Hi Julio,
i want to start out by saying this site looks fantastic. I think its got a cool grungy look to it, but is also not too messy.
Very clean look and very well executed.
Here is the only thing i think NEEDS help
Here are some of my ideas:
Also, this is just and after thought, but the colors used seem just a tad girly to me. I dont know if im the only one, but. the pastel colors make me think of a girl. :|
although just by switching the colors a little bit you should be fine.
Good luck!
Thanks! Definately look into the colors, I know you probably know about http://kuler.adobe.com/ But if you dont or just need a reminder, Thats where I would go!
Hi Julio,
I think you have done a great job on this design. I especially like the 'textured background' as it really adds interest.
One suggestion though would be to increase the size of the logo and description as I think it is being lost at the moment. It really is the most important element on the page so make it stand out!
Good luck,
Ross
I like the overall idea and feeling of this site. Interested to see what the other pages will look like. I like how you handled the social networking buttons. Although they are larger than your main navigation.
The font you are using for the logo and navigation is hard to read. The lowercase s is really what is buggy me. Also the orange text on the pale orange background is fading out your main navigation. If you are going to have a Home button make it the same size of your other main navigation buttons. It makes the whole main navigation look not centered or something.
I like how the services are handled, but I would try just alternating the height between them. So Corporate and Wedding would like up with each other just like Private and Others. Unless Weddings is more important then the others.
I understand why the pen, pencil and coffee are there, but the coffee seems to stick out. Not sure if it is needed or maybe there is something better to use.
Definitely work on the colors and contrast a bit more. Looking good though.
yea I'm change the logo text don't like it to much. The client likes for a coffee cup to be in the design lol. Im going to post the changes soon. thanks for the feedback.
Overall I like this concept. I really like the background and the bottom half of the page the most. However, I think the font used in the navigation is just too playful. Especially if one of the target markets is corporate. I think the 4 calls to action are just below the navigation could use some color changes to match a more uniform palette. The text on the 4 images (corporate, private, weddings, others) seems inconsistent to me. Its good to experiment with ideas like that, but I think for the purpose of this site, that section could use more tasteful labeling. Keep up the good work Julio!
yep just playing around with fonts but I think i got it now will post new one soon. thanks for the feedback
It has occurred to me as I review there is somewhat of a disconnect between the top and bottom of the site the top being "floral"(Logo/Mark' and weddings)Like it lots.
And the bottom which gets a little "photshop tutorial top 10" what ever inspired the former should be allowed the run of the page it really is quite inspired.
Will he is a party planner so I wanted the facebook, twitter, etc.. is key for is business + he doesn't have much to work with lol. but thanks for the feedback =)
Hi Julio,
Overall nice looking site with suitable colors. As others have pointed out, might want to have the logo stand out a little more.
My main comments are with regards to the main graphic (banner):
I personally like the four seporate images. to me it shows how many different services he offers, and they arent like to thin.
Hi Julio,
I would suggest to reduce the length of the top banner as they are huge. The menu is nicely spaced out as its seems to be a small site.
its a very small website that's why I made the images big to fill in space. The client doesn't have much content and images. So making the best with what I have =)
Also try to pick the rating by what I design because I know my design is no 1 so try again. thanks
Takes for the feedback I will be changing the colors around.
