I'm not the web designer for the company I work for, but I've indirectly been chosen/volunteered to redo the site as I do a lot of design/development on my own time from home. Anyway...our current "webmaster" doesn't like the idea one bit as he thinks the solution we currently have for our site is a very effective solution for our web needs. Please give me your opinions on our current site: http://www.ksba.org And please give me your opinions on the mock up design I threw together is located here: www.deronsizemore.com/layout.jpg By the way, our colors are the Blue/Yellow which you see in the mock up design. That is our actual logo. The current site, I have no idea where that graphic came from. Whether you like my new design or not, please give you honest opinions about our current site as we will more than like use these opinions as evidence that we need a change. Opinions from a graphical standpoint (typography, colors, layout) and from a coding standpoint. Thanks.
the new layout is definatly better. I think that making one of top or bottom grey bars blue would really make it stand out.
That's a good idea...will have to try that and see how it looks. It would have to be the bottom as I don't think a blue background would look good behind the blue letters of the logo.
Thank you. I'll play around with the text and see what happens. I think in certain places too the text could be bigger.
Prefer the mockup/new version, IMO Only thing I wasn't too keen on was the logo- same for both versions logo/s Thanks, Greg
Yeah, I agree. The logo is terrible, but I'm stuck with it. We thought about doing a redesign, but that would mean we would have to change everything around the office (letter heads, envelopes, tablets, coffee mugs, pens, new sign out front, etc) and that would get expensive.
