Website Review and Suggestions

Existing: http://www.ycdtc.org
Redesign: http://triplemoonsdesign.com/YCDTC/

I offered to do them a new logo for free, but so far it's been denied. Evidently the president's Dad drew it...So I'm stuck with an outdated logo on a modern site.

Website colors were predefined as the club colors are red and black. A whole lot of content is missing, but you should be able to get a general idea of the site. The 2nd image on the left (the huskey) will be a randomized image of club photos.

century gothic really isn't a font i would choose as your main text. it's very difficult to read, even with cleartype turned on. but definitely (and obviously) an improvement over their previous website.

I prefer the redesign site. It looks more clean and nicer. Its layout is also more organized.

This is the first time I've ever done a Privacy Policy & Contact form pop up page. What are your thoughts on that? Isn't there a way to make them open up in Lightbox? I thought I'd seen that done somewhere...

Change is always better.
Redesign site is better than previous one.

But you can made your logo more impresive.

Think about it.

Congratulations. It's a really really clean and nice design. Simple yet impressive

Personally, I wouldn't modify anyting.

The old design was....old...like 10 years old :P

Sam, maybe you could read the sentences beneath the links in the original post and learn why I can't change the clients logo.

To everyone else, thanks. Keep it coming.

The redesgin looks alot better. It is really too bad they wouldn't let you change the logo to fit more.

The pop up privacy policy might be "annoying" to someone who accidentally clicks it. I like the pop up comment thing though. However, would these be effected by pop up blockers? I dont know much about it, it didn't effect me, but it might be something to look at.

Are the dog pictures on the left going to stay the same or change when they adopt the site? I am just asking becuase it may go more with the site if they were pictures of dogs going "training activities" like on the old site.

Other than that, a very good site.

Yeah, no kidding. I was pretty disappointed...Especially since I offered to do it no charge!

Usually if someone has a pop up blocker they get a warning and asked if they want to view it. I've only seen pop ups blocked if they were automatic, not clicked. I have a pop up blocker on FireFox and because I have to click on it for it to open, I don't have any problems with it. Maybe someone with excess to other browsers with pop up blockers could tell me if they have problems?

Like I said, the 2nd image on the left (what is currently the husky) will be a randomized images of club photos. I'd assume the images they would supply for it would be training photos.
