jackwanders Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 This is my first real web design/contracting job, and I have finished two designs for the site. The first one I did about a week ago, rather hastily, and can be found here: ThreeCirclePlan.org This morning I finished another design, which I think looks better, but I want everyone's input: New Design Please tell me what you guys like and dislike about the two designs, maybe I'll merge the two somehow if there are pluses about both.

0 thingsforjason Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 the new design is a lot cleaner. :) but you need to define a background color on the pages, because not everyone's browser bg defaults to white. it's making the white of the title image stand out...

0 jackwanders Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 It's not about what we like, it's about what your customer likes.... I have pretty free reign over the layout of each page and the graphical design. He's more interested in the content. Basically I'm putting forth design options and he says 'yes' or 'no'. So until he contacts me again, I was hoping to hear your opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I set up a .css so that shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jackwanders Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 thingsforjason: I added this to the .css: body { bgcolor="#FFFFFF" } That looks right, no? Could you load the page again and see if it works? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 jackwanders Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 I think the entire design is a little bland, however that may be what he's looking for.... We decided that we do not want an overly "decorated" design. The point is to let the content speak for itself. However, does anyone have any advice on how I can improve the "layout" of the site, leaving the current graphics? For instance, would a border around each page help, should I left-justify instead of center the page, etc, etc.. Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

0 jackwanders Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 Here's a little something I added to the home page: New Home Page Can you guys visit that link and tell me if the colors all match up? Mainly, does the border around the page match the page background? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
