Topic: site redesign (Page 1 of 1)

Hey folks I posted http://x.davetaylorelectric.com here about a year ago and about 2 weeks ago I finished a major redesign of it. Comments welcome, Thank you!

That supposed to be overlapping like that? (Opera 7.54)

so long,

The logo and the site don't mix. The logo is "cool" for lack of a better word. It is semi-3d with an active feel (reds and yellows) while the site is flat, boring corporate (all geys). The two items don't mix and it makes the site feel like you had this nice logo from the client, and then back in the dregs of your hard disk you had a decent template. You then slapped the two together and called it a site.

It didn't work well. I can really see this site shining by getting rid of the greys and following the color scheme of the logo. The reason I say to go with the red/yellow thing is that you can then ignore the content somewhat. The current content is really lacking, especially when your site's design is content-centric.

You have a couple of interesting shots in there. I would recommend that you do some nice jazzy graphics and put some content blocks into the design.

This site seems like it only needs to be 1 page. You make one really jazzed up page that shows the basic contact information and what the site does. Some big bold printing of the phone number with the "Call Now For An Onsite Inspection" type thing in great big letters. You then go on to list your services, and then tell them again what the phone number to call is.

You might put in a couple of links that would give some further information, but these links should only be there for the person who is really interested in further information. Most people will not be interested in that, and will simply want to call and get a quote.

I'd like to see the yellow or red carried into the page a little further, to tie them together better. Perhaps the links text?
