Website Review and Suggestions

**pealo86** · 03-25-2008, 06:19 PM

I posted a thread a couple of months ago with a mockup of a template for a website aimed at students.

You can see it here:

Ive took into consideration some of the comments that were made and have started to create the actual pages themselves. I haven't started on the whole development side of the site yet, I want to get all of the pages right first.

Here is a screenshot of the main page as it is currently:

Any feedback would be great

Pretty good design

The blue header graphics would look better lining up with the box underneath and needs padding to the left of the text.

Thanks! Do you mean padding to the left of the text that act as headings in the boxes on the left hand side? That's on my to do list lol

Those people moving slightly on the right made me think my eyes were going funny, I had to look twice which I supose is a good thing, I like the design though the reflective images are very nice.

I like the design and the fresh uncluttered look. The blue color is a bit too much for my eyes though. Did you create the site with Joomla?

Thanks for the comments!

Nope, all done using Dreamweaver and Photoshop, with the CSS handcoded

Heyyy thanks! Its going to be aimed at uk students. Where they can talk about their course / uni and have other social networking features. I'll add more things as the site progresses aswell.

Thanks, I was thinking of maybe including something like that, possibly another colour such as green.

Im never any good at including multiple colours into web pages though!? I think I'll use different colours for each of the boxes on the left hand side. Any ideas where to include other colours? Maybe the text or something?

I think I'll try changing the nav bar from grey to green or orange, and stick to those colours throughout the site!
