PupStyle.com redesign

Hi Jon,

This design is coming along nicely - definitely a step in the right direction so far :)

For the frontpage, I'd suggest increasing the design for the blog teasers. Currently, the large thumbs seem to be competing with the sidebar and the header text is almost as big as the text itself. It might be a good idea to include the date / author.

Here's an example of a blog layout that might work better for this design: http://www.briangardner.com/ -larger text for headers -smaller thumbs -smaller text -include a "read more" -include author and date -add a spacer between each post

This is just a suggestion - a bolder layout could work too.

A sans-serif font might also work better with your content (a little more casual than Palatino Linotype or Georgia).

I'm looking forward to your next version!

Cheers, Serina

Good images used, i only feel that the whole site is full of boxes. My eyes didn't know which to focus. Perhaps due to different sizes,Can you make the left three boxes consistent in sizes.

The sign up box could be of different visual. a plain color would be a cool one. Else you can try a flat bgcolor and on top of the email text box a pup or a kitty's peeping on top of the box would definately draw attention. I hope you got my idea.

cheers :)

I would recommend you can further reduce the boxes size to much smaller thumbnails.

Or you can bring the menu betweent the small box and big box.

The grass background for the email sign up looks pretty odd.. You can give a gree gradient to it. I would look nice.

other than that.. I would say it has come up very well.. it will need few more major revisions before it is ready. But you are on the right track!

all the best :)

It doesn't look like you have done too much on this but what you have done I like. Here are a few comments:

1. The header still needs work.
2. Change the purple headings back to black
