Concept Description
- Objective:
- Strong branding, and effective content
- Target Market:
- Construction industry clients
- Categories:
- web design, website, web concept
We've pretty much gone back to the drawing board since the last concept.
This is still an early concept and is by no means finished. I'm aware it needs some imagery and still needs a bit of 'personal' touch, as well as making their industry more apparent. Nor is the colour scheme as lively as I'd like it to be.
Would love to hear your thoughts, better or worse than the previous version?

This design makes my eyes hurt. There are too many curves and straight lines. It makes me feel like I'm hyped up on some sort of drug. I would stick with doing straight lines. The rest of the design is pretty good. The shadows are a bit much so I would back them up a bit as well. Good start, just make it less trippy.

Jorne Wevers commented:I like the curves but its to much! I think when you make the header and "request a phone call"just a normal box it looks much better. You still have the "designey" then but on a good way :)
And i think you need a good look @ the content and the line the thinks out. (use a grid)

I feel as if the navigation bar has the top hierarchy. 3D pop is good, but more empasis needs to be drawn towards the logo and then to the tagline

Hi Ben, I think this is better than the last version. I feel the cube is fitting to m3. I think it would be great to have the little cube spin and when it spins it reads the heading and presents new type. It saves space is fitting and keeps it clean.
If this site had nothing to due with "cubed" then it would be a "show off." yet, it has to due with cube so why not have some fun integrating it in their site. Right?
I like it.

This is a definite improvement over its predecessor.
I'm really enjoying he inspiration gathered from the lighting-blend used in the footer.
The only thing I would change, or at least consider changing, is the menu. Maybe use an actual photograph of a server tower or iPhone(WT!?); Or just bump up the realism in the menu's framework with gradients (I'd like to see a stainless steel brush stroke used?).
Good work

As Nate already mentioned, to many curved lines. Looks more like a personal portfolio site than construction industry. Straighten the curves, rotate the menu-cube so that it faces the content of the page and make it smaller and this will look a lot better. (I´m not saying that it looks bad now, it just needs to be redone a little..)

Agree - it needs to look a lot more 'construction industry' ish.
Just clarify, you mean flip the menu cube 180? Sounds like a good call.
Thanks yet again!

Miro commented:Yes, I mean that either rotate the cube 180 degrees or flip it horizontally. So that it "looks at the page content".

It looks too much like "Look what I can do with 3d objects and shadows". Depth is good in a website, but too much can be overwhelming and come off as cheesy.
I do like the color scheme and use of lighter gradients as well as your white space. Mix this with your earlier layout and see what you come up with.
-
I would remove the 3d elements or make them pointed directly at the person looking at the screen. to put it bluntly, it looks like the website has been warped at some parts.
You should also know that your logo will not be readable at low sizes.
-
too much of 3d aswell.. :)

Ben Walker commented:
I like having the contact details clearly shown at the end of content.
However, people tend to look for the phone no in the top right. Do you think both is overkill?

They shapes just seem off to me. Its like things don't line up right.

Hey,
Yes this looks much better then the old concept, not finish as you said but much better direction.
MEster.

Glad it gave you a bit of a buzz, haha!
I liked that the curves gave it a bit of depth, rather than boring default boxes - but point taken I'll try it straight.
Thanks v. much :)
