    Simplify

    Posted on Aug 25, 2009 at 1:57 PM

    Best maxim: "simplify, simplify"

    I like the top navigation area and the logo. Doesn't really speak for what you do, but it feels good. I thought the top was navigation at first though, you might want to make it looks less "link-y".

    Optimization is misspelled below the header.

    The stock photography in the 4 buttons is too stock. Find pictures that better suit the need, or modify them to do so.

    The search bar feels out of place. For a design that requires only a few pages, why is a search necessary? It also doesn't "flow" with the rest of the design; looks like it's cut and pasted from something else.

    On the "tags" that say web design, pay perclick, etc, the first word looks bad stretched as it is. Find a font that allows Graphic to fit within the boundaries, and then just align the rest to the right so as to be centered in the entire "tag", not just the white area.

    Remove some of the text in each "tag" description, it's too rich.

    Remove some of the content. It's just too much for one page. This is a home page, not a glossary or book synopsis.

    Overall, simplify things.

      To be honest the search bar and overall navigation on this site has been my main problem so thanks for the feedback I have taken it on board and will keep working on my design. I have also removed a lot of content and created another page for it but I do really think the site needs to become a little bit more simple looking :)
