Can you guys look over this template I made for my Senior Project. It's going to be for a local coffee shop. http://mogaard.ath.cx/fm/files/dcole345/index.html This is just a template so far... no links work. The nav bar is the color of the shop floor The header color is the color of the coffee shop walls... What would you change?
I think the header area looks a bit too plain, some nice vector abstract images faded in the background would look nice.
I would: 1. Get rid of the table borders. 2. Remove the colors around the Home, Map, Menu, History, Images, Community Room, and Contact Us links. 3. Break up the paragraph text more.
It may be a good idea to place a hot coffee cup in the empty place of the header, the color spots around the menu items are interesting but they may be wider in order to make the words there easy to read.
I think u need to add a more modern feel, maybe brighten the colours, either make them blend nicely, or really contrast, what u have is inbetween which doesnt really work, maybe work on the header as others said, hope this helps!
I think it looks pretty good, for a senior project you seem like you are doing ok. Like another poster has mentioned, I would get rid of the borders around the tables, I think the site would flow much better than. Best of luck!
