    Good start

    Posted on Mar 23, 2010 at 8:40 AM

    This is a good start, but still needs some work. I really like the navigation and the logo bar. However, the way the site is organized feels a bit clunky to me. I would remove the image above the logo, shift everything up and then make the content area more interesting.

      Hi Nate. Thanks for the comment.

      First, what shall I do with the space if I will remove the image above the logo? What do you mean by shift everything up? And what do you call "interesting"? What shall I add?

      It seems like you have a lot of wasted space at the top. I would just move the blue bar with the logo and nav up to the very top of the browser window.

      It's hard to put to word what I mean, but if you look at the links below I think the exhibit interesting and well laid out content areas:

      Does that make more sense now?

      About the first part of your comment, I will try that out.

      About the second part, it's not the same type of website... I can't put such a content like details block or something in my site. By the way, you said that I should remove the image above the logo.. Where shall I put the image the Kirill gave me?

      I changed the image above the logo. What do you think?

      To me, it's not necessarily the image, but rather the placement of the image. I would just remove it all together.

      What do you mean? Where shall I put the image? And I kinda like the placement of the logo.. I don't think it will be prettier if it will be on top

      Here is what I am talking about...just remove the entire image:

      This is a good place to start. Blue bar all the way at the top and rework the content area...clear?

      I got what you mean from the start, but the blue bar at the top just doesn't look good..

      About the content, I can make some changes. What do you think I should do?

      That's really hard to say. Without designing it for you, all I can say is that it currently isn't working.
