    I like the color scheme

    It gives me the idea of a serious and professional company, very clean and simple design.

    Good design on the home page, as per the inner pages I think you could try to clasify them in a different way so you get more text balanced pages.

    About the footer thing, well you can put the contact information, social media and networks (if they have), website feedback, copyright/terms of use and conditions, and some credits to you for designing it.

    Hope my comments help you.

    Keep up the good work! (Y)

      Hi Gabriel, thanks for your feedback. I will think about the footer. But there is no social media stuff, they don`t have a website yet nor they have some network experience.

    The 5 Locations, which are they?

    Posted on Feb 24, 2010 at 1:18 AM

    Very clean and well executed (inside page especially).

    • I really like the history block bottom right
    • Think a small map of where these buses are located (the 5 places) would be nice. Outline of Germany/Austria, wherever this is.. noting complex.
    • More prominent call to action for having a client call, make it clear that the call is obviously non-binding and they'd be happy to hear from the client :)

    Good luck with this, the client should be happy!

      Hi Noel,

      thank you! The ideo of a map is very good. I don`t think it will fit on the home screen, but on the left of the content in the inner pages that makes sense. Also a quick form/phone number for requesting a quote should be there.

      Thanks again!

    Good start

    I like where this is headed but have a few thoughts:

    1. Your logo needs reworking. I'm not exactly sure if those image below the logo are part of it, but it's just not working.
    2. You have a bit too much overlapping. I would consider making the navigation a separate element instead of weaving it over the design, make sense?
    3. I don't think I like the yellow 3d heading. It doesn't flow very well, breaks things up quite a bit.
    4. For the most part your content areas look good but could be cut down in the amount that you have.

      Ni Nate, thanks (again!). 1. The logo is atm seperated in two pieces. The text with the two squares and the two icons. I "zoomed" the icons because they represent their two main businesses. As I said, they have nearly nothing, the only thing is that logo plus the two icons. If I reduce the size of the icons, I would also have to reduce the text and that would be too small. I will play around with this again. 2. I don`t think so. This is the element which holds the thing together, I would like to keep it for know. 3. Ack. In the first concept the background was grey, not blue and the header was the only color I could introduce there. But now it is too much, I agree. 4. Well, as I said the content differs a lot. I made an example with a lot of text, there are also parts where it fits better due less text. The long parts could be perhaps cut down, but that is not my own decision, we will see.

      Thanks!

    navigation

    Posted on Feb 24, 2010 at 11:54 AM

    You're headed in the right direction. The layout is good and the colors are decent. I also like the shadow and border treatment on the slideshow of images at the top. However, I'd move the navigation out of the picture as it's own element. It's current placement sort of hides the links. The blue and white text containers are good, but as Nate mentioned, try to cut down on the amount of text provided on the home page. Also, include some call to action buttons to lead the user to another page.

    If the history is a vital part of the credibility for the company, maybe you can consider incorporating the text as bullets in a footer.

    I also think the logo could use some work. The two images look like different concepts.

    I like the subtle details you put on the site and the header is great - clean and simple.

    Navigation is clear and easily distinguished between priorities.

    It could look more attractive unless you're heading for a more conservative look.
