    add navigation

    Hello - I'll start by saying that I love the design concept. The 50's theme definitely works, and the main image is right on point. Overall aesthetically pleasing, however what bothers me is the following:

    • where's the main navigation? (about us, contact, gallery, client testimonials, etc...)
    • Where is the privacy policy?
    • Terms and Conditions?
    • what is the selection criteria?
    • if selected, what does that specifically entail?
    • sign up link for makeover event is expired. (either remove it completely upon expiration or display next available event details)
    • when i went to the Super Web-O-Matic site, a few of the client gallery examples had bogus footer information which puts up red flags for me.
    • if I submit a site and am not "selected" for a revamp, am I notified?

    You're requiring users to submit their name, company name, email, phone number, site url, and reason for submission, yet disclose nothing as to what they will get in return.

      Thanks very much Rebecca, we're working on adding the footer and additional nav items you mentioned. The first version of the site was really just to test the idea. Now that we have received dozens of submissions we can start to take it seriously and get the detailed elements in place.

    Header

    Push the main tagline down below the header to cater for a possible navigation, and to clearly define the header of the website.

    Call to Action Panel

    I'd push this down below the bullet points as a horizontal row

    Smaller Graphic

    Could make the graphic a little smaller so that it lines up with the left set of bullet points. Your main tagline would site above this, likely horizontally and center aligned.

    Divider

    Create some sort of clear definition between the main banner graphic, and the portfolio section. Currently, this part looks like a simple H2 following some intro content.

    Client Name

    The heading for the client name is a little strange as it doesn't cut across both screenshots. Consider extending it all the way to the right, or lose the background color and have a simple border-bottom.

    More Footer

    I hope that's not the end of the footer. The top area seems to have so much effort put into it, but the footer seems like a disappointing afterthought. Even if you intend not to have a top navigation, do keep a good footer with the necessary legal info and links, about and contact information. The footer should be light text on a dark background (not unlike the CF site) for a clear definition as well.
