Overall, it is a nice site. I like the tone.. it is elegant and soft. There are a few key things that "if I were you" I would work on or change:
â Banner The blurry banner image actually hurt my eyes enough that when first when to the page I had to change back to another window, because my eyes were spasming. I had to spend the rest of my time there trying to avoid looking at it. I am not trying to suggest I don't like the banner or the concept of it, but I was physically bothered by it. Maybe it is just me (I am a little sick at the moment). â Content Focusing Maybe it was because of my issue with the banner but I had trouble knowing where I should start reading. My eyes didn't automatically go to a title or a paragraph. The reason I think is because the header text way too subtle. It just melts into the background. I would like to have titles to draw my eyes to them. As the viewer, I don't know what to read, there is a lot to look at, I want you to show me. I don't believe the site is doing that right now. For example, the menu. each time on the menu should be a different, and easier to read, color then the description of it. Having it all caps and one font pt or so larger really doesn't help the eye break them apart enough. It should be as easy as picking an apple from and orange. Right now it feels like picking a honeydew melon from a musk melon... in other words, the subtleness is ruining the readability. You can change/fix that by playing with colors and spacing. I like the spacing so I suggest you just work with the colors a bit hope this helps you with ideas to improve :) PS: I dont think spasming is a word On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 20:05:00 -0800, Debra Reese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi List Members! > Could anyone spare a moment to give some general comments about a site I > am working on? > > The site is: > http://marketstreetgrill.net > > I'd like to hear from willing Mac users.
