    Copy size

    Posted on May 27, 2010 at 11:03 AM

    I like version 4.jpg best.

    If usability is your primary objective, have you thought about accessibility? The small text size combined with the white color concern me.

    I would suggest bumping up the point size and increasing the leading for all the copy on this page. The white copy at the top of the page would stand out more if the blue background was darker. Also, the white footer links seem to disappear in the background image. I don't think you need the footer links if they are just a repeat of the top navigation.

    Consider moving the contact information (address, phone, etc) to the footer area, and using the extra space to air out the middle. (You'll need more room if you increase the point size and leading.)

    You should include some visuals in the white copy boxes- icons would help break up the text-heavy middle.

    Hope this helps!

    Why

    why is this here? is this an image? If so, google will probably end up ignoring the site, because it will see blank...

    what's this for?

    I don't understand why there is floating text above the main nav...

    Main Navigation

    Is fairly simple and doesn't really catch my eye, you want visitors to explore the site, not ignore it. Also there seems to be no 'on' state or 'hover' state... suggest also making fully across the screen and bigger

    About us?

    I assume that this will be on all pages? If so, I would say remove it, so it only shows up on about us page...

    too much text

    In all honesty, these need to have images with 3 lines of text at the most and then a read more...

  • 6

    Alignment & spacing

    to me this looks really odd... I would move the content boxes to the middle of the page

  • 7

    Microsfot Partner

    Move this and the contact info to the footer

  • 8

    Logo

    This should be at the top of the page and smaller

  • 9

    Footer Navigation

    make the footer more prominent, this just looks like an after thought

    backround image

    wow... this is fairly un-imaginative, looks like XP wallpaper, try something different, just because you are a Microsoft partner doesn't mean you need to reflect their OS...
