hiya, this is my latest project: a site for a church. basically its a kind of christian church that seperated from the roman-catholics in 451, with a community in austria. currently i’m trying to get a layout done for the main page. anyways, what you’ll see after clicking the link below is all i could come up with so far and honestly, i’m not too confident with it… :-/ the customer asked me to add links to his old page, plz just ignore them, as well as the german text… so, if you can drop a few lines about what you think of the layout/look of the first page, i’d appreciate it, and please… be honest 🙂 thanks in advance, oh, and please mind that i’m no pro at all, just doing this to finance my studies… [color=#333333][http://www.suryoye.at/](http://www.suryoye.at/)[/color] ---

i think its too busy, and you have too many different types of fonts. it need to be unified. bring it all together with a common theme. ---

Why are the linking pages different from the front page? I think the style on the front page -the parchment bg, litho/etching graphics and nice serif font-totally suit the topic at hand, it looks great. But I really think you should carry this style over to the other pages that make up the site to give it a unified aesthetic. ---

i will 🙂 the linking pages were made by some volunteer, who wanted to do the church a favor, i’ll replace them with a cms (mambo) as soon as i dare to call the main page “finished” 😉 oh, and thanks for the compliment :flower: ---

I like the index but for example when I enter in “Geschichte” theres too much info and I have to scroll down too much, maybe u can make ur font smaller, its annoying to scroll that much 🙂 ---

I prefered the old one. I’m all against the buttons that don’t have titles. It means I have to put even more of an effort into knowing what’s on the site. If you do that, you’ll atleast need a menu next to it showing all the pages that those buttons represent. ---

you’re right, i tend to forget about usability sometimes :trout: hmm, the layout seems cleaner to me now tho… …got to find a compromise without having to start anew… :puzzled: ---

There’s not that big of a difference, but I think the new one is a bit better. ---
