    You didnt mantioned prurpose...

    I couldn't vote for Purpose and Engagement so we could vote precise...

    Grids are OK. I like blue and yellow combination in menu. But the image in header and gray in the main body make template to much bleak.

    Maybe you should color your background of header image with #e0e0e0 and give some dark-blue borders to menus.

    Yellow background for readmore has too much contrast.

      Hi, Miljan! Thanks for the review, I updated the image to show how the blue area would be used, there is a timetable now.

    Some ideas

    Posted on Mar 28, 2010 at 11:26 AM

    Hello Miro,

    This layout looks quite ok, but text information is too much. You said you want to keep it clean but this whole amount of text makes the design quite noisy actually. Is there any reason why you didn't include some picts/icons? Maybe a

    The way you structured the layout is good for hierarchy of content, that's ok.

    I'm not really sure about the colours, maybe a more navy-blue and a less golden yellow, I think adding a little bit of red to it will do the job. Gray is fine.

    Please check attachment, that one looks quite messy too but the pictures add much more interest.

    After seeing many of your previous work, I am sure you can do it much much better.

    I can't wait to see your next input.

      Hello Ezequiel!

      That is true, there really is a mass of text. In the draft that the client gave me there was even more and that is why I came up with an idea of putting some of it in the top image area. And yes, there will be pics and i think icons too but they are missing in this first version.

      I´ll continue on this tomorrow, you´ll see an improved version later - thanks for the supportive comments :-)

      Hell Yeah!

      That's a lot of improvent. I like how you added more contrast, also like the lower part much better. No sure about the blue gradient between blue and gray area, I think I liked plain like original post.

      Besides that it looks so much better and clean as you intended at first. Unfortunately, unless you place it in a new concept page I can't modify my rates.

      Well done!

      Hi, Kirill. I try to reduce the amount of info, and now that I got the brief on my hands again, also the client wants light look. I have to change that.

    Not very engaging

    Posted on Mar 29, 2010 at 8:31 AM

    Unfortunately I think this is suffering a great deal from a lack of engagement. I like the header on the second concept more and the content area of the first on the most. However, I think both are pretty bland and need some excitement. I would cut the amount of content, add some engaging pics and make the layout more interesting. Keep working on this concept.

    Does not feel like a timetable

    Posted on Mar 29, 2010 at 5:00 PM

    Miro, It's difficult to say anything about usability with lorem ipsum everywhere :) but it does not feel like a timetable to me. It looks more like a company annual report in a brochure.

    For time tables practicality and readability is a must - excessive design is a problem. IMHO it should be clean. I would suggest a separate header and a separate timetable.

      Hi, Michael! Yes you are right, that was just a quick and dirty timetable for the layout. Please check out the new version of the front page.
