Other Road Design v3

CloudedVision · Apr 20th, 2008, 23:02

I've taken the design I had earlier, touched it up and converted it from PSD to XHTML and CSS. I really like it, I consider it the best design I've done. Please give me critique on how I can improve it.

The url is http://dev.otherroaddesign.com/website/

Note: The little boxes on the side are supposed to be links, but I sorta forgot to do that.

Also, theres a couple of CSS bugs in IE7 that need to be ironed out.

Um, what exactly does trippy mean?

Haha, sorry. I have exams in a few days so I'm making everything short and sweet.

Trippy as in, that looks cool and creative, and that I like it. Easy to get around and it isn't cluttered.

Odd. What browser and OS are you using?

^Most likely the operation just timed out.

Just one thing, which I guess might be for development only, you need better page names

But bar that, it looks really nice. Not keen on Times New Roman either I'm afraid.

What's wrong with the page names?

I'll mess around with fonts and see what I get.

aso186 · Apr 21st, 2008, 20:51

I'm guessing Jack's talking about your filenames (0.html, 7.html etc.). But I'm also guessing you'll change these anyway ?

CloudedVision · Apr 21st, 2008, 20:58

Oh, my CMS automatically generates those. Is it really necessary to worry about filenames?

Bocaj · Apr 21st, 2008, 21:24

From an seo point of view.... yes.

CloudedVision · Apr 21st, 2008, 22:06

got the page names worked out. You'll have to go to http://dev.otherroaddesign.com/website/ to view the website now though.

karloff · Apr 21st, 2008, 22:13

not too keen on the green myself and I think there are too many fonts used.

however the site is clean and very easy to use

would be interesting to see with more content

motormaniac · Apr 21st, 2008, 22:44

i like the layout, but the colors arent the best. also it seems a bit cluttered. i think maybe one navigation might do it dont you?

CloudedVision · Apr 21st, 2008, 23:16

One is the main navigation, the other is the sub navigation. There both necessary.

How can I improve the colors?

Have a look here for colours that may help.
