nice design, but only half screen...

and price for what?

**branedge** · 03-18-2009, 01:07 PM

size/layout requested by client. I haven't charged the client yet....looking for ideas for price to charge.

I don't like the navigation below the fold. You will lose people on the index page because the navigation is not easily found, you are not showing them what else the site has to offer. Also, your navigation isn't consistent. Some pages have navigation on the bottom, there are at least 2 pages that have no navigation.

There are many threads throughout WT that discuss pricing. There are a lot of variables...how much time did you spend with the client, on design, on coding, what advanced features does the site use, how much experience you have, etc.

The navigation starts to low on the page. I like how you have the website aligned to the left I think it really helps this particularly design. The header (flash) does not blend well with the images and the compass. Maybe if you feathered them together using Photoshop it would look more appealing. Overall you have a very good start on your website. I like the 3 column feel, not every website can pull that off. You have arranged your information in such a way the visitor does not feel overwhelmed with information. Great job!

Its a nice site but as was said before the navigation is too low, and also you need to centre the webpage, I am on a 16x9 monitor and it looks all funny pushed over to the left. I personaly dont like this at all.

Not bad. That looks clean and well.

One thing. The content under "A Passion for Exploring The Alps" will look better if the paragraph is aligned as "justify"

That will make it look formal.

Not bad, if you center the whole design it would look a lot better i think

**igniz** · 03-19-2009, 02:35 AM

For me a Justify Content and a Logo modification.

Price? free.

The left side of your logo is sized wrong so it looks bad. It also does not go with the pictures on the other side of your banner. The text should be centered, not off to the right. This makes me not even want to read it.

Put the pictures on the far right side and center the text. Take the user review on top of the navigation and move it to the bottom of the navigation. Fix the banner. Fix the grammar in the text. Shorten the height of the map image.

After you do those things, then we can talk price.

not bad . better than mines.

Nice design, clean and very easy on the eye. The light brown looks a little washed out though, I'd darken it a bit.

What frame rate is the Flash movie running at? It looks a little jerky to me so I'd consider re-publishing it at a higher FPS.

In terms of price . . . you did the site before agreeing a price? I don't know what to say, I've never done it that way round before. If I were you I'd just take a guess at the hours spent and times it by your hourly rate. You can't say fairer than that.

The overall design and layout is nice, I'd move the navigation above the fold which will make for easier browsing of the site.

**nativewest** · 03-20-2009, 06:22 PM

I think your site looks great, colors look good to.

**BiggestLoserFan** · 03-20-2009, 07:08 PM

Would look much better centered i agree

**barsha** · 03-21-2009, 12:47 AM

beautiful design. And the picture you have use in slideshow, these are really beautiful

**tanapatcha** · 03-21-2009, 04:13 AM

nice and should center the whole !

**Teena717** · 03-21-2009, 11:18 AM

nice but i think design changes are must

**tim84** · 03-22-2009, 08:44 AM

I suggest maybe you can move the navigation menu to the top of the page just below your banner? It allows visitors to locate the navigation much easier I think.
