Design advice plz :)

Hello. I'm making this for a client. He doesn't seem to like it too much so far. Any suggestions appreciated.

He said it looks a little cold and dead.

 

I like it but if he finds it cold,
you could change the colors in something yellow / orange / red ?

 

He said he wants blue. The header was already done. I worked below it.

BTW, I can't edit the header. He said not to change it.


Thanks for the advice though

 

what about a darker blue?

 

Looks a lot better Thanks

I didn't talk to him yet. Anyone have any other suggestions?

 

if it's a travel website add in some pictures of relevant information. A floridian beach, colorado mountains, Ney York City, Las Vegas Strip.. pictures of places that will lighten up the mood. Obviously pictures of cities and things of that nature will brighten it up more than a beach or landscape.. Have some thumbnails the favorite state section for example with a great picture showing that state.

 

instead of blue-->grey, what about blue--> red. it would be a bit more 'fiery'. less 'cold'.

 

It's a job website




At the other person. The red didn't work

See an example of Red and Blue below:

 

Have you considered changing the background colour of the tables to something with a tinge of warmth: orange, yellow. Not enough to distract, but enough to make the page look less cold. Although changing the colour of the headings to a vibrant red would "warm things up", it would also wreck the design, I think. Nothing too drastic!

 

Actually, in webdesighning.... custumor never satisfied by first review or first project ...... He always think if he refused may be it will again more better... And yeah thats really work... see your first and 2nd example...

 

It actually quite like the design - seems professional. You could always try adding somebright icons to brighten it up (next to "SignUp", "Newest Users" etc...

 

In addition to pictures of travel destinations, perhaps you have have an idea for a funny animal mascot? That would warm things up a bit, I would think.

EDIT: My bad. I didn't see your "Job Website" reference before. In that case perhaps you could come up with a Job mascot like Monster has here: http://media.monster.com/mm/usen/home/06/trump_login.gif

 

He wants to keep the BG. :/

It looks so much better now.




and he's liking it. Any other comments/suggestions appreciated

Thank you so much <3

 

Green is a warm color so nice you have some green in there. Some images would be nice. Otherwise great site

 

I got a popup

it is dead as far as I'm concerned soon as I get a popup I leave never to return.

so yeah dead and cold.

 

I think it needs a good logo, something recognizable.

 

nomax5: Thats because its hosted on imageshack.us and they give pop ups on all hosted images.

And i aggree with checksum, a nice logo would do the job!

And for the logo, he doesn't want the top changed. He really likes the design now

Perhaps some orange would warm it up a bit.
