Web design for Swedish Concrete Federation

This is great work. Clean, fresh, superb mesh of photography with the logo and minimalistic colors. I admire how you allowed the photography to tell the story instead of what so often happens: web graphics overpower the imagery. And it's so important with a company like this who's industry is based on the true art of their work.

Here are my only areas of improvement:

1. While the majority of the design is nice and subtle, the Cyan dialog boxes, scroll buttons and search button at the top jump out to me like sore thumbs. Any way that you could tone down the color to a more muted version of what is picked up in their logo?

2. The other red flag for me was the icons on the folder tabs at the bottom of the page. Lovely icons, but I don't think they fit. The main photos you use portray elegance, architectural class and sophistication; but the icons seem to cutesy and social button-y (lol - for made up words). Tweaking them to be more sophisticated and classy seems like it would help perfect the site.

Really well done though, clean design and a fresh feel to it. Good job.

i dont speak your language but design tends to transend that. i think if your header image doesnt match your overall design scheme there are subtle things that you can do to better incorporate it. try adding colors to your header showcase image that brings it more into line with the rest of your site. i think your on to something. really strive for a consistant balance, think overall theme and you got it.

Personally i love this, think its great.

I like design, it would be good if you show latest tweets or social media profiles.

I kinda like the concept, but i think there are way to much different boxes, nothing is really connected to each other. Its hard to concentrate on the important things. I would also try to not use so much different colours.

I love everything about this: clean, stark, textured, fits with the images, gradients and colours are well tied as well. Small design things bug me a bit though:

I presume the header and the footer will stretch to the edge of the window, and so I'm not a fan of the bevel. A bevel line to separate them from the body is fine, but the other 3 sides seem unnecessary.

The drop shadows (especially the 'bloggen' tab) doesn't fade comfortably. In photoshop, there's a Quality Contour on the drop shadow - have a play with that and you'll be able to get a crisper start and a smoother fade.

On the broader side (and this could easily be the language difference) I see a lot of different areas vying for attention and no clear winner. Might be nice to have one thing trump the hierarchy.

I think the navigation bar would be better if it where a little bit smaller.

Loved the design, but I would change the banner controls, putting the arrows with the pagination buttons and add some more space between the header and the banner.

Pretty good idea! looks nice and catchy! :)

This is a really great design and I love it. There are two things that need to be changed, IMO:

• Remove the noise from the header background.
• Make the "Branschen" tab round as the" Bloggen" tab.

Other than this, Great job!

Hi !

This look great, but wehen using blue text not too visible, would be good idea using a darker blue colour.

Like the clean layout... color combination is also nice.

Only one comment on header height.. if you reduce the height is will look better..

Nice design.

The first thing I wanna say: It's a nice and wellthought design. I like your logo and the way you use the typo and icons. But I think there has to be more freedom of elements. Maybe put the switching pictures with its forward and skipbutton in one box, erase the background of the logo and menu and maybe you can make a lined-version of the switchbox, just with dotted lines, completely simple. So you have a "boxed" center of the site and the rest aligns "free" around it. I hope I did some help :)

I like the heavy header

really good

Maybe a good, but not colorful backgorund. Almost everything is in gray

I like design

I love the clean look of this design.

The open space is great and provides some good definition. That said, here are my thoughts:

1. The spacing between the navigation items and the login prompt, as well as the spacing between the navigation and the end of the topmost gradient box seems to be overkill in my opinion.

2. The slideshow area, while very open, has the sense of someone just plunking it down since it does not have any container element. I like how hulu.com solves this problem with their slideshow. Because this is so free floating on this design it looks like it could use some more attention.

3. Rounded corners theme: for some containers you have rounded corners, for some you have square corners, this might be intentional, but I would try to keep a consistent theme.

Overall great design.

I really like this quite a bit. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the way the image doesn't line up with the edges of the design. Otherwise, good work here!
