My New Business' Website

Featured Replies

Just completed the re-build and design of my business' website. Finally starting to get the hang of divs and css.... even got some PHP scripting going on in there too! chuffed!

Please take a look and let me know your thoughts.

 

Have a good christmas! :santa_cheesy:

I like the typography in the header but the middle and bottom sections are little boring. may be you could play with fonts here too just like the header.

I like the website :) Like the little bird character :)

 

Merry Christmas to you too :santa_cool:

I have tried to keep the design very clean and simple.

 

Every other website that I have come accross doing my lign of work have been very cluttered, dodgy cliparts, animate gifs etc...

What the hell is Cufon? I have googled it, and looks very complicated!

 

Will it make my headers smoother and more attractive?

 

Sam

With the use of Cufon, sIFR or typeface you may use fancy non web-safe fonts in your website, you wont need to crop images for fancy headings. best part is they all are SEO friendly. so in your body you may use a decent and elegant font in headings to make them sexy :)

The only thing I do want to get in to it, which I have no idea about how to do it.

 

Is to create a genuine blog & RSS feed. Way out of my abilities!

Hmmm that sounds interesting! Who on here has used it? I want it to be reliable!

 

Sam

 

We have used cufon and typeface hundreds of times in our company. cufon is more popular but personally i like typeface. 100% Reliable

Nice look and feel, header is bold and stands out well but a bit wordy in the contents side of things.

 

For fonts try using @font-face it's very reliable and works a treat.

Trying using Cufon to replace heading fonts (h1, h2, h3, ...)

Will give a more pro look overall.

Not wishing to sound like devil's advocate, but I think it's important to say that cufon will not give a more professional look. Good use of typography will give a more professional feel, and that could involve the use of cufon, but if you don't know what you're doing, you could just end up with no improvement or making it worse.

 

And I think typography is what's stopping your nice site from being a very nice site. I find the font size to be too small, and the columns don't have enough breathing space. I'd even go as far as to suggest a single (narrower) column of text, with the easy as 123 bit as side content.

 

I think the footer can tolerate the smaller font size, but I'd like to see it moved down a little to give more breathing space.

 

I like the concept though - it has a nice feel. :)

I have to agree at the moment it looks a bit tired

Thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciated.

 

I thought the very light gradient background gave the whole design a bit more depth!.. I will have a tinker later on and see what I can come up with!

 

Sam

Overall I like it.

 

Being picky I would prefer the first three columns to be in the order

 

What is an EPC?

Do I need one?

Online EPC Providers.

 

To me this would be a logical order of introduce the product, does the customer need it, if so this is where to get it.

 

A personal opinion would be a bit more space overall. It's hard to say exactly where but maybe a little more line height and a fraction more space between the paragraphs.

 

Good job though.
