Overall, I love the design. It is well laid out, content is mapped smoothly, and whitespace looks nice. I really love the color scheme... until the bottom of the index page, where you seem to lose sight of it. My biggest concern is that I don't like the color of the footer. It's very dark, and seems out of place with the rest of the colors. Still on the index page, your "Top Locations..." and "New people..." sections below the map don't have the blue header. Although I can understand why you chose to do this, I feel that you're losing a lot of attention to those two areas. Having the blue header really draws attention like "hey, there's something new over here!"
My second concern is how some lines break. The overall typography is fairly well done, but if you were to justify certain areas, say the features on the "Tour" page, I feel you would really neaten it up a lot. My biggest concern with this, however, is how under the "Skobbler iPhone App Tour" header, the word 'navigation' is broken onto two lines. The user has to read from one of of his/her screen all the way to the other side of the screen to finish the word. A computer screen is not a book; this could create some readability flaws.
Overall, this is a really well put together site, great job!
Hey! awesome site! I really like the color scheme. I think you should keep it more consistant in the footer area.. It goes from facinating gradients and the nice blue and yellows, then it gets boring down at the bottom..
Overall I really love it!
I am not usually a fan of the "modular" design concept (boxing different content). I usually prefer a more fluid design that doesn't require such heavy use of borders and shadows.
With that said, this design and its color scheme works for me. Just a few things I would alter
lessen the intensity for the shadows so the contrast between the border graphics and the background isn't as overpowering
try and simplify the boxes to use less
Differentiate the boxes and borders slightly to add weight to importance and to add some visual interest within the template design itself
I think you are getting to something here and with a few refinements you will have a very good looking web site.
Over all contrast is not coming out good. A basic usability of DARK to LIGHT with respect to the canvas is missing and even in the inside panels which makes it difficult to focus on different sections individually.
Sorry for a late reply. What I meant was: Make sure that there is enough contrast between text and background. Dark text with a light background works very well.
np, I started the implementation, and I will post some modifications I did based on everybody's comments as soon as I have the time, I did increased the contrast a bit, it looks much better, thanks.
Your layouts for the most part are good. I would balance out my colors by lightening my footer and darkening the top block ( and maybe put a gradient on the top block of darker to lighter.) Your footer text seems to be un-proportioned left-to-right. It may be correct...but it looks wrong to the eye. Balance out the white space to the eye. And last thing...the English translation needs to be edited on pages 2 and 3. I love your page 3 set-up. Good job!!!
Very nice colors.. overall fantastic piece of work
I really dont have any probelm with this website... looks good
I guess there's nothing wrong with the choice of typography, but perhaps you could work on the info text behind the title. It looks uninteresting and bland. Try to make it bigger.
Other thing this page looks a little too "extensive, perhaps you could make it lighter and shorter.
I love the logo, btw!

thanks for the comment, the footer is one think that I didn't change, it's the same footer from the actual design that you can find online. The line breaks is not an issue now because this is the photoshop version and the text is just added there I didn't loos time to play with that because I don't know yet what text will have there and when it will come to adding the text in code this will not happen.
I will give a try with justifying some areas.
