Hi guys.. just started designing websites in photoshop a few weeks ago and I came up with my first design for a friend.. I need critiquing done, anything that doesn't look good, should be added / deleted LET ME KNOW so I can learn.. not sure if this is the right spot for a design critique but its worth a shot

its for a home improvement company

Edit** so after hearing critiques I updated it.. only thing I didn't work on was the logo.

    it looks really nice, i love the color scheme. Do you plan on utilizing the space in the upper right? would be great for a banner or some social media icons perhaps.

      I agree. What I can say is the look and feel looks professional, but logo doesn't create a nice contrast, kinda being understated. It may affect the credibility of the site.

    I feel lost without sidebars ): Just needs some more direction. You need to actually guide the user as to where to go next. They generally aren't smart enough to figure out that part by themselves.

    Your design is pretty good. But you used small font.
    If you use medium size, I hope it will be more beautiful.

    Over all the site looks really good.

    I would consider using a right sidebar where you can do short excerpts of testimonies on a slider, rotating through several testimonies.

    I like the header but not sure on the Logo.

    Seriously, nice job.

    Yeah I haven't done logos.. not my thing. I feel like I centered it all so it looks wierd, and I might put up sides to see how it looks, thanks for the input!

    looks good but you seriously need to lose the banner on top of the page. if you scroll down a but below the banner it looks great. thats how the site should look. put the 728 x 90 banner above or beloe the "images you will enjoy" section!

    yeah have to work on the logos and maybe add some more content on one side, also going to add some side bars so it doesn't look so open

    I don't know.. It's a little too basic for my liking and there are some fundamental design problems.

    - The logo looks like it took 5 seconds to design, spend a bit more time on this and make it a lighter colour so it contrasts a little better with the dark blue background.

    - None of the boxes align properly, the slider should align with the text and testimonial box.

    - I don't particularly like centre aligned navigation, it looks very 1995.

    - Consider a sidebar to the right, it'll make the website look like it has a bit more meat I suppose? It's just way to simplistic to be taken seriously right now.

    But overall, I like the clean look. Keep at it, it's getting there

    It's nice! I like the color combination it looks very simple but elegant.
    Maybe you can just adjust the width of your text content at the middle part of your site and finalize your logo .

    I hope it will help.

    Its simple but very nice view. You can make contrast between background with text color.

    Looks nice and well laid out, maybe its not a good idea having advertising on the header section though.

      It is definitely not a good idea.

    Header's fine,footer looks good.

    Try focusing more on the content area, add some graphics, improve fonts, etc.

    Good luck!

    The font could be something that's easier to read...
