Search Surf-Skate-Snow-Moto Sports Events Calendar Website Redesign

the design is nice but you are emphasizing the wrong elements in design for marketing.

bring the VALUE PROP out front and supress that attitude text about we are obsessed, blah blah.

you are going the right direction with the attitude of the site given your audience. But you need to organize elements a little better to bring out what's important-- WHAT IS THIS THING? that is most important - NOT ATTITUDE TEXT. We don't have context with your tagline because of where its placed. nav is not clear cause its under tagline.

try to reorganize these elements a bit

try putting logo up in left hand side with tagline under it. Then put that attitude banner under that.

the other problem is that tagline about respected brands using zexsports to grow their brand.

Your primary audience is who? sports enthusiasts looking for sports events right?

you would delete that stuff about brands using it to grow their brand. Advertisers don't care about that. They automatically would understand if you have a following that they would want to contact you for sponsor stuff or advertising. You don't need to have that in there. it dirties up the page with text as well. Clean that up and make it clear who this site is for.

how will I know its for me? who is me?

its getting there.

remember people here comment on design- WHICH LOOKS COOL. They do not understand landing page conversion and the objective of the page. Your objective with this page is for signups so you need to make it real clear in 3sec where am I, what can I do here, why should I stay.

its getting there.

make navigation quicker to grasp where its at.

your challenge is to have 1 entry for return users to use the calendar and the other for new users to use the system and know what it is.

I wouldn't have to search click here. I would have the actual box right there to search.

Wow, I love it! Tagline is clear and so is everything else. Oh, now I noticed one little thing, move the submit button a bit to the right so that it aligns with the name & email -boxes. Good work!!

I would add some of the big brands that are linked with the site, it gives it alot more credability.

I was going to say i needs an image on the content area, but the video will be that, lol.

You have 'follow us' on the footer, but then you have all the logo's on the bottom right, i would either move that text over to the logos or get rid of it all together.

I love the use of the large text on the banner, although where is the company logo? I didn't know it was Zex Sports until i looked at the URL.

Its a nice design though.

also align ur submit btn as Miro said with the input boxes from left!! rest is nice..!!

i really love the type but the navigation is lost, i feel its kinda tucked away between too much text.

One thing...the "search by" thing...is that going to be a drop-down? Or is that just informational?

I don't know if that'll be clickable, but I was a tad confused about that one part...but that's really it.

I think the addition of the banner explaining what the site is...great addition.

I know this is just a mockup, but didn't you have information "buckets" at the bottom of the page in a previous version? Quick links to headlines etc.

I think that would still work here if you wanted to bring those back.

You can add some of your partner's logos who depends on ZexSports to grow their brands !

I like it, it's consistent and fits together. The banner which says "we are obsessed/love sports" is the strongest thing here, because it's funny, bold and well designed. But I understand that the thing below (a little bit wider than the rest) is the calendar link where people should click to check it out? So I would make it maybe even more prominent, but with less text. For example, give it a red background and leave only "1st Comprehensive calendar of Action Sport Events", which would be aligned to the arrows. And nothing else in this banner. You can write descriptions in the box next to the video, or even below it. I would remove any other unnecessary texts/buttons/links. Simple things work better :)

I think you keep trying to take this in way too many different directions. I liked this two version back but feel like you have taking this in a completely different direction. I think you are leaning towards a design that is far to busy. I wouldn't use a photo background here, it needs to be extremely simple and subtle.

First the top seems too muted and the bottom seems to loud, I think if you combine elements of the two and work in some of the blue you've got a winner. I like the two different background images on each side in the bottom image also.

The main site navigation needs some clarification like the bottom image to make it stand out, and I'm not too sure about the black horizontal bars. Try integrating the links and login into the rest of the page maybe?

Aside from that, the changes you made are awesome.

Hi

The second purpose is the best, everything is perfect : at the first sight you know what this site is all about. I'll put the top left links inside rounded corner frames and I'll just align them with the login zone items.

It's my opinion, except that, bravo :-)

i like it, but it feels like it is really busy, you dont know where to look, big buttons click here. sign up, submit, guts, grit..it is all calling for an action, yet its not all for it...

i would think what you want user to do the most and focus on it.

In the box you want user to sign up for newsletter, so SIGN UP is big, submit is also big.why?

good luck

A busy design can be okay, as long as there is a coherent flow of the information on the page.

On the second design, I would leave the utility bar where it is, but then look to possibly re-arrange some of the information:

1) Logo + Browse Calendar + 1st Comphrensive… but lose Everyday… Here's why: the text in 1st Comprehensive is so complimentary, and is important to your brand, its also going to be the first action someone takes, outside of submitting either an event or photos. The "everyday" text goes better with the section below.

2) We Are… + Everyday the worlds… and Company Logos Why: The sport brands you are working with tie directly back to your manifesto and the service you are going to bring them.

3) Video + Quote + signup Why: They are supporters or action items based on the information above, and should be arranged together.
