Criticism Required, please? :)
Hi forum, It's Jak again
 .I've been asked by a friend to mock up (If that's the word?) a quick website design for a relative of his. After spending a little while researching, and not as long as I usually take designing, here's a 'not-nearly finished' design. I'd like to improve on it more, but I wondered If I could have criticism on the existing features. Particularly the big space underneath the logo. Below, is the design.  Regards, -Jak

I am not a fan of the logo font, has too much of a free hand appearance. And the curly tails look weird. I like the idea of a retro, script-like font though?
I like the color choices, and the simplicity to the design. Nice clean menu.

Thanks for reply
I was doubting the font, yet I wasn't 100% sure. Do you think it'd be wise to stick with the 'curly' theme, perhaps the 'wierdness' was just the choice of font, not the type. I've also changed a couple other things, and I'll repost them soon Thanks again... Regards, -Jak

I am not sure if the colours 100% work. I think it is the brown that throws it for me. I like the rest of the site though. Why don't you create a newsletter sign up feature underneath the logo. Good use of space.

Overall design is nice, but as Mug said, get rid of the brown from footer, I would suggest you to pick some of the colors from the image, there are several hearts with different colors, try them all and see which fits best.

My first thought when I saw that site, is "busy". The graphics are a bit too busy, and is likely to cause users to quickly leave the site.

I have no problem with the site, but it does look unfinished. I suggest a better placement for the social media icons, as they look like an afterthought right now. Also, the curly font is great for the logo, but use a complementary font for the headlines.

I like it, except for the brown color at the bottom of the page. It will work fine.

I actually like the logo font.. I would remove the photo, put the logo (same size) to the left and take the text under the photo and put it to the right of the logo. I would then increase the height of the brown at the bottom so it took up half the page height with some more content inside using maybe a two or three column format.
But that's just me : ) |
