New Client Beta Site

talk design
1

Here is the first version of the site:

Jamin’ Jumps - Click Here

Some time ago I posted the nav menu for review, but it has changed and I’d like some input on the site as a whole. The “party rentals” section only goes to the copyright page (the client hasnt given me the material for that part yet :stuck_out_tongue: )

All comments welcome - I suggest viewing it with 1024X768 res, not required, but definitly recommended.

Thanks in advance.

Peace

::BUMP::

No input at all? Even from new members? I’d really appreciate some feedback. Thanks! :slight_smile:

There are a few things…

It is very red and orange.

The bottom frame scrolls, but there is no scrollbar, so you can click in there and drag the stuff. I dont think it should scroll at all though :-\

Other than those… I think it is pretty good :slight_smile:

Nice job :slight_smile:

are you at 800X600? I think you are… sorry I should have mentioned that - I am making two versions once completed - since I design on 1024X768 I made it for that first… those scrolling issues should be resolved later! Sorry I forgot to put that in the origonal post.

Also, Lost when you say “very red and orange” are you simply refering to the color scheme or a miss match of the colors? If its just the scheme, well my hands were tied they’ve been in business for a while so I had to stick to their colors. If it is a miss match somewhere PLEASE let me know - and thanks for pointing it out!!

Peace

It is good you are going to fix scrolling issues for 800x600.

As for very red and orange, that is the color scheme itself. It is like… BAM… red and orange everywhere. But of course, the site must be built around the companies color scheme as you said.

Yeah ryall, that’s a pretty cool site men! I like the rollover button effect:) :slight_smile:

thanks guys I appreciate the input… Lost, I agree the colors are pretty “in-your-face”… the site used to have a light greyish pattern on the left and right framing it which really toned it down (that was my origonal design) then two days ago I got a call requesting that it be changed to a brilliant blue… I think that really makes the entire page more loud! Oh well… :smirk:

If anyone has any more suggestions, or comments I’d like them! This is the rental phase of the project so I want the design to be right, because after this I have to go into the selling part which is an eCommerce section with like 200 items and a lot of pages. So I want to get the design right while it is small. Thanks again! :stuck_out_tongue:

Peace

hey Ryall,

okay about your site:

I noticed the images quality was so bad, ok, the interface is good, but i think the color should be changed, and the final thing, the music, i would recommened a loop or a normal music rather than a song! :slight_smile:

I didnt see anything wrong with the image quality h88.

Also, if you read earlier, he can’t do anything about the colors, the clients want it like that.

10

I really didnt like that one: !

hmm, okay, client want that color, what about the song?

I am with Lost - I think the image quality is pretty good, maybe because my Rez is pretty high and I am not seeing it up real close. As for the colours - your right, there is nothing you can do about it and you have to make the customer happy above all else cause in the end he signs the paycheque! The sound did take a while to load so I agree with H88 you should make a loop. The chorus and lead into that track would be great (reminds me of the simpsons episode with the blind guy and the pot!)

The only thing I would change maybe is on your party tents or whatever they are - you should have a picture of a child along side them so people can see the sizes in relation to something they can identify with. To me they look really small - almost fake but that’s only because I dont have something to compare it to.

That’s my opinion anyway :slight_smile:

Oh yah - the layout is very nice and great work :slight_smile:

I noticed it is a tad too orangy… but i guess it goes with it in some level since it’s a fun site…

I would suggest that you put a detect browser thing… I did it with our site… and it’s worked wonders especially since everybody seems to sport a different screen resolution!!

I found the tutorial here… lostin gave me a script too… but I figured the detect browser would fit what I needed…

aside from that, the site’s befitting of the subject.

good work!
