The company I'm working for needs me to have a redirecting link on the main page of the old website. They still want people to go through the old one but wants people to know that the new one is up. It's not complete yet I needed to do a pop up message to tell people that they can go to the new website if they want.

Want to know your thoughts on the design of the pop up.

It's all far too busy, if you hadn't told me that there was a popup, I would have been stumped as for what to do for longer than I would deem acceptable.

Some suggestions:

  • Let the white translucent overlay on top of the popup's background image extend all of the way to the bottom, currently the darker colours of the background image combined with the dark button colours and the large area of red on the underlying page make the buttons blend in too much.
  • Make the dark overlay that the popup sits on to of darker. Perhaps make the shadow darker too?
  • Get rid of the gradient at the bottom of the "header".
  • Get rid of the big black arrow between the two logo's, perhaps replace it with the text 'IS NOW'.
  • Instead of "SAN MARCO USA IS NOW ROMA" and "VIST ROMA" (you misspelt the word visit btw!), try "WE HAVE MOVED" and "VISIT THE NEW SITE".
  • Get rid of those silly paint buckets.

I congratulate you for being creative, but less is more! You've made things too busy, which will only confuse your users! Try to keep things simple.

I really don't understand why you're making this a popup though, if the new website is ready to use, then the old site should be replaced with a static splash page explaining the move, with a big link to the new website.

The new website looks MUCH nicer btw!

Though surely "NEWSSTAND" is two words isn't it...?

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
