    menu

    I´d say lose the images on the menu, they make the site look a little 90´s.

    I love everything except the nav

    The navigation looks like a different site. The navigation looks a little cheap and little kiddish. i would try and maybe simplify the navigation and put it maybe on the yellowish background color that you have in your content area. Besides that, the rest of your design looks GREAT, good job!

      Thanks for the feedback! I posted a new picture of what I had for the old navigation. Is this any better? I may design a new nav with no pictures at all to see how that works too.

      Yeah, it's the pictures that are bothering me...

      I changed the navigation, and it is updated on the first picture. I think this looks cleaner and now there is less going on. Thoughts? :-) Thanks for the feedback!

      It's a good direction but still looks a tad unfinished to me. Play around with maybe the nav bar wrapping around the sides of the design or have the nav bar behind the page with it showing through a separation in the page. Hope that all makes sense, but your on the right track here. Just refine it some...

    Very Clean and gets right to the point... and go with the flat menu it looks better :)

      The style is looking a little backward. Header and nav needs more importance, for a wine related site the background needs to be a little more attractive, otherwise good work, cheers

    background and font

    Posted on Nov 20, 2009 at 4:25 AM

    I somehow don't like the background. Either it should be subtle enough to not be noticed, or if noticeable, it should be good/clean. The background design is not too nice, in my opinion!

    And.. maybe you can change the fonts for the headings to make it a little more readable?

    Just a tad of unbalnce toward the right of page

    Posted on Nov 19, 2009 at 8:34 PM

    I really like the colors and the straight to the point layout . It feels a little retro without being cliche and I think it has a nice "up" feel that compliments the product.

    I like your navigation and although a tad wordy at first glance I think your audience may appreciate it .

    I don't belief there is any such thing as to simple unless we are talking plain and your site is certainly not plain.

      Thanks so much! That really helps. I will work on balancing out the pages better.
