    Call to action?

    Posted on Aug 01, 2009 at 12:21 PM

    Nice and clean. Maybe a little too simplistic - my eyes want some intricacy to get me curious.

    There's no call to action on the right side of the hands. Where's a nice shiny button? A field to get an email address, etc.

    You also want to display content in broken down chunks that are easy to digest for potential clients. What does the company do? Can you illustrate it with three icons and three simple steps?

    Maybe compare different solutions and then call the surfer to action to inquire about one of them?

    Good start, just need to finish it up.

      Really thanks for that good advise.

      Small point. The client asked for a simple website with a not big budget. That said, i was limmited by options and did'nt thought about youre realy good solutions.

      The "call to action" parts are now only in the textfields.

      I realy take youre advise with me for a future project and look at youre points when ill do reseach. Thanks a lot :)

    Ha i can't read it!

    i like the color scheme, it's clean and simple.

    The only thing I can say is you played it safe. You didn't take any chances with the design so I am not EXCITED at your website, just think it's good.

    Hmmm, consider another color?

    Posted on Aug 03, 2009 at 1:55 PM

    First, let me say I really like your logo, the site layout, and the color. Blue is great, and globally, is considered the most inoffensive color. But let me toss this idea out there ... blue is a very cool color, not warm. Granted, the hands do add a more personal touch, and I realize you likely were tying in your logo color with the blue background. Have you considered warmer colors though? Maybe experiment with greens or golds. The other thing -- and I think someone else pointed out -- is a call to action. The hands do add that personal touch, but I think it would be better to relate them to that intro text. Maybe the company has a copy writer who can tailor the text and header in such a fashion. Nice job Jorne.

      Thnx for the comment. I've tried different colors but i'd liked the same color the most. It looked good (so good idea!) but the blue looks most natural and clean. Wish both client and me prefer.

      I think the call to action part is realy interesting. The intro part is used like an intro (introducing) text and the bottom for more information. How can you improve that ?

      I realy like youre comment! thnx again :)

      Jorne: I'm not much a copy writer myself, but if the header were maybe a bit larger and said something like "When you need a hand" or "We're here to help" or "Let us give you a hand" ... I think you get the idea. The header states a need or service, and the intro text says why a client might needs help, then follows with how the company can help with that goal or service. Does that make sense?

    Persoonlijker - more personal touch

    Posted on Aug 03, 2009 at 1:59 PM

    Hi, ik doe het maar even in het Nederlands, wel zo gemakkelijk lijkt me. Ik vind het logo waanzinnig, de opzet van de site ook. Het enige wat ik een beetje mis is het persoonlijke. Op de een of andere manier heb ik het gevoel dat Pembantu heel groot is en dat er geen persoonlijk contact is / of kan zijn. verder vraag ik me af waar Pembantu voor staat, maw wat betekent het?? Misschien dat je daar nog iets mee kan doen. verder mooie fotografie en heledere kleuren. Ziet er top uit. Succes en wie weet klop ik nog bij jullie aan, start zelf ook binnenkort :)

      Ook zeer bedankt voor je comment!

      Ik denk dat je daar een heel goed punt hebt aangezien het voor zo'n bedrijf wel belangrijk is. Bedrijven leggen toch een persoonlijk deel van hun bij Pembantu neer wat natuurlijk wel vertrouwd over moet komen. Ik ga het doorgeven. Thnx!

      Nog 1 klein dingetje ( betreft copy) Jullie schrijven "Pembantu bestaat uit twee heren die zeer gedreven zijn uw administratie te verzorgen". Heren klinkt wel errug oud....grijs en driedelig pak....Misschien gewoon "deskundigen" of professionals ipv Heren...? En als jullie toch meer een persoonlijke benadering willen, waarom niet gewoon jullie namen of een goede foto erbij van jullie twee...?

    more color

    Posted on Aug 21, 2009 at 2:33 PM

    this website is a bit plain for me. If I were you I would add more colors...maybe a blue footer that is 100% wide. also change the navigation font to Verdana like the rest of the site

    nothing

    Posted on Aug 01, 2009 at 9:51 AM

    You are right on with your objective of clean look with a warm friendly feeling - the little glow behind the hands adds just the right touch.

    If you had to change one thing I think ther is enough room at the top to emphasize the brand a little more.

      Thank you for the review and you've got an intresting point about the whitespace in the top. But what idea you got for that?

      I think you could enlarge the logo by 50% easily and line up the lower subcopy with the tabs.

    Bulleted list title

    Posted on Aug 01, 2009 at 12:06 PM

    I really like this! However, I would push the Pembantu title further to the left, so it is inline with the bullets.

      I love the logo though.

    A bit more light

    Posted on Aug 02, 2009 at 9:44 AM

    I think the idea is great, but I'd like to add a bit light, a stroke for the hands. There is some but I'd add more.

      Thnx for the comment. I can understand youre point but i think the hand only have a lot of intencion(?) so with more light is realy blows out :) hmm.. maybe good :P

    it's great!!!

    Posted on Aug 03, 2009 at 7:39 AM

    The logo is clean and nice, the hand relation is almost too subtle though. web page is great. you've done a great job.
