Eminence Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hello there, I am currently in the middle of designing a website for my company. I've hacked away at all the coding and everything functions correctly. However I've run into a brick wall as far as where to go with the site aesthetically. http://www.foxscream.com (I recommend clicking the photos / blog tabs to get an accurate representation of what the website looks with content.) Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I know there are a few web-saavy members on this site. Thanks, Erik Drzazinski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Is it just my browser (chromium 12) or there really is a huge blank column on the left? What are you putting there? A vertical logo, a fixed-scroll menu, something like that? In the shop, the list says "Mens" and "Womens". The "e" form (men, women) is the plural, so you can drop the S. Aside from that, you might want to use a slightly darker background. Make it a bit gray-er, to avoid a "plain" look. The navigation buttons are nice. There is a considerable "dark grey" space you can use when the buttons are hovered. How about putting in a slanted/cut icon or something, kinda like this (excuse the crappy hasty sketch): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Is it just my browser (chromium 12) or there really is a huge blank column on the left? What are you putting there? A vertical logo, a fixed-scroll menu, something like that? A vertical logo or some type of graphic sprawled upon the side was the plan. If that doesn't work out I'm going to center the navigation bar, throw a logo in the white-space to the left of the home button, and add a background on both sides akin-to: http://erikdrzazinski.blogspot.com Something simple, creative, and professional. In the shop, the list says "Mens" and "Womens". The "e" form (men, women) is the plural, so you can drop the S. Not the feedback I was expecting but appreciated and duly noted, haha. Aside from that, you might want to use a slightly darker background. Make it a bit gray-er, to avoid a "plain" look. Right on. Going for the sleek-look, I feel the white accomplishes that but agreed it looks too plain (which is why I posted). The navigation buttons are nice. There is a considerable "dark grey" space you can use when the buttons are hovered. How about putting in a slanted/cut icon or something, kinda like this (excuse the crappy hasty sketch): [qimg]http://i.imgur.com/erdFt.png[/qimg] Hadn't even thought of that but it's definitely a good idea. I'll mock-up some buttons for myself. Great post. Rep up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
