Design Critique of a Website front end.

[Wacrer]

I Hope this is OK to post up here. I would like to get some feedback on this and I remembered how honest everyone is in here ;D Well, i am going to post this and if it not contextually appropriate take it down and send me a PM.

Basic Feedback in overall design, things I could do differently and things you might add or completely trash. Thanks guys and gals :rolleyes

I like the set up but the main photo on your page seems to have alittle to much water in it with very little horizon.

I can see why you picked it...for the background color I'm assuming, but maybe try a different version that has a wee bit more off in the horizon.

Just my opinion :D

I'm still working on mine and your way ahead of me :D

horizon curve can be fixed, imo should....
and horizon so close to that line just seem too close to me...

I moved this from the Whipping Post, as the WP is not intended for web site critique, just photos. You should get some good help here in MYOB.

DaveTO - Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I knew I was close and was unsure of where exactly to go.

AaronNelson - The horizen thing does need to be corrected! Alas I am stuck working with Gimp. I need to firgure out how to fix that :/ Thanks boss.


Dogdots - First off, that is an extreamly cute dog you have there. I agree more sunset less water! It makes complete sence, those things we should plainly see when staring us in the face sometimes need a new perspective. Thanks for that :)

Peace.:D

No problem...I'm really good at doing things like that with my photos and not noticing it till later. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in one part of the photo and don't look at it as a whole picture :scratch

That cute dog is Tyler. Boy name...girl dog, but that is the only name she would respond to. If your a dog lover...she is the best dog. Loves to cuddle...and spoiled rotten :D

Not bad a bad layout at all... Nice work!

I agree with other posts on the horizon of the background pic. ...however as far as being a website, is there going to be text in there? If not, I think it is neat, but a ton of wasted space filled with water. Sorry!!

..the calendar.. is it going to mark anything or just show the current date? If it is just a calendar showing todays date, I don't see the point.

The text on the top could stand a bit of pop.. Maybe another layer of text and add a bit of glow, or just try a drop shadow on the original with and play with different colors with the shadow? ..or maybe just clone the text and bump it over and down a bit... I dunno.. I just feel it is a bit too floaty and it being a thinner font seems to get a bit lost in the pic..

..of course that might just be me! :dunno
