Hello everyone! Just allowing some background info. first.
That is my first page to ever design and style using Photoshop. I’ve been majoring within graphic design for about per annum now and I took an internet design class that had related to only using codes instead of with Photoshop.
I recently got employment helping this firm re-design their site. The previous developer quit and the actual boss offered me personally this awesome possibility – I told him I didn’t have very much web designing knowledge. So for a tad bit more then a week I have been working presently there, creating this style and design:
I recognize the images used may not be that great within quality. That is because I had been just using what the previous web designer was using the services of and I get way better pics in the future. I also applied 2 different sans serif fonts.
Oh yeah, the " Find us in action" box might be an embedded myspace video.
My organization is looking for a few criticism/advice/suggestions, what people like/don’t like or anything else.
They layout will be down the middle of the page.
Bless you for reading!
I like like the sleep security guard… it justifies having a motion sensing digicam.
MDSU… I don’t know what that implies, and probably noone else does either.
Never have things about the main page men and women don’t understand. Make me, the person,
need to click on things. Entice me into buying the items. Offer some sort of pricing,
regardless of whether it’s some discount on specific items. Getting a quote will administer me too extended to
find, and I know will probably be a long form we don’t want to prepare. So I’ll simply go elsewhere.
See spinning program so well The main page doesn’t really inform me anything that I have to know.
Hazarding some sort of guess – otion etecting ensor(Security) nit
However mlseim is appropriate – don’t help to make the visitor assume, make them responds – positively. See it as the internet equivalent of the sound bite on the news. Clear, concise, memorable.
Latest favourite joke:
A clergyman, rabbi, lawyer, and doctor approach a bar. Your bartender looks upward and asks, " That which is this, some sort of joke"
Bless you mlseim & AlphaMare, it is a symbol of Mobile Digital Sentry Unit although its basically a motion detecting sensor model! I’ll take a person’s advice up and implement it while in the page. I was just concentrating on making it appealing vs. putting facts on it, but I could see now how which is a pretty important error!
To my opinion it feels just like everything is also big, and your website is too extended (I assume everything is likely to scale down while coded, though). With the selection bar I dislike the fact it’s split in two sections. Additionally, what’s the take care of the three links with the lower right inside footer Are those going to the same pages because Learn More backlinks above them If you have, then that’s needless. Finally, the Get A Quote button smack dab down the middle of everything seems sort of out of spot.
About the plus side I do think the color system is good.
I actually like his or her current site far better:
http: //www. secure-video. com/
I can quickly know:
What they greatly.
Why they greatly it.
Where they greatly it.
Once they made the buttons smaller, I would leave it began seeing it is.
I’m going to scale it down! And I will likely change the navigation bar!
Oh yeah lol, I guess WE should re-think an entire layout to where it is equivalent to their own current one. Bless you.
What others have said, although There’s no doubt that there’s a delighted medium between the two.
Have a quote… put THAT down the middle of your nav icon. That’s what you wish people to complete. Make that differentiate yourself. You can eliminate the domain in order for you from that sections… people already know where these are, and if they don’t, they have address bars to consider.
If you ever find a consistent size for your images for that four boxes (I’d state 150 x 100), next you’d have one thing. Alternatively, you is able to use landscape images and fill your boxes with text underneath. Now if you would like to save some space and provide something visual, what can be done is have one box in your four ideas twisting in and out of it using jQuery. Criminal record search make a rather big box and still have it be effective.
I think you’ve got the right idea as well as the right color scheme in your new website typically. What you’ll want to do is what an individual already said my spouse and i. e. adjust your layout to fit the existing content, unless new things is coming on this phone.
Thanks! Took you on the " have a quote". Not so sure if your arrow button is important.
jQuery is really interesting and I actually wish to somehow implement part of it into our page, maybe having a gallery of the products or some sort of animation I could implement to the design.
The left half will remain the same just as the current site. The suitable content will change because you go to each page.
The following is what I cam way up with:
There you go! That looks a lot better.
I like the video for the front also…
particularly when it’s short ample to keep
our attention, yet compelling.
If you possibly could keep someone against your site
pertaining to 10 seconds, you may probably get them
to click further into the site. That’s the
complete point… hook em, plus sell.
Criticize Thrilled!!! It’s way as well red, and far too narrow. The white wording on red is usually a painful (sincerely) higher contrast, and the particular red on dreary is terribly low contrast. The margins are far too big, and the padding way too small. The banner is horrendous, and normally it looks amateurish.
With a positive note, I can tell there are a good eye. Keep at it, and I’m sure you’ll be a great wp site designer. Cheers.
I’ve have to disagree with smoseley, I like the white text for the red background. Since the red isn’t 100% red-colored, but a shade of it, There’s no doubt that it looks very good. However I do agree how the margins, paddings, and white space has to be worked on. Move the " Circle Outfitters Security Supplies.. " box up a tad, the social social networking box down, along with the buttons to the left of the video up rather. Align boxes using other boxes then it doesn’t look just like they’re floating arbitrarily.
Second template looks a whole lot better, though.
I agree. The second format does look a whole lot better.
I’d leave this arrow in about the " Get a new Quote" button for the time being. The thing having that button is always that it’s one of your calls to activity (the other staying the " Call Us" page), so you want to draw attention to it for getting people to click it. The arrow accomplishes this purpose.
We’ve absolutely no problem using the white on reddish. And high contrast is almost never a bad point. In fact, it’s a little bit of forward thinking against your part, as a number of countries (e. f. England, Canada) are extremely quietly instituting internet accessibility laws of which contrast ratios pose an important component. The Reports aren’t there yet, from what I can gather, but I do not think they’re far down.
I would move the " Find Us In Action" towards the left, put among the list of big red boxes for the top right, move each of the grey items together for the bottom left, after which it leave all the limited red boxes within the bottom right.
http: //juicystudio. com/services/luminositycontrastratio. php < — this link explains the nature of the tool and what is required to be done. I always try to find color contrast ratios as close to 7: 0 to 1 as you can without going under. They usually determine well once WE hit them.
Bless you everyone!! I agree the banner will be pretty bad, the caliber of the pictures aren’t that great + it is not very imaginative. I was only working what I became provided with on the previous web custom made.
Anyhow, I took TheGAME1264’s url he provided and played around along with different colors. The colors Thought about were rated like 1 lol.
Here is what I created:
A bit of too pink to get my liking. You can return the red because you are not putting text within the background now.
Well, thought so very. Re-edited my publish with original reddish as my background.
I favor they grey history.
I just like the red with whitened text better me.
You will end up getting different experiences from everyone.
I’m accustomed to seeing signage (security areas) having red signs w/ whitened lettering.
The form in post #10 addresses (" beware — notice" ) to my opinion.
