Website Review and Suggestions

**FloodFixer** · 10-05-2010, 03:38 PM

Hello,

I have recently been working and updating Covenant Restorations Inc. website and I would appreciate any feedback.

I believe I would like to change the background to a lighter color eventually and add a favicon, other than that I have just been working on getting video and images to add as well as more content. I spend the majority of my time building backlinks and content whitehat style.

This is built on Joomla with a Rockettheme Template.

Any thoughts would be helpful..

Thanks in advance.

Looks very nice..

Probably a little too dark.
I also dont like that "water" image you have as a header..

Otherwise
Good stuff

I think design is beautiful. Not too dark.

Thanks for the input.

The water backdrop is the clients request, eventually I should be putting a flash intro into that banner area - pretty much covering up most of that backdrop.

Not too dark?

How dark do you need it?

If this site is for business then DARK is really the wrong way to go... except you deal with graphics

Excuse me, but this is the forum for website reviews...not keyword link drop your website for "seo" benefits.

Why is dark wrong for a business website in your opinion? Such generalisations are useless as productive criticism. Light/Dark for business websites is a matter of client/designer taste and target market receptiveness.

Many commercial websites in the fashion, design and entertainment industries are dark/black. Are they all 'wrong'? They're business as well...

Floodfixer, I don't like the content areas having the same black background colour as the layout background. I think a very dark blue taken from the water graphic woul suit better and serve to make the content cells come forward, more pronounced...

black and blue, Looking very good color combination.

**websitedude** · 10-09-2010, 09:40 AM

internet explorer cannot display page?

**tahoecale** · 10-09-2010, 11:38 AM

i think the design looks sweet! nice job but i would like to see it not so dark it kinda makes it hard to read the white writing i would go with a light blue or some thing like that

**alextr** · 10-11-2010, 07:52 AM

It looks good and it does not hard to read. I'm not sure I would have pick black skin for Water Restoration. Seems to me that colors associated with water will fits better

**lelooman** · 10-11-2010, 07:54 AM

the header is not really ok! that big banner on top of the page! the footer is super on the other hand!

**FarrisFahad** · 10-11-2010, 09:06 AM

I didn't really like the black part of the website, I think It will look better if you replaced
black with white

I agree - making the site more "blue" would help to lighten it up somewhat - and dark sites for business work, for certain business types - but I am not sure if a dark template works for this business.

lelooman,

Yes I have squashed the banner somewhat on every page but the Home page - I would actually like to free up more space - I am a big fan of having everything fit (for the most part) on your screen -

alextr
I agree - more blue (water colors)

websitedude,
What version of IE? I am using the latest (64 bit) and have no issues, also I ran compatibility test, and except for some funky css issues here and there, most other browsers rendered the site correctly.

Thanks for everyone's review! It really does help

Ya not my design or choice

**TWD** · 10-14-2010, 08:12 PM

Yeah, the logo looks a bit cheap and nasty.
But maybe you are stuck with it.

The default font size needs to be bigger IMO.
