Web site design for concret company

option 2 is better but i believe you need another color on the page and/or use a bit saturated shade of red- this one is really overpowering.

The headlines on the left are way too big, reduce the size so that the one on the right can stand out

The first thing that attracted my attention (and thats an important aspect) was the navigation and the ribbon effect. Its fantastically pulled off. I like that ribbon, its very well done, so congratulations on that. (also with the other ribbons on the page)

One issue I have is the fonts, they are, well, pretty boring. Why not try mixing up the layout, adding some more content areas and playing around with different fonts. Have a look here and here for some good ideas on how to use serif and sans-serif fonts together. It can really make a difference.

Also, the background is a tad plain. Nice job on the gradient, but the gray and white is a bit boring and needs some more variation. (just being crazy here, but if you can do ribbons like that, why not try this and go all 3D)

The final point is the red. I know you have told us that you can't change the red of the logo, but what about saturation (like what was mentioned earlier in another post), red is not a colour it is a spectrum of different hues. Red + noise = amazing (if done right), why not try mixing up the reds a bit more.

Hope this helps.

First of all, I like your layout. The version with the comic-style bubble is the better one.

But the colors are very simplistic. I don't like this extremely saturated red. And to make things worse, it's the only color - the rest is gray. You need a different, richer color theme.

The website also lacks texture, lacks any graphics - and that makes it look too strict. Try playing with some gradients, perhaps some sort of background texture?

The layout is pretty simple, but effective. I prefer the concept that splits the image in half because the marketing message stands out a bit more. However, I'd spice up this area a bit more by making the background gradient a different color than the background. In addition, I'd like to see a secondary color that would tone down the red. For example, you could keep the logo, calendar dates, and maybe the headings red, but the nav bar, phone number, and marketing message headline could be a contrasting or complimentary color. This would help make the simple design more effective.

The footer could also use some more work. Try making the entire footer gray instead of just the one line of text.

It's cool...

I think the bg seems to almost seperate out the site as if you've got it sectioned off - because the grey grad takes up that much space.

Its a nice simple layout though that works well for its purpose

It'd be good if you could use a nicer font for body text and some depth to the page itself. Maybe adding some more interaction points for users would help this design out too
