the sitemap, I had to make some decisions in terms of Company Employment vs Truck Drivers. In the end, I decided the truck driving division should be completely separate from the on-site employee section. (for many reasons).
If I change the top section to "Careers." Keep in mind this will now include the new audience of "on-site employees" and will in essence, completely re-define the entire section.
Your thoughts?
