Wedding Website Review

[philipd]

HI Fellow members, I have been working on websites for a while now and wanted to know what you think of this website...It is not fully finished but the overall framework is there with pics etc.

I think the site is a little too red. I know you want to have a color scheme reflecting your name but I think it lacks contrast and that makes it look a little primitive. If I were you I'd look at somewhere like www.colorlovers.com and try and find some different colors or shades to use in different parts of the site.

Maybe look at somewhere like: http://bgpatterns.com/
to come up with a different background. I'd imagine the bulk of your target audience is going to be brides-to-be so maybe a lace type background might be appropriate.


That said it's clear, clean and to the point.

HTH,
JC

The black on dark red is unclear imo, you need a title / logo to stand out, think of a better contrast here.

I'd like to see a clean layout, with two, perhaps three colours in high contrast; let the photographs create the colour, black and white is an obvious and highly effective choice - I will promote to you I site I've using recently due to attending a wedding photographed by the owner:

This is something we can offer to you if required.

Well, I remember when you had it straight red, but now it is almost straight purple. You need to combine a couple colors that stand out and not do colors that blend with each other. Have some stand out colors as accents to the site. Also, you need to have more content on the page than you currently have. I would never have known this were a photographer's website. The best thing you should do for something like this, that were really show your creativity, would be to base your site in flash. I have seen some really awesome and gorgeous sites that are photographer websites that amazed me.
