Website design for synchronise.org.uk

This feels very zen to me. My pet hate is dashes and I think the we bits would look better without them. As far as layout goes it is very clear. The subheading beginning coaching needs lining up it looks a little odd indented without the body text indented.

I think it probably fits the style of your client from images she took.

I think above where the text starts, you've got a pretty good start. In the text area however, it gets muddled. You have two columns, but they are not very clear. What I would do is give a background to the right column to separate it from the rest of the page. I might make it a few pixels wider as well. That will make your typographic measure a little shorter which could be nice. Also, make sure there is a little more space (or some type of division) between columns. I think this could work. it has a good basis. The text just needs to be laid out a little better.

Hi Zeno,

I hope you're well.

I don't have much to say about this design. With all due respect I think it leaves a lot to be desired.

I don't feel it would be constructive to point out things or criticise your efforts.

It may however be useful for you to visit http://www.selfvalue.co.uk/. This is a good example of the company that provides services similar to Synchronise.

The Self Value site is very simple but effectively conveys the message of the company.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Matt

I like the color scheme - it looks calming and modern. However, if this is a coaching and facilitation company, instead of using single rocks on the main page, I would include something that's team-work oriented, or business oriented. My first impression is that this is for a spa or something. I agree with having too much "We-Think, We-Create... on the page". The overall function of your company needs to be presented quickly instead of the visitor having to search the site. I would stick with the color scheme though.

While I feel the design is pleasant, My main gripe with the whole site is..... it takes way too long to figure out what you do...

"Coaching, Learning Design, and Facilitation" doesn't tell me much. So you coach design and facilitate things? What does that mean?

The paragraph below the tag line confuses me even more.

I feel like your service needs to be described through an example on the home page. I read your entire homepage and I still have no clue what it is your company actually does. The 'Lord Byron' quote confused me even more.

May advice to you is. Be very clear and upfront on the homepage. Show the user what you do through an example. All of your copy is too floaty and abstract to even comprehend what the company does

DESIGN WISE Like a reviewer said previously, you need more pictures of happy people....

I would even include some of the photos from the We-lead page on the home page. This would cheer things up and put a face to those you'll be working with.

In regards to the text. Just a few padding issues exist. Your main content is much too close to the sidebar on the right. Space those out a bit more. There is too much tension. On the homepage, play with the line-height and size of the text and headers, currently it does not flow very well.

On your "What If - > We think... We-create" sidebar...... once again.... its very confusing as to where I will be going if I click those, so from a usability stand point, I less inclined to click it if I don't know where it will go.
