I say go for the top menu from 4.jpg, and I'd consider using a partial transparency on the background of the text boxes (like you did with the top two, for example).
I don't see the need to move the logo, but do take off those footsteps, as they don't communicate much. And if you do choose to keep the logo at the bottom, make sure to put the actual name (IT Perspectives SRL) somewhere at the top.
Mult success! Imi pare bine sa vad mai multi romani pe aici. Cum a ajuns zvonu de acest website p'acolo?
I like how your color scheme mimics the Microsoft site. It's instantly recognizable as being associated with Microsoft's brand. A few suggestions.
1) Put the logo at the top. 2) Just my personal preference, but I'm not a fan of transparency on websites. It can be difficult to read. Also, web users don't want to read every line of text on your site, it's up to the designer to follow certain design principles to show the user what is most important to read. The location of the transparent text areas tells me that the text is important but the transparency itself, in my mind, pushes the text to the back of the design and tells me that it's just excess information and that I'll be able to find the information I want much faster by reading the 4 white blocks of text. An exception, I like what you did with the transparency on the far right "Microsoft Certified Partner" 3) I would consider reducing the amount of text in those four white blocks to 2-3 sentences and increasing the size of the title and the text by a bit more. I would consider these call-to-action blocks that lead to more information on other pages. It minimizes reading time while still giving your users enough information to make the decision to continue to browse your site for a solution. Consider using a very-clean icon set to portray what you want to say there.
Just some thoughts, hope this helps!
Hi there!
What do you have now is a draft of a site. there are no eye-catchers to concentrate user's attention. I see only "Microsoft certified", as it has more contrast. Next, I can't imagine how will this site stretch and how will it look on 1920px width monitors. It is very agressive to force users to download a large wallpaper on a background of your site, when 98% of them came to get useful information. Third, put your logo on a top of page and remove "discover-experience-enjoy" slogan. They just do not identify your company.
What should be done: Put some quality and bright icons to make 4 center blocks look more attractive. Make partner icon smaller (it is not right to earn your reputation under someones name) make text under menu shorter – people are not comfortable to read more then 5-6 words per string (you have around 25 of them in a line) try to imagine how this concept will look in a real life on 800×600 and 1920+ monitors. put some copyright info in footer
Thank you for your attention :)
thanks for your comment. The slogan is not my choice but a slogan established long time ago. Also i wasnt considering using a background but two images for top and bottom:P
Looking at the fact that your company is a Microsoft certified partner, matching your design to their website is probably a good thing. But there are two things i would change in this design.
Firstly, put the logo at the top of the site. I probably would get rid of the transparency so it gets a clear approach to the user/visitor.
Secondly, work on the contrasts. Especially the introduction of your team could use a lot more of it. And also make the font size a little bigger an give the lines some space. That should make it more readable.
Overall the design makes a well structured impression.
Logo should be at the top and make it smaller. The text in the transparant boxes at the top seem to wash out. I would change that text to black. Make it more visable especially if it is important information. The navigation on the bottom seems to get lost in the overall picture. If this is what you are wanting then it works great. But I would change the white text to black in this area as well.
For me the site is is too copy intensive. On average you have about 3-5 seconds to get and keep someones attention. Have some graphics that will help create interest break up copy and and give it a better flow.
I like the nav in 4.jpg That background image helps anchor the page. Overall a good start.
To be honest this looks like a typical Microsoft site, there's not that much to it.
I'll add some notes, that way I might be able to explain myself better.
I think overall you can design, but you really need to go back and research what your competitors around the world are doing, because if I was referred to you, I would not go any further than the homepage, because your site doesn't inspire me...
Sorry, I do not mean to offend, just my opinion...

why is this here? is this an image? If so, google will probably end up ignoring the site, because it will see blank...
I don't understand why there is floating text above the main nav...
Is fairly simple and doesn't really catch my eye, you want visitors to explore the site, not ignore it. Also there seems to be no 'on' state or 'hover' state... suggest also making fully across the screen and bigger
I assume that this will be on all pages? If so, I would say remove it, so it only shows up on about us page...
In all honesty, these need to have images with 3 lines of text at the most and then a read more...
to me this looks really odd... I would move the content boxes to the middle of the page
Move this and the contact info to the footer
This should be at the top of the page and smaller
make the footer more prominent, this just looks like an after thought
wow... this is fairly un-imaginative, looks like XP wallpaper, try something different, just because you are a Microsoft partner doesn't mean you need to reflect their OS...

with a different navigation
I like version 4.jpg best.
If usability is your primary objective, have you thought about accessibility? The small text size combined with the white color concern me.
I would suggest bumping up the point size and increasing the leading for all the copy on this page. The white copy at the top of the page would stand out more if the blue background was darker. Also, the white footer links seem to disappear in the background image. I don't think you need the footer links if they are just a repeat of the top navigation.
Consider moving the contact information (address, phone, etc) to the footer area, and using the extra space to air out the middle. (You'll need more room if you increase the point size and leading.)
You should include some visuals in the white copy boxes- icons would help break up the text-heavy middle.
Hope this helps!
Hi Quitrk,
You have made a decent start but the design looks completely unfinished (with regards to the 1st 2 designs). Here is what I think ou need to change:
I think that you should really think about exactly what you want your site to achieve and concentrate on bringing these points to the forefront to the design. Plan, plan, plan.....
Sorry if this sounds harsh but I am really trying to be helpful as I can see potential in the basics of what you have done so far. 3rd design is the best by far!!!!!!!
Good luck!!!!
