    The nav and blog display

    Posted on Feb 17, 2010 at 12:45 PM

    1. The navigation is a bit small for a bold text. It seems a bit squished. I would increase the size a bit.

    2. The logo should be much larger. It gets swallowed up in the large green header.

    3. It's very unclear what the boxes below the navigation are. Are they an extension of the navigation? Are the blog posts?

    4. The blog posts need something to separate them. A border, alternating background, etc. As of now they blend together too much.

    Overall it seems like you definitely have potential for this site, I would make sure that you make it clear to the user where he/she is supposed to focus and go.

      1. thanks for the concrete guidance...
      2. once again thanks
      3. yeah I am taking Allwin's advice and moving the nav below the carosel of featured posts (and I will add a FEATURED POSTS) title to indicate what they are.
      4. once again great concrete guidance on this. Yeah I think coloring the background slightly or adding a seperator wil help heaps.

      thanks again for the suggestions
