Did a Redesign Your Thoughts

[Lenny]

Did a complete redesign. Would like some feedback.

There might be a few display issues, working on them

You can be mean, i dont mind.

Thoughts on anything that should be changed?

Knowing what it looked like before, this is 1000x more aesthetically pleasing.

Have you got a screenshot of what it looked like before?

Have to say, I love the dark colour scheme though. The table borders on the latest news section could be reduced though as they seem a bit ugly ... other than that though I think it looks really smart.

Thanks for the feedback so far. If anyone else has any thoughts would love to hear it either here or on pm or email.

Hey Lenny

My thoughts - I dont like the top navigation bar. not so much the design of it but the colour. I dont think it blends well with the site. Maybe another blue tone would look good.

Same thing for the sub navigation below it. Those two pieces stand out - but not in a good way

I would also add a css rule to links that have been clicked. I have some white, yellow, blue and default blue links showing (yes I visit your site occasionally). I'd personally have visited links the same colour as what your using in your navigation - so white - and just add a css rule for the colour when you hover over them.

I would bold the titles for the article links - I think they blend to much with the text. idk probably just me but I think when link titles for articles are bold, it makes the list scannable.

Overall, its alot nicer than the green design

Thanks Kaus.

Will get the articles and news title bolded.

Also am in the process of fixing the css for the links. Just trying to figure out how to do it.

Thanks Again.

Delete the a:visited css rule on line 37

Then edit this on line 55

.white-link:visited {
color:#FF6600;
font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
}

and change the FF6600 to FFFFFF - that should work ( it did for me in firebug)

[CK]

.white-link:visited {
color:#FF6600;
font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
}

You'll also need to add

text-decoration:none; to that rule so you dont have the underlines.

If you want my brutally honest opinion, I don't like it at all. Here are my major issues:
- The call to actions are really weak (if any)
- There is a lot of text and nothing to make me want to click on any of it. Add more images.
- The design would be okay if this was 3 years ago. It has a very outdated look to it.
- The navbar is horrible - with so many nice CSS ones out there that you can get for free, why not try one of them
- Trying to read any of the text on the homepage just makes my eyes blur

Honestly, I don't think there is an easy fix. If you want it to look really good your going to need to start from scratch with a better designer.
