Hello,

Been a while since I have posted on here so I thought i would pop back and request some feedback.
I have just finished designing the home page for a small business website, for a cleaning company (the name is not yet confirmed as the company is new) so please excuse the logo.

The website is still in the design phase so I only have a PNG for you guys.

All feedback is welcome.

Thanks

Hello there,

I think you should have some more of that blue in there. You should make some of the titles the same blue as the logo as I don't think that lovely colour is used much throughout the website. Good choice of colours, though, for a cleaner website so Kudos points on that. Overall it seems like quite a nice design.

The BIG three squares in the center seem a bit TOO BIG so maybe try shrinking them down to look like one rectangular bar with three sections because, first impressions for me is the page is just too long and especially for people on small netbooks.

Apart from that, a very good design. Keep it up.

Really nice design, and I think the clean look and feel always works well with any cleaning company website. I think you need to make the body text much sharper and crisper is it doesn't really fit in with the overall style.

Maybe have the "Request A Quote" CTA more prominent? I didn't even realise it was there until I had looked at it for a while. Maybe keep it where it is and add another CTA in the navigation with a red or orange background, with the same sort of saturation as the blue?

Tighten up the drop shadows.

Also, one little nit-pick, on your buttons the border at the bottom (the darker blue) I feel is a bit too thick. Everything about the button I love until then.
