    Hey guys,

    I am putting together this charity website but for some reason the homepage don't look quite right, it feels like it is missing something but I am not sure what

    Diabetes Charity

    Just something about it, please let me know if you can think what I could put on there.

    Thanks!

    HI ,
    I think maybe you could play around with the text, one big block like that isn't to atractive, if you broke it up a bit it would be easier to digest. Also try changing the margins and perhaps adding a few boxes with info in them or some other shapes, its just a bit simple. Anyway thats just my opinion of course,
    good luck

    Like alisha said, the format of the text could use some work. Why don't you try a two-column layout?

    As for the text, the order of the paragraphs is kinda off. To me, it makes more sense to: start with a welcome message, explain who/what we are, describe the event that's taking place, then give prices/purchasing info.

    And I think it looks like a candy site too :)

    I agree...

    Isn't pink the colour they use for cancer charities and things? I'd need to check what colour is most commonly associated with diabetes.

    Yeah diabetes is also pink, not as pink am the site but here is the official diabetes logo

    [​IMG]

    I guess I could try making the background a lot less strong or something.

    oh right.

    Yeah try tone down the colors a bit, at the moment the background screams out at me, the content doesn't.
