I would like a complete honest opinion on this layout Ive created so far.

-what you like
-what you dont like
-what you would change
-color scheme blend well?....whatever comes to your head first seeing it

There is going to be a lot of different pages as it is for a gallery of this ladies art work So i want to get all the bugs out of the layout before I finish up the rest.

Okay. Its a very unique and creative design. I don't know if it is just me, but the colour scheme is a bit bland for an artists gallery! Shouldn't it be colourful? I don't know! Also, the nav bar, you could seperate that off from the main site. I love the border. Maybe somewhere in the header, you could whack in "Artist" as i wasn't quite sure what the site was for until i read the slogan. I dunno!

Overall, GREAT site, fantastic job mate.

8/10

Hello,

Overall I like the website. However, I don't like that A - Z font you have selected. Other then that I think you did a great job.

The header looks great, the A-Z looks OK to me.. the picture of the lady looks fine - the rest need a lot more work. The layout is not quite right if you look in ie6, the colours (brown) is not great. The links on the left are too bland - the text on the right means nothing to me - is she selling art? why not say so - right there at the top of the page. There needs to be examples to entice people into the site, thumbnails would be fine - I would consider reworking the page.

Just my 2cents of course, but I figure she wants to make some sales and I don't think that site would generate many.

James.

Welcome To Woodstock's Garden Of Eve!
As a tagline, it doesn't really tell me anything about it.

Quote:
Just look at this website as, "A Catalog In The Sky".
How about: "Please look at this website: -- but what is a catalog in the sky? Do you mean it's a catalog of all or most of her work? Do you think anyone surfing the web doesn't already know what a web catalog is? Why is there a comma before the name? (It's not speech, and you might do better to use italics to set the ... well I think you should dump the whole phrase because it doesn't really add anything....)

Quote:
The order blank is in the "Information"(I) page.
How is anyone to know there is a link here if there is no way to tell? (Italics do not signal the reader it's a link; so it's not a good choice.) Either use a different color, or preferably, put back in the underline. You don't need underlines in the left-hand menu because its purpose is clear.

And, that left-hand menu -- is that just a list of the kitchen-sink-and-everything? Does she sell all that stuff? Find some sort of higher level organization and break it up. The type is also very small. Oh! I just realized that the A-Z matches the left-hand menu (doesn't it?) (What the heck is Zappy? Isn't that just too cutesy for use?)


Quote:
This website is my creative garden.
And that means what? How would that attract anyone to come into the site?

Quote:
As this being a web site the colors may be slightly different from the origonal artwork.
Original is spelled wrong. "As this being a website" is not grammatical -- do you mean 'because it's a website you have chosen different colors than her artwork'?! Oh, or do you mean, the pictures on the web of the artwork won't show the exact colors of the actual artwork? It's not clear in any case.

There's an odd change in footer height at the right. The URL/website name at top is completely illegible - I have no idea what it says. I like the ... hat with ribbon?... at the top left. I think the site would work better as a commerce site (if that's its purpose, and that's not clear) if it showed more of what she offers -- that one picture she's holding doesn't lead me to want ot enter her site any further.


It is pretty, although it's very much one-color and the color doesn't much go with her artwork shown.


I'm not trying to dump on you -- just throwing out everything that occurs as I look at the site.

SnowTao -

I honestly appreciate it...I labled the thread "SMASH THIS LAYOUT" lol

I dont really know what else to do with the links the the left hand side really. It seams like a small space to break it away from the main content of the site though but your right I do need to do something with it.

I feel the A-Z links was a bit much as well but she thought it was the best idea she came up with as far as the site goes.

And overall the site color scheme I was trying to keep very bland so that your eyes moved more towards the artwork when it will be posted...but maybe I did the exact opposite? So I use different colors...add more....

TownDeeds -

I believe the color is maroon to red almost. I guess I can sort of see how it looks brown though.

As a general....The pages content is nothing right now of course Im just smashing this layout

~!THANKS TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO POSTED FEEDBACK AS WELL!~

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

Generally speaking, the mystery meat navigation is a bad idea. If you want to leave it, there should be ALT text or something on the mouseovers so users at least have an idea what they're clicking on.

Also, you might vertically center the links in the footer box.
