Heres a link to the site as it looks online, I have re-designed some of the graphics. Untitled Document

The site is not working, meaning you can't order anything, and many of the pages are not completed. I do have some roll-over effects that are operational though....

    I would like to see a little content on the bottom of each of the three packages. A nibbit of what they are about. But that's just me. Color layout is appealing.

    Nice layout, good use of colors.

    Only dislike the black borders around the three examples at the bottom. You might also want to have more direction towards where you want people to go next. Like the arrows you see at squeeze-pages, but more subtle

    Too many bright colors, too much contrast ... looks very unprofessional to me. You're trying to emphasize too many things at the same time ... so in the result everything looks the same.

    When will people understand that contrast is relative within the website? When you make everything huge, nothing stands out ... when you make everything small, nothing stands out.

      I disagree. The site is not too much contrast at all. the over-sized buttons and logo are nice and shiny, and "web 2.0-ish" (cliche way to describe i know) and those looks are in right now.

      I also love how straight forward your site it with no fluff sales talk crap etc.

      thanks for sharing

      I think it looks pretty sharp. My only real critique is that I find the black text on blue pattern makes the text blend in. Perhaps a different colour would make it stand out better?

      Goes to show you how peoples perceptions can be way different...

      Look a that guys website in his signature area. Thats the first thing I did, just to see if this person had somekind of bias. And just as I expected, their site was all gray tones, black and white with just about no color at all other than icons ........

      I guess if you think only gray toned black and white sites can be professional then his opinion can be considered correct .......

    Very nice. I like it.

    The one thing I might modify -- but it's certainly not a deal killer, so to speak -- is to pick one less color for the top 1/3. You have two oranges, green, two blues (counting the ribbon thiingie). If you just make one of the oranges more related to the other, that'd work.

    I know I'll certainly keep you in mind for future work.

      Thanks alot, I just changed the orange top, the problem is that they are both gradients and they were the same gradient colors for sure, but the top background stripe only showed the darker colors of the gradient, while the middle orange background had the full gradient spectrum of oranges I was using.

      I agree and saw that the oranges were off but had forgot about trying to match them better...

      I think it looks great. Eye catching w/ good color choices. However, the picture on the bottom right (mega money by JJ) I'm not sure what that is. I have never seen any type of product in that style case. Looks a little odd to me. Maybe you can change it with a software case look. Just my opinion.

      Thanks, I definately as designing have been believing to make the site be a blessing to anyone who looks at it, meaning that its something that is easy to navigate, look at, peaceful, and all around just a great site.

      Harmony is a good word to use, because I have tried to make it that way and incorporate and balance all the elements together without going overboard.

    I think it looks really nice, although I do find the choice of colors "interesting" and maybe just a touch too "busy" looking. :-)

    I'd be curious to see you split test with a slightly less "bold" site and see how it affects sales once you're up and running.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    P.S. Looking at it again now, I find that my eyes really don't know where to go as your Logo and nav section is about the same size as the blue and orange sections below it - and that logo really takes up a lot of space there.

    I think it's a good choice of colors that work well together. I'm not so sure about the white logo background. It seems a little out of place, like it's unfinished compared to the rest of the color.

    I would watch your load speed also, you are currently around 46 requests which are all images but one (thats a lot). A lot of them can be optimized and also create a couple sprites so you are not loading so much. It will greatly improve page load speed, which should fly being static, but it doesn't because of the requests..

    Your also loading quite a few images for the top navigation, it also is a waste.
    I see you have a slight emboss on the white text, but you could save a lot by just going white text on one background and on hover change the text to what ever instead of loading an entire new image.

    Or if you must have it, sprite the whole navbar. 1 image instead of 14 or whatever is there.
    I see no reason for the footer text to be images, I would get rid of those all together and use text.

    By the time you add opt-in scripts and whatever other trick scripts you will be loading a lot more.

    You could get those requests down to 6 or 7 maybe even less, I didn't look that close.

    Just my thoughts, I do think it looks nice...

      Thanks for the input. I will slowly be changing things over time. This website was specifically designed to be tables and rollover images on purpose as an experiment. Thats why its like it is, it looks good, but definately will load faster as I change things.

      As for optimizing images, Im not to keen on lowering image quality, it always effects the look of the site. But I definately can do other things to speed it up. This site has lots of gradients, which is not good for gifs, but I do believe I can do some slivers of repeat images. I may just recode it all to divs and css vs. tables eventually, as I said it was a experiment, one that I will use for my services still though.

      I agree about sprites, I have not really done that before, although I have read quite a few things about them. I know it can't be too hard, if you have any good tutorials on how to do that, let me know if you can....?

      The logo header is plain and simple, kinda wanted it that way, I basically wanted the site to look organized and easily navigatable and straight to the point, not much if any sales copy.

    I guess I'll be in the minority and say I don't like the color scheme.

    There are too many colors competing for dominance and there is something in the combination itself that is off.

    I like how clean it is, but it does have that squeeze page feel due to the graphic wrap on the boxes. What caused the redesign? Try throwing a light background on it just to balance of the look. Great work though.

    Looks sharp, clean and professional..I like it!

    In my opinion, the only thing I would change is the black border around the bottom box and going through the green header where it says 'examples of quality you can expect'. If you want a border there I would change it to the same colour as the background as that has a dark tone. Also I would widen the middle box a little so the border is the same width all the way round each box.

    As you can see these are minor adjustments and only my opinion...overall I really like the design.

    Nice Work!

    Sorry Steve,

    I felt that was unfair. I actually like many elements of your page! Very crisp, clean. May be one more color than needs to be there (just my opinion of course) but overall, I like the crisp elements (ie graphics) you got going on there.

    Cheers

    Sorry Steve, I'm usually more constructive than just offering an opinion.

    Having a second look and there are some very nice things about your page. My only suggestion (once again, subjective) would be to maybe change the green nav bar to a shade of blue/grey but that's minor and just an opinion.

    Otherwise, good job!

      No problemo, I like all the input, but as you know, many people have varying likes and dislikes. So, I completely understand. The color scheme is edgy, meaning its vibrant and not the norm, but the colors do compliment each other. Some can't handle the contrast I have noticed but many have said its a nice color scheme.

      I still have not put the site into divs, which will make it load much faster, I am sure, because I will replace lots of the color images with just color codes. Just not on my list of most important things to do right now.....

      Again thanks for the input.........

    The site seems VERY sluggish, I would make CSS Sprites where possible, and looking at PageSpeed, you could save tons of size compressing the images (up to 50%)

    You also don't specify the dimensions for any of the images, when the browser tries to render the page, it doesn't know how big the images really are to save space for them, and you get sort of a flicker as the images fill out.

    61.6% of the JavaScript loaded by this page had not been invoked by the time the onload handler completed.

    Move the JS to the bottom of the page, give the browser time to render before it has to parse out what js it needs to run.

    Design looks nice though

    It looks awesome! Very clean, slick, professional, and straight to the point! I dislike the colors though. I don't think that the blue, orange, and green go well together. If I were you, I would either stick to blue/orange or blue/green and vary the colors a bit. I would change the orange banner to the sides of the "eCover Design Studio" logo to a light blue and the center orange part to a grey, blue, or green. I would just play around with the colors a bit! Overall, great job!
