    The whole website looks nice. The only thing that bothers me is that you have that blurry picture in de middle. (at the top).

    It looks messy...

    Grts from Belgium!

    play the brand more heavily

    The design looks strong and the use of images etc seems to be great. (Unfiortunately, I cannot see what the call to action is here due to language but, my eyes are immediately drawn to the right side box).

    The one area that I think could be accentuated more is the brand. The logo is not really relating to the rest of the layout. So I can tell you what this site is for, but I had to look a couple of times to remind myself of the brand. If this business is dependent on repeat visits, you may want to get the brand more dominant and working with the rest of the content better.

    Header

    Posted on Sep 02, 2009 at 10:57 AM

    This is a great design simply because I don't understand the language, but immediately know what the site is about and yet know where to click and what to do. THAT's usable.

    Now, the critique on the header:

      1. The extreme top row is very plain compared to the rest of the template. You could replicate the same dark brown color on inverse the text color to white. Shift the language options all the way to the left. Include text links besides to icons for clarity. For example, does the mail icon mean an email address, an online contact form, or just general contact information?
      1. Am not entirely sure what the image in the header is for but it should be removed. Depending on its purpose (and whether its a permanent feature), you may consider it as a standard navigation button, call-to-action banner/button within the main content area or just a regular text link right at the top.
