I honestly can't find anything wrong with this design. Great use of lighting effect in the background(actually similar to me design im working on for my portfolio :P)
Good contrast on logo to make it really stand out. Everything just fits.
One little downside, whats the last.fm thing for? Its not very clear. Maybe a little descriptive text below it or something.
Great work.
This seems to be an area that's been covered time and time again. Not that this isn't unique, right? You've obviously done some market research, and you want to deliver an experience that extends beyond what other music event sites have done. I'd voice HOW you stand apart from the others, and this should be clearly conveyed in your design as well. Your soon-to-be-acquired userbase should immediately know what this service is, and how it's different than others. Also, if you overlap on other territory, consider building simple importing/synchronizing tools so that you can focus on the meat of your product (i.e. the things that separate you from them!).
Your design is quite terrific, and as an end-user, I would be instantly attracted to a download.
Thank you for your feedback. You have a good point about the whole importing/synchronizing thing. We'll work on thath.
Hi Martin,
This website is very good. Typograhy, color harmony, effect etc. are good.
Great design but...
what was the native resolution you designed the website for?
I tested with 1024 and 1920 width. At 1024 you get a vertical scroll just to show the 1 line of the footer.
With 1920 you get a non repeating background that looks strange and kind of empy.
But these are just details
Good design :) very Webby :)
Thank you for the useful feedback - i will change width of the page.
Really nice design, hard to complain about anything! Is there a call to action somewhere, only thing I would change (like a mailing list upon release, etc..)
Looks great!
I concur with Pedro about the background image: it should repeat horizontally to match any monitor size.
While I like the immediate visual impact of the icon layout at the bottom, the interactive aspect of clicking on an icon is too seperated from the demo of it in the Iphone image. The visual scan back and forth isn't very clean or encouraged by your layout, IMO. A usability improvment would be to place it directly above or below the iphone. Not a big deal in the end because it's pretty simple, but not an interactive design technique I'd like to see repeated in my favorite websites.
You might consider an email list sign-up for your call to action right now, or upgrading the follow on Twitter link if you think your customer base is more likely to do that. If you've gotten them excited, what are they supposed to do? I think some folks might appreciate a reminder a few weeks from now.
You're right about the interaction - It's a bit too seperated - i thought that the whole page was simple enough so it would work anyway. Perhaps I'll move them.
I'll add a mailing list :-)
thank you for the feedback
great design, very clean. Very appropriate for an app site.
I think this design is great, all the colours and graidents work really well together.
Simplistic Excellence! :)
It feels
I really can't give any suggestions here. Cheers mate
I, like others, have to say..I think this design is perfect for what you're trying to achieve. Great use of typography, lighting effects, large background images and a clean palette of colours. Well done.
like it very much... all the best
I like this design and i don't find wrong. really good works !
This is great. The only thing I will add is some shadowing (like the phone) on buttons. All the icons are great, except the search icon (imho). That search button is not align with the rest.
i like lighting effect and shadow
nice dark effect and use of colour good work
Honestly not much I would do here, and my one critique is nitpicky at best. I would probably give the Gigbox word a 'set in' or engraved look to really root it in the piece. But all in all it looks really solid.
Haha, I saw this in a comment above and used the same "Bottom line" because it fits it perfectly.
Nothing wrong to it, it's all about visual preferences. I would arrange the top menu different for example, but i don't see a problem with this arrangement.
Good job. I don't think there is anything to change here :)
A very, very, very great layout. The only tweak that I can possibly find is the "search" icon - when the page loads it displays as if you've already rolled over it, so it's higher in the line (as evidenced by the screen capture). Other than that, very impressive. Great work!
Good design
Can you be more specific about 'technology elements' ? maybe give an example from some other site?
Very nice design!
Although it is really a minor thing. It's one of those designs I look up to because it is such an eye catcher and delivers the product in such a way the creator should be proud of. I love the combination of the dark blue background, it makes the green headline jump out of the screen. The mobile device integrates well into the design. The blue light effect adds interest to the background but doesn't grab too much attention.
It's not a big thing, but I would try darkening the floor in the corners so it's more a part of the overall design. I think it will also bring the main content more forward.
But anyway it's a great job!
Thanks. I'm planning to add a feature list in that area so hopefully it won't need more detail when it's finished.
Thank you for the feedback.
I'm sure you're still in the development stage so you're probably already aware of this, but if not, there is no way to get back to the homepage after visiting "About Gigbox" (other than pushing back on your browser). Other than that bro great job. It looks really clean and cutting edge. A great representation for such a cutting edge product (software).
Very solid design! Great typography, subtle lighting effects, etc.
I think it really works great with the intended purpose of the page.
Cheers!
Clear and beautiful design. I lake the colorway and your logo. I love the blur on the phone's reflection.
The concept is pretty cool and clearly explained
the interface is awesome, I love how the icons work the phone. Great work!
There's basically nothing wrong with this design - great job! I would add a really, really obvious sign up button, though. Some of the more stupid internet users wouldn't get how to sign up. I would add "Sign Up" somewhere next to the "Available in October '09" part.
Keep it up!
Sleek, professional and well executed. You could make this design even better by jazzing it up a little on the blue portions. Its already great as it is but it needs something extra to be unique
I like very much the clean and nice design. Typography is good and let you feel comfortable. Colors are good and gives, dramatic atmosphere.
Looking eye candy touch.
the site is excellent, excellent use of colors, and background with good choice of icons
It's very difficult to find any flaws on this design. I really like it. I like the typography, color scheme, and icons (of course) a lot. The background gradient is a nice subtle hint at stage lighting or curtain...
The only thing I would consider tweaking is the vertical alignment of the 'Features' and 'reviews' subheadings and paragraph text. Search icon button looks a tiny bit higher than the others as well was this intended?
I agree with most others:
It's very pleasing on my eyes, I love the colors and the use of gradients.
The green makes it pop
Looks beautiful. Your font choice and colors are really working in you're favor. Good job!
I like the color scheme. The phone and the text are very similar and the green is used to highlight calls to action, so great job there!
Hi Martin.
This site looks lovely.
After looking at your linked version I noticed a bit of typography items that will make this look a bit better. If you want:
First, referring to the text under "Find,experience and share live music events" there is a big open block of space made under your first sentence and above your third sentence. It is located after the word "artists". This space draws attention to itself , stopping the eye from a smooth flow in reading the paragraph. Just push the words around a bit so that left edge has an aligned look.
So, bring "on your" to the second line, and "After each" down to the fourth line and all will be solved.
Then I don't know if it is just my computer and how it reads it. But the Paragraphs under features are not all left aligned. Particularly: The second and 5th paragraph.
Then the paragraph of Gigbox on twitter. The quotes need to be pushed to the left of the paragraph so the first words first letter aligns with the second line, rather than the quote itself.
Then the sentence number 2 under download the App is missing a period. (outside of the quoted word 'gigbox'. )
Have you tried pushing all the icons under feature to the left and aligning the text only to the F in the title "features"? (For that is the normal way to deal with text and listing marks.)
Overall I think this is beautifully designed!
self repair: ... Just push the words around a bit so the RIGHT edge has an aligned look...
( I wrote left side :0) oops!
Thanks :-)
