Re: Other Road Design v3
Hi CV,
Just remember that I give very in-depth critiques!
Here's what I think:
- You appear to be using two logos. I'd get rid of the one the 'Y' that is supposed to look like two roads or incorporate into the top bar.
- All those pages are silly! It makes a website seem too big and overwhelming for anyone, and there really is no point. These are the only pages you need: Home, About Us, Our Services, Our Work and Contact. (And if you're smart, you probably don't need the 'Our Services' page) That Volunteering info can go in the About Us, The 'What we offer' and 'other services' should obviously be merged, 'Get a quote' and 'contact us' should be merged and 'Web Design' + 'Web Development' should go in the 'Our Work' page.
- Pick three fonts (including ones used in images) and stick with them. It doesn't matter whether you use italics, bold, semi-bold once you stick to the same three fonts (four MAXIMUM).
- The colour scheme isn't exactly the nicest, and as stated above, have a look at a colour palette generator or something of that sort.
- You should be using the CSS image navigation method that prevents any flicker, using one image for your whole menu, and not one for each item and it's states. Have a look at an article written for the Newsletter.
- Use a current state in your menu to show users what page they're on, and ditch the humpy thing at the bottom, bad for usability as if the page is long they'd have to scroll to the bottom to find out.
- There's too much unformatted text on the homepage! God, there's no way I want to read it. Then I wonder why there's a quote to an apparently irrelevant poem.
- Those what we offer boxes, to the right on the homepage should be done using CSS...don't be lazy! And yes, you can get shadows on divs using CSS.
Ed.
