A Review of Contractors Website by Matthew Chverchko

I still think there is a lot of woodgrain in the design. Maybe darken the background.

    I love the color scheme. I wish you were given an opportunity to redesign the logo as I don't think it says anything about the company. Just a thought, what other photos might be in the main area there? I ask this because right now with the wood of the cabinets I'm reading the design as heavy on the wood grain, but if another image was there (say a marble bathroom) the page could have a different feel. As far as the light verses dark footer: the light one draws too much attention to it. The dark one's brown seems too dark, maybe a level halfway between the too. Also, this is me being picky, but the roof on the top of the footer is dead center in the design, which looks a little weird given that the text above it is 2/3 and 1/3. Maybe moving it the whole way to the right would help balance it with the house logo in the top left. It would then also point out the Services Overview.

      Thanks for the review, pal. If the client didn't already have a ton of business cards and t-shirts, I would have talked him into a logo redesign. We can always make a switch when his inventory runs out...

      Yes, we will feature many other types of photos that will not feature wood so it will not blend in with the rest of the design. Take a quick look at the footer in the old version of this - it's in the middle as you mentioned.

      I'll play around with the roof, maybe even replace it with something else. Any ideas? I rather it not be a flat line across...
