Hi again everyone, I recently asked for feedback on my site http://ryanpromotions.co.uk. I have now redesigned the site. At the moment it is just one page because I was just wanting some feedback on the general design. There will of course be more content added later.
Again, I'd ask you to bare in mind it is an amateur site.
Please could you just let me know if this is a better design than my first attempt.
The site is at http://ryanpromotions.comeze.com.
Comments appreciated.

Clean can rather than duplicate the same image, enlarge it, and it would float the text to the right or left, the color of the text suggested I color gray and navy blue header only, no menu and to hire employees.

Section of the article pick up a bit higher - I think that there is a need in this place so much light, or add something below - is a large gap to the footer

Thank you for the feedback, would you say this new design is better than the first one then?

yes!

Have you thought about getting away from the free host and having "email@yourdomain.com" instead?

Again, I would either two different images (that both relate to the same thing) or as suggested by previous poster.

Either way its a million times better looking than your last one. Well done

edit:
Make your footer placement relative, rather than fixed. Relative means it will always adjust to the size of the users browser, where as fixed it will always be in x position regardless of browser size.

good luck and keep at it

Thank you, I'm so relieved to hear that .
I think I will just go with having the one image then having the text to the left, and I will also move the footers around on each page.
Also about the email, I am sorting out getting one with my domain in it.
Thanks for the feedback.

I have now published my whole website using that new design I showed you.
Please feel free to take a look and leave comments.

Thanks.

While the new version is far better than the old one, there's still things that should be improved. I'd remove the "Counter & Stats" link at the top left corner, and then move the logo and your email address all the way to the top, with just a little bit of clearing. I'd also have the text as far to left as the menu bar and the heading, and also perhaps keep all the text in one color?

I'd also recommend you use a stylesheet as it would both make the HTML cleaner and the job styling it a lot easier.

Hello

Don't get my opinion wrong (it's for help purpose), but the site is a disaster:

• First of all the code, every single element is styled individually, it's like a huge unreadable wall of text
  
• Content isn't centered, on my screen it's moved more to the right side
  
• Color pick overall on the site (blue text looks bad)
  
• Menu is just, well starting of badly rendered png image of whole menu bar, you can do better looking menu using css only much easier, not to mention links that doesn't even react on hover, have not necessary underline
  
• Footer's font is too small

The only thing that i find quite ok is the logo (Altho it would look better with serif font)

To sum up, you're doing it wrong. Start with some good lecture, like Eric Meyers CSS, if you need more titles just ask.

I have the same centrality issue, everything's a bit over on the right. And the styling definitely needs to be in a seperate CSS file.

Also the background is ever so slightly pink, not white like the logo background (which would probably be more suited to a PNG with transparent background than with the white background!).

I can still see "Welcome to Ryan Promotions" in white in the center of the page too, which I assume isn't supposed to show...

EDIT: I'd stick to one font colour for the body text rather than alternating.

Ok thanks everyone I'll take another look at the coding

Just to steer you in a slightly different direction, the content on the website needs a good look at.

It doesn't matter whether your business operates online or not; online business promotion is by far the best way to attract new customers.

Doesn't make much sense to me.

The world today has made everyone dependent up on the internet.

Not really true, whereas some companies may be dependant on the internet as a means of reaching their customers, others are not.

Quote

I promote your business using different online techniques, including Twitter, blogging, online feeds and I will even make you a simple website if you require one.

Don't forget not everyone will know too much about online feeds, Twitter ect so you need to make this a bit clearer.

In general the prices section needs a look at, it needs clarification and structure, at the moment it just looks like you have thought of the prices and terms and conditions as you were typing.

Remember your website content is equally important as the design, usability ect - Good luck.

I would use the blue from your logo in the menu and footer bars, with light font. The grey you've chosen falls between two stools, as illustrated by the fact you have dark text in the top bar, and light text in the bottom bar, both of which are hard to read!

Ok thanks again for the feedback, I will take a look and change a few things.
