    why isn't the design simple?

    Posted on Mar 10, 2010 at 4:33 PM

    Just wondering why "simple as that" is covered by so many random things.

    The overall layout of the content is appealing, but I don't understand the clutter in the header, both from a purely aesthetic standpoint and as a thematic approach.

    If you simply removed "project management is an attitude" you would improve both designs immensely.

    If I had to choose one, I'd go with the top.

      i'd go with the first option as it is more visually interesting, but get rid of the background words and think about some more spacing in the header area: it's very crowded.

      I really like the colours and font choice!

    • the header appears confusing
    • perhaps show some images of the team that communicates why your 'attitude is magic for projects'
    • pick a shorter tag line
    • middle navigation is nice
    • the 'we are hiring' call-out graphic on the homepage should be a bit smaller, it might be misinterpreted by prospects to mean understaffed. Maybe change it to 'join our team'

    Kill the watermarks

    Posted on Mar 10, 2010 at 1:18 PM

    I really like this. Colours go well together, the typo is neat and it is 'simple as that'. Definitely get rid of the grey bar and text that says 'couple of things about us', it's not helping anything and just crowding the text area. Everything's well divided, and the first one with the orange rectangles and slight rotations breaks lines nicely and borders on playful. I'd go with that one.

    i feel the site lacks approach, you seems not care about the audience you are thinking of.

    nothing

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 7:21 AM

    I like the first one better. the smaller font size of "pm is an attitude" fits the design better. also the two orange labels look better than just the orange text on a black background

    Alignment, alignment, alignment

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 7:41 AM

    I'm not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish with the overlapping elements, misaligned text and busy layout. The colors are great and I could see how this could become a great site, but you have to simplify, organize and format this in a way that allows me to focus on one element at a time. This site just isn't there for me yet, keep working on it.

    I like the overall design, but in both I find it hard to read the text behind the main text, I find it distracting.

    The header seems a little cluttered but other than that it looks great.

    over lay

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 10:05 AM

    I like the overall look. Love the font. The large "Simple as that" at the top feels too bright to have the "project management as an aptitude" overtop of it.

    Like the dialog boxes.

    No watermarks

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 10:41 AM

    I like this! The colors are harmonic. But the head is so confuse with the text overlapping. And I agree with Ashim D'Silva, clear the watermarks, will be more clean.

    To much stickers!

    Posted on Mar 13, 2010 at 7:45 AM

    I like the way you use unbalanced boxes to spice it up but its too much. The eye needs some straight boxes and there are nearly zero! It's nice with the orange ones but the boxes on the left have to move somewhere else...

    Very unique...

    Posted on Mar 13, 2010 at 11:37 PM

    This actually made me read your site because it was unique, I however did not even notice the "What we do", "Our people", and "Our Attitude" at all until my third cycle through the screen shots... The navigation had my eyes a bit drawn to it cause its so unusual I was trying to see what was up...and then the blurbs...With everything going on I simply didn't read those sections...

    Too Much

    Posted on Mar 15, 2010 at 10:25 AM

    The site just seems to be unorganized. Try to make it more clean and spaced out.

    Simple yes - Understandable no

    Posted on Mar 15, 2010 at 11:29 AM

    Yup, stay with the first one without all the layering type. Keep it as simple as you claim. AND emphasize your message. I'm having a hard time actually understanding what these guys do. What kind of projects are they referring to?

    I like the footer idea but I recommend you to work with a grid layout to get a cleaner look.

    nice

    Posted on Mar 15, 2010 at 8:26 PM

    Like very much the massive header and a vibrant color pallet, what make a website very dynamic.

    There are some issues with the readability of content in the header, eg. "project Management is an Attitude", that is what I would work more on.

    there's no magic -- the magic is

    Posted on Mar 15, 2010 at 9:26 PM

    This is pretty nit-picky but I think the tagline needs editing. It's maybe not actually a contradiction, but "There is no magic in wild successful projects / attitude makes all the magic" ... you just said there was no magic, so there should be attitude makes the success instead, and why does the attitude help? I think it would be more effective to have a tagline that sums up what your attitude is and why it's better than most attitudes. I assume it has something to do with simplicity.

    I agree with all the comments that the stuff going on in the header is too much. I can barely read the title of the site and "project management is an attitude".

    Otherwise I think you need to make the copy more specific. it seems very much like hand-waving right now -- it tells me that you are different, not why you are different and more importantly, why you're the best.

    Like the first option best. Think it still needs a lot of work in terms of clutter and the navigation seems very -- random to me. Like "Let's Get Busy Together" -- and the speech bubbles, think they should take more precedence. Get rid of the overlapping text or use it ONLY once and not overlapping a lot. Colours are hot!

    Simplify the header

    Posted on Mar 16, 2010 at 11:07 PM

    I like the feel of this, but it doesn't say "simple as that" with all the screwy typsetting. You might want to ad icons or pictures to boxes on the bottom. Color scheme is nice. Also not feeling the "project management is an attitude" written over the simple as that. I actually think from a marketing standpoint, that is a much stronger statement, and I would put that in big letters.

    First project is fine. Can you try to change "Project Management in an Attitude " position?

    Too much info jumping around

    Posted on Mar 17, 2010 at 9:36 AM

    I get the idea - and this will work with some minor tweaks. It is just too much with the different inclinations of each text box - I get dizzy and feel I'm on board a ship ;-)

    Also - the text "we are hiring" is very eye catching, but I don't think it's the most important message you want to come across

    I like the 1st one better but I think it would look better if the words in the word cloud were rotated at different angles from each other.

    Header & footer

    Posted on Mar 23, 2010 at 7:18 AM

    Nice choice of colors, I like it. I think you should reduce the opacity of "Simple as that" so "Project management" will be more visible. The menu seems a little isolated, try to bond it with another element. The footer is blank.

    i dont think it's simple

    Posted on Apr 18, 2010 at 7:55 PM

    I dont think the design represent the word "simple". Your layout is too busy. Even my eyes don't know which element to pay attention first before exploring whole page.

    Why don't you try minimalist design to keep it "simple"
