Perry Mason Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hi, I'm trying to redesign my site http://medeponyms.com to make it look less 90s. This is the new version: http://medeponyms.com/index1.php (the majority of the links is not functional yet) I tried to maintain the consistency with the previous version in the color scheme. I like the way the header and the top navigation panel look, but I'm not so sure about the right panel. I've been playing with it for a couple of days and basically I'm stuck for ideas. What do y'all think? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211943-redesigning-my-site-need-suggestions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbarhosting Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 You have a really good idea here, the design is hard to read though. If it were me, I would tone down the colors a little bit and work on giving it more of a medical feel, more professional. Model it after big name companies like Web MD or Dr. offices. People are use to seeing those sites when looking for medical information. Working on credibility will help your business out.

fortnox007 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I should go for a more colour less design maybe a hint of green or purple (just like a hospital). White or very light grey background. And let stuff look like it flows a bit, everything now looks extremely 2D. Mean reason for this is that there is no visible margin between the items. Look for instance at those nice twitter and facebook buttons, they look great, they have some space which lets them pop out a bit. try to apply that on your site a bit. anyway considering your previous design this is indeed an improvement. damn 90's Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211943-redesigning-my-site-need-suggestions/#findComment-1105148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Mason Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Ok, I've tried to tone down the colors, although I really like that shade of blue in the header so I'm keeping that for now (don't want the site to look hospital-blue and sterile, despite its subject). I've also added some three-dimensionality with box drop shadows (as a result they don't work in IE). What do you all think? Initial: http://medeponyms.com/index.php Color crazy: http://medeponyms.com/index1.php The latest: http://medeponyms.com/index2.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211943-redesigning-my-site-need-suggestions/#findComment-1111924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignace Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 wow the "final" one is 500% better good job Indeed, I like it too although I would have liked the "Image of the Week" return. The three boxes below the content on the homepage are amazing.

papillonstudios Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 look much better than the previous one. One thing you could do is round the corners on the top of your front element. to make it look more Web 2.0 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211943-redesigning-my-site-need-suggestions/#findComment-1121770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
