Could you guys give me some feedback on this site ...

ledsavvy


how much would you have paid for the logo and also how much would you have paid for what you see there?

also, in your opinion how much would ave been taken to design this site? (a long time say 6mo, or less?)

would have you done anything different to the site? (design wise?)

[MattehCarter]

The logo is very very basic, and isn't very memorable; it looks like it would have been a quick 5 - 10 minute job, therefore I would have only paid around £5 for the logo.
The website design looks very basic as well, and the mark up isn't up to standard, here's an example of why...
<h1>
Not a member yet? <span>some text</span>
</h1>

The h1 tag is for the websites header, which optimizes SEO, so your header should be;
<h1 class="logo">LEDSavvy</h1>

And then you can style the header with
h1 .logo {
text-indent: -9999px;
background: url('') no-repeat;
width: ;
height: ;
}

To be honest, I don't want to sound harsh, I wouldn't have bought this website, and if I did for some reason I wouldn't pay more than £30 for it.

gotta agree with what MattehCarter said...

i hope you didnt pay a lot for this

[zeta_immersion]

wow .... well .. keep it coming ...

the logo I agree it is plain .. as with the site .... code is all over the place, nothing tidy .. nothing flows in basic logic ...

how much would have this site cost?

[lalalawawawa]

^ $10 or so, for the effort?

Honestly, I do not like the design, especially with the rounded corners. Oh, and the logo is terrible (sorry).

Very basic generic design. The logo looks a hash of a Samsung LED font. Being generous £100 at most for the entire site.
Sorry to sound harsh.

It would have taken me about a day at most to do this site. It is running on Wordpress which does a lot of the work for you.

If you're looking for some inspiration... take a look bellow, beautiful, simple, effective.

Best of all, no rounded corners.

Don't think it has any redeeming qualities. Horrible logo (plain text would have looked better than this), the bright blue bars are too bright, the blue text on them doesn't stand out, the red words clash with the blue, the cutout of the photo is sloppy and the "shadow" just looks wrong, even the arrows don't look right.

1) $0

2) I think I could knock it up in about 2 hours.

3) All of the design. It's not a terrible layout (so far as we can see), but it's hard to read (the menu mostly) and not interesting at all.

If you want some tips on coding, send me a PM and I'd be glad to help you out with structuring your code, learning correct markup etc. before you concentrate on making the design look great you want to be able to code pretty much perfectly. What's the point in designing a gorgeous website, when it won't work correctly when coded?

Also, how long have you coded/designed for, what is your experience? If you can give us an idea of this, we can set a price of your skill level.

I've been developing websites for over 6 years now, so I charge £40 per hour for my design services, going off this, I would sell this website for about £40 - I think I could create this within an hour. With regards to website design, I'm still in the very early stages of learning as I've only designed for about 2 years, so for my design services I usually charge about £20 per hour.

With the correct work, time and effort, this site could look great. I mean, the layout of your elements show potential, they just need to be developed further.

Here's a small tip, before continuing with development/design of websites, why not read up on some tutorials? A great website for HTML tutorials would be HTML dog, it's a brilliant website and a good place to start. If you read through this page, you could rule out my first paragraph as you shouldn't need to contact me!

I don't like it at all, but it's okay if you're doing it yourself, however, if it was paid for I'd be looking for a refund (sorry).

It's a butchered version of this: http://para.llel.us/themes/unite-wp/.

looks like a hundred other free website templates available across the interwebs. Wouldnt pay anything for it and a very poor design imo.

[zeta_immersion]

This is for my buddy (I made the server and he had some other guy make the site - "friend")

well the guy that made the website asks

1600 CDN for logo (he said is creative)

(ave no clue on the actual site because I looked at it and the page does not reside on the server and pictures are stored in dropbox, code is f@cked as I only have exp in HTML and some CSS but not wordpress but I can read code and it looks like horse sh!at)

420CDN for 650 business cards

all this done in 2+ months

even though I told my friend it looks like crap and the design is beyond basic he is still puzzled so now I have proof at least that it is crap (he has not paid the guy anything yet (or maybe 500$ or something)

[remixedcat]

I would have darker text on the top nav I can't see much of it.

[+Seahorsepip]

2 months for something like this, thats beyond bad rofl
