Its been a while but im back looking for some more third-party
advice. Please take a
look at my clients web site [http://www.gregoriopools.com/] -
I am trying to bring the site slowly into the future and working
with a limited color palette
[it just has to match the clients brand new logo].
Please let me know what you think and the browser you use - I know
for a fact that
some things are kind of 'odd' in IE sometimes, but i want some
honest opinions.
Looking at it in Firefox on PC and providing honest (my opinion only) feedback:
First thing I would do is center the design. I have a personal pet
peeve about left aligned sites with lots of open space on the
right. I have a 19" flat panel monitor and so I find this happening
quite a bit on many web sites. I find it harder to read having to
cock my head or slide my peepers far left to view the site on my big
monitor. I feel that the web design world needs to start thinking
more about monitor sizes and larger resolutions in general, but again
that's personal opinion as is everything I say here.
The font is very small - not illegible but I do think I'd go bigger with it.
The logo is smack dab up tight against the top of the page - I think
I'd give it a little breathing room.
I think I would left align vs centering the info on both
sideboards. Or maybe left align the left side and right align the
right side. The centering effect going on here along w/the lists in
the page is a bit on the "to much" side of things for my liking.
On this page: http://www.gregoriopools.com/whats_new.shtml I would
give the text content a bit of white space on the right. The content
is butting up to the right sideboard. There are more pages like this
as well now that I'm moving around the site more.
When you go back and forth 'tween these pages:
http://www.gregoriopools.com/spa_sales.shtml
http://www.gregoriopools.com/pool_moreinfo.shtml
http://www.gregoriopools.com/spa_moreinfo.shtml
http://www.gregoriopools.com/whygregorios.shtml
your left sideboard has a jumping effect - it gets narrower so
something is out of whack in the width somewhere I think. There are
more pages doing this I just didn't list them all.
So, those are the things I'd be working on if it were my site to
do. On a creative note, I think I'd also give the lists something
besides the round bullet - something blue maybe an arrow or something
different is all I can think of right now. Hope that helps :)
