Hello,

 

I am new here. And I am designing a website for a volleybalteam.

I want some comment on my designs so I can make them better

 

version 1

version 2

 

Thanks

Hoi Netraam (or Alexander?),

Welkom op het forum, uhm ik bedoel: Welcome to the forum.

 

First, the header (picture and the logo text) is to high and provides to little information for its prominence and size. I would at least try to combine the picture and the text by placing the text over the picture and in doing so save, I'd say, at least 100 pixels. Apart from that I will only comment that giving everything rounded corners is a little "last years" fad.

 

The differences between the two images is negligible and I don't think there is a really good reason to choose the one over the other.

It's Maarten,

Thanks for your tips, what I want to do is let the top image change using jQuery

Hello Netraam,

 

Your website looks great to start out with. Have you considered adding some Flash components to it?

You can still do that by placing the image in the background of lets say a header div and putting your logo as a background image in a h2 inside the header div ("removing" the text with a "text-indent: -999em;").

 

Something like so:

CSS:
#header {
width: ...px;
height: ...px;
background: transparent url("iets.jpg") no-repeat left top;}

#logo {
width: ...;
height: ...;
background: transparent url("logo.png") no-repeat left top;
text-indent: -999em;}

HTML:
<div id="header">
<h2 id="logo">Volley Zoersel</h2>
</div>

Looks nice aside from the large header image sticking out. I think it'd look better if you cropped it to fit with the rest of the page instead of sticking out to the edge of the black.

Yes, the large headers are bugging me also ...

 

I'd suggest combining the two so when people visit the site they are not instantly greeted with little content. The idea is to want them to have a look around, and with those headers, they could very well think they're in the wrong place.

 

Not sure about the grey also ... I think I'd probably opt with a traditional white.

 

Hope that helps in some small way.
