tibberous Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 http://trenttompkins.com/jd.html I was going for a high-end, web-2.0 kind of look. The text in first box will probably be replaced by a video player. What do you think? It's for a basement waterproofing company that also does home improvement.

Desai Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 This page, I like it. Logo looks a bit out of place to me tho'. Nice work. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/177391-basement-waterproofing-site-design-only/#findComment-935572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 There is potential, but there are a lot of things that bother me at this point, in particular the grid is not aligned very well. I like the main background image and how it fades nicely into the page, but you are wasting way too much space to the right of the text. In addition, something doesn't look right about the main text at the top. I think you should ditch the border around the white semi-transparent background and make the background slightly more opaque. The logo does not fit in to the page very well, it needs some work and better attention. The latest news stands out too prominent, it is of little importance to most potential visitors I'm sure. The outer glow/drop shadow also is distracting, things shouldn't all looked stacked. that is enough for me to start I think.

sKunKbad Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I like the colors, and if it is just for a client, I wouldn't worry about it. It's better designed than most websites out there.

lostprophetpunk Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 This is not a bad design, but it has some potential. - Background. The background of the site doesn't really suite the whole theme of the site, and makes it look cheap and tacky. - Alignment. The alignment of the content of the site is quite bad, as the 'We are committed...' box doesn't line up with the rest of the content. The latest news content doesn't align properly to the title of it. - Spacing. The spacing of the site is good, but there is some inconsistant spacing between the header below the nav and the content of the page. - Typography. Apart from the navigation, you only use one font for the whole content of the page. You should use one font for the headings and another for the body text. Maybe research a little more into typography before deciding on fonts. Not a bad design at all, keep up the good work.

tibberous Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 @lostprophetpunk - when you say the background, are you referring to the blocks or the finished basement? The "we are committed" text will probably end up being a video. Thanks for the advice, I'll take the advise into account tonight when I markup the real version.

lostprophetpunk Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I meant the bricks, and also...if you are still keeping the bricks...make sure it tiles well, as the current one you can see where it ends/begins vertically.

Dorky Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 the offset logo looks good. dont worry about looking like everyone else on the net, you wont stand out that way. i like the bg and the face in brick. site looks good to me. maybe make the header a little more exciting but not in a way that takes away from the offset logo.
