Hey, I have been working on this company site for a little bit now. It’s one of the first flash sites I have created. I am not completely finished with it (some of the links are still going to the old page), but if you could tell me what you think about it that would be great. Please tell me exactly what you think, don’t hold back any. Thanks for any comments!
You need more contrast on the type. It is very hard to read. General rule of thumb is it is bad to have a complex bgrd image where there will be type.
There is some type way off to the right that is misplaced
why have a preview and then show the same stuff onclick, but once you onclick you lose the preview?
The header area does not stand out and looks rather boring and out of place. Spice that up a bit and add some effects or something to the rollovers (nav).
While this is a nice start you need some work. Especially in the basics of design principles. This is not a slam but constructive criticism. Cruise some of the inspiration sites like www.coolhomepages.com and see how other designers are doing it.
Main thing is also…DONT GIVE UP. keep going at it.
the space bg really just doesn’t fit in w/a company that develops pie cutters, picture hangers, surgical products, and self simmering potpourri. a cleaner look is needed to fit the wide variety of products.
as ddd said, the text needs a bg that delivers high contrast.
does the company have a logo you can incorporate?
ok here are my thaughts
- fonts are way too small on navigation (maybe you didn’t embed them?)
- the lense (spelling) flare is over used
- good concept
- needs some design work
- center your page
not a bad start but like i said the design needs some work to give it a more professional look.
Continuity and flow is the key. To represent a company that makes many different products, one should make the focus the company first and the array of products second. Ie promoting the services and talent of the company to users from different market areas, and saying this is who we are, by the way this is what we’ve done, what can we do for you? – or am i just stoned, dunno… yap very…haha
Get some product shots of the factory office, etc and add them to your ensemble, trade the Karl sagan shots in the BG with something pertinent, and make the nav stand out of the page, should make a bit of a difference.
