Hi guys,

 

Just looking for some feedback/critique for the screenshots I have attached. I am designing and developing a home styling website for a friend and would like to know if I am going about the design the right way. I am first and foremost a developer so my design skills are limited. I am just starting to get in to the design aspect, trying to learn as much as I can.

 

Added info: I have created the layout using CSS & HTML. Development uses PHP and Jquery/JavaScript.

 

Thanks in advance,

Lyndsey.

Hi Lyndsey,

 

It's a pretty solid layout and colour combination you've chosen so well done for that. The only thing that's really bugging me is that font choice for the nav and logo It's a bit too "in your face" for me.

 

The only other thing I can critique is the sponsor's section at the bottom the info isn't presented all that well and looks a little rush.

 

Apart from those things though great job

Hi,

 

Thanks for the helpful feedback I will have a look at trying out some new fonts etc, see what works best! The footer section is what bugs me the most, as it's too 'plain' and boring. I'm a beginner with design so open to any suggestions for how the layout/content would work better etc.

 

Thanks again,

Lyndsey.

The body text needs a bit more line-height for legibility. 1.3-1.5 (unitless, so it's proportional to the current element's text size) is ideal for body copy at 12-14px.

Thanks Chris, will take that on board.

Colors are looking nice, especially with the slider on top. Enough explained about the font by 4colourprogress. I think the font could be a bit bigger, but it is readable

 

Nice job!

Thank you for the feedback and advice.

Change the font. It makes the whole thing very messy and hard to read.

some nice free fonts here - http://www.fontsquirrel.com/

also use plain/standard fonts for the menu
