    I think a nice blue, orange and some green, look at the color hues on the example sites I listed, but I AM open to suggestions.

    **ALSO NOTE** The images you see on the current site are actual business card images. If images like the water mill and Chateau Elan can be used, that would be great as it would give the website a "HomeTown" feel/look.

    I look forward to seeing your entry.

    Looks better, but a bit too much Green.

    Can you use a nice blue (brighter blue) background. I'd like it brighter blue at the top and fading towards the bottom of the page (but not a dull blue). I looked at your portfolio and I like the brighter blues you've used on some of your designs. Also take a look at the blue colors etc used on this site:
    CLICK HERE FOR EXAMPLE

    I still don't see a space for the video on the front page and I'd like to see that and have it somewhere that it will be balanced...maybe to the right side of the page somewhere towards the top part next to view Magazine and Follow Us links.

    The font on the site looks a bit small, can you make a bit larger so that it's more legible?

    I like the banner that says "Money Saving Coupons in Each Issue". I still don't see: "Local Resource & Community Guide" Add that somewhere that it will look good.

    I like the buttons for each city you've created.

    Add a colorful hummingbird hovering over: Welcome to Buford to Braselton.

    Also, Buford To Braselton is still missing something (not sure about the dark gray color). This needs to "POP", grab attention since the site is promoting advertising and branding. Any other creative ideas for that?

    Question: When I open to full size view the site/page only appears on a portion of my screen (3/4 of the page). Will that be the final size?

    Look forward to your updates! :)

    thanks for feedback.

    [​IMG]

    update :
    1. i've change the background to gradient blue.
    2. add coverage map and video
    3. font look smaller it's because the preview it's not 100% actual size. the actual size is 1024 x 2200 px but the content size is fit to 800 px width so it can view by 800 x 600 px monitor resolution.
    4. add "Local Resource & Community Guide"
    5. i'm not sure about hummingbird, it's that what you mean?
    6. header title "Welcome to about magazine... " change color to more brighter and colorfull

    thanks

    Thank you for your entry, but it's too similar to the site as it exists. We need more creativity.
