LemonInflux Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 On a design note... The maroonish text for home, register and login doesn't go with the blue. Your gradient starts at too much of a harsh blue to go with the predominately white background, and ends in too much of a harsh blue. Try toning it down (#6699FF to #FFFFFF?) Not sure why the 'Register' title is in a black-to-white gradient with drop shadow, but get rid of that - a softer, simple grey, completely unaltered would work much better. Generally, it has that air of being a website that was made by someone who just got a new copy of photoshop/fireworks. Web2.0 it a bit ---------------- Now playing: Get Cape. Wear Cape.

obsidian Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 There is really not too much to critique from the design perspective. I think the banner needs some help. The gradient on your navigation really doesn't seem to emphasize the design, and it definitely doesn't serve to separate your navigation from the rest of the header. Typically speaking, you only want to use images for navigation when you are doing some sort of effect with it. Otherwise, it's really a waste of resources. For what you are doing, plain text in the navigation will work just fine. The text on the page is big, too. I would definitely shrink down text sizing a bit. Also, it's a bit odd that your "Credentials" heading is indented a tad while your "Information about you" is not. Overall, it's clean, but there is nothing that would really catch my eye and make me want to spend time on the site. A little more color (or better use of it, maybe) or an image or two may really be able to spice up a design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly - War of the Worlds via FoxyTunes yeah i have recieved several comments on the nav colors just took the time to change it now im lazy :] im not sure i like the plain text in the nav any suggestions? im not sure how much i can do about the gradent at this point i might look into changing it later today. yeah i wanted something for the titles but just can figure out what would look nice so i went into photoshop and made what i was thinking was good . . . . what was i thinking? anyway hows this? a little more fancy but still not plain or CRAZY not really sure what to do about that. my goal is web 2.0 so thats good i suppose?

LemonInflux Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Just a note to say - now your navigation is all weird I'm on firefox 3, and the navigation buttons all have a clone, which is way over to the right of the original. :S ---------------- Now playing: Get Cape.

RalphOrange Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 it looks better now. Just curious, why is there a large gray Information box on the right side. Is it required or can the text be put in a paragraph about your form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimmyvz Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 The page does not look bad, maybe you should make the whole page (not the header) into a div, so you can see that it it made for more pages and sizes, it just a thought but it says something about the site. ----- Need money? www.microworks.ws ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
