Hello everyone! I've been working on improving website, redmarble.gr, which specializes in the construction and processing of marble and mosaic. Before I proceed with further changes, I would really appreciate some honest and constructive feedback from the community. If you have a moment to take a look, I'd love to know your opinion on: The general aesthetics and design balance. The usability and navigation (especially on mobile devices). The loading speed and overall performance. Whether the content and layout appear professional and trustworthy. Any comments or suggestions are welcome! Thank you in advance for your time!
I often consult Grok about my designs, code and more, and it's right on the money 99% of the time. So, I asked it about your website, and here's what it said: The general aesthetics and design balance The website features a clean, minimalist aesthetic with a vertical, hierarchical layout using simple headings, centered text, and neutral tones (likely whites and grays to evoke marble's elegance). Emoji icons add subtle visual interest without clutter, creating a balanced, uncluttered design that's professional yet approachable—though it could benefit from more imagery for dynamism. The usability and navigation (especially on mobile devices) Navigation is straightforward and minimalistic, relying on internal links (e.g., to a gallery page) rather than a complex menu, which keeps things intuitive. The text-heavy, responsive structure suggests good mobile usability—no heavy media to slow scrolling—but lacks advanced features like a sticky nav or search, potentially limiting deeper exploration on smaller screens. The loading speed and overall performance As a lightweight, single-page site with minimal assets (no videos or excessive images noted), it likely loads quickly and performs smoothly across devices. The absence of heavy elements supports snappy performance, though without direct testing, I'd recommend tools like Google PageSpeed for confirmation. Whether the content and layout appear professional and trustworthy Yes, the content—detailing 15+ years of marble polishing expertise, dust-free techniques, and specific services like restoration and anti-graffiti protection—projects reliability through clear, benefit-focused Greek-language descriptions. The structured layout reinforces trust, but adding testimonials, certifications, or English options could enhance global professionalism. P.S. I suggest making your logo pop more—it’s getting lost against the gray background. Consider bolder colors or a contrasting outline to enhance visibility.
I really appreciate your reply. Honestly, I'm somewhat skeptical about these kinds of tools when it comes to practical tasks.
Your header section is very big ..... according to me you should make it short and attractive .. You can use your big logo to slider (First slide). You should either choose mainly greek language or need to work on english version site .... because error in header (Logo not appearing) ... slider not running etc.. In short you need to work more on your site in this competitive nice market. Thanks
I don’t like the header. The logo doesn’t really look like a logo, and it’s too big. If it were centered, maybe it would look better, but it’s placed on the left, and the rest of the space feels empty. The language icon looks lonely there on a huge, empty background. Then there’s the contact info — the email and so on. It also looks isolated on that gray background. By the way, that gray color doesn’t look nice at all. I personally don’t like it when the content goes full-width. That makes it harder to read. I usually add sidebars, but on the homepage, sidebars make it look outdated, like a website from the early 2000s. So instead, I’d divide the page into sections. Next, the section with “Athena’s marble works” doesn’t look balanced. The title is aligned left, but the description under it is centered, which looks strange and feels off. The call-to-action section also looks strange. The gray color again doesn’t help. Let’s forget the colors for a second — why is there so much padding-top above, but almost none padding-bottom? It feels unbalanced. Not a big deal, but it doesn't look very careful. The footer is okay, but I don’t get why the “Partners” area has only one small banner placed on the left; thus, the empty gray area makes the footer feel unfinished. The gray there isn’t as bad as the other one, but it’s still a sad color. Wherever there’s gray space, I’d add a subtle marble pattern instead — something very soft, not sharp, just enough to show it’s not a flat color. You can use a small repeating texture, like 10x10 pixels, that tiles horizontally and vertically. It would look more elegant. Maybe mix shades — gray, light violet, slightly deeper tones — but keep it subtle. Now, for the other pages - same issue: the text goes full-width. On subpages like “About” or “Projects,” it’s fine to add a sidebar(s). Without it, the page feels too empty. If you don’t want sidebars, you could arrange the info in a grid, maybe with icons or counters (like “10 years of experience,” “25 projects completed,” etc.) — that looks modern and visual. The gallery section is okay, but again, there’s too much white space in some sections. Spacing between sections should always be even. Finally, the contact page. Without a sidebar, it looks too empty. If you keep it this way, move the contact form to one side and add some text or info next to it. When everything is centered on a white background, it just feels flat and sad. Marble patterns images
