Well- I still don't like the logo too much, and the buttons are still too big and bulky looking. Also- everything is still flat.

I am glad that you moved the navigation though...

OK, thanks for the tips. I changed the front page around, and the other pages around a lot. http://www.dangelowebdesign.com/bri-dan

I disagree, Justin -- I think the logo is the best thing on the page. It is simple, yes, but effective.

The running down the center style of page layout is troublesome, though. The navigation takes up the entire first screen! Get it out of the way, and out of those huge boxes. And the center button (bri-dan.com) needs to be 'on' or some indication of where I am in the site.

I would make the buttons smaller or ditch the outline around them (they are too high-contrast and are visually jarring making my eye move AWAY from them, which isn't what you want for your navigation. Move the content up where the user can see it, with the nav to the left, right, top of the content (one of those).

The little banner thing can go at the bottom, or get rid of it altogether unless is it representing an ad, in which case find somewhere for it to live. Each element needs to be placed with forethought, not just put in order down the page.

hth,

Suzanne

Well I was telling whats wrong with the logo: it looks like crap. Just some text and two boxes- woohoo. I think that you should use you're creativity to create them a good logo.

Well the text part looks better now, but there are still some problems witht he navigation. It's too big and bulky.

Also- everything is flat. You need some dimentions and 3D maybe...

Oh, never mind, I get it, ok, you are talking about the main page only. you're right. Im gonna do that.

I was noticing that it looked sort of plain there, I thought it WAS missing some color. I'll do that right now.

I think Im gonna keep all the images like they are though, because I dont want to have to scrool sideways.

Ok, look now. I think it looks good. Thanks robp.

Well, I like the menu and the logo doesn't bother me too much, but I don't like where the text is. It just looks too plain.

Try this maybe:

Make your menu all in one line. And than right below it make a table the same width as long as the 6 menu images combined are. Make the border colour of the table the same colour as the border for the images. And just put the text inside that table.

Try it and see how it looks?

Justin, how is a comment like that going to help me at all?

It's not.

Why don't you try helping people by telling them whats wrong with their work, instead of telling them that it "looks like crap"

Thanks

Well the logo still looks like crap but if it's close to their logo then there ain't nothing to do about it...
