Critique this new layout
Hey,
Just finished the 5th revision of this layout. The client I'm working with has set corporate colors: Blue, Burgundy (#660066) and Green) The Green and Blue are in the layout and logo.
Here are my opinions...
Header: The picture of the keyboard is a sample image that will be one of many images (same size) that change with a rollover effect caused by the nav bar. The picture then stays the same depending on the section your in (not too confusing, right?) The Navigation is going to be a dropdown menu, Services having the biggest amount and all the others about 2 or none.
The Sidebar (left): I'm not happy with how it is layed out at all and need some help. The content is pretty much done, except I am looking for suggestions on the highlight color and text color and size. Also the Date is going to be a javascript image that changes everyday.
Content: I like the content laid out with the lines seperating the titles and copyright. Orange Links? (under copyright and throughout the site) How bout that blue highlight color...change it or not?
Sidebar (right): Like how it looks, looking for suggestions on how to make it stand out more...maybe a background with a gradient. The News item under Other News is not real I am just giving you a sense of what items may look like, dunno if I want the arrow and the orange as links, but blue and orange work quite nice with each other.
Thanks for reading the looooong blurn of mine. Hopefully it doesn't scare critics away

Unfortunately your free host doesn't allow direct linking to images. You'll need to put it into an html page for us to see it.

^^that's why coog put "copy this to your browser"
The layout itself looks pretty clean and professional. Nice.

It is kinda hard to critique an image but from what I can tell, it looks nice.
Be sure and post it here when you get the site online so we can see the real thing.

:blush:
hey, it was still early
A couple of quick ones..
Perhaps replace the orange with the teal from the logo? Or vice versa if that's an option.
The keyboard image is getting a little tired imo - almost as tired as those smug looking people shots - ya know? They invariably have their arms crossed and look up at you from their clean white background? I'm really starting to hate those guys!
Oh, did I digress? Sorry.

They keyboard image isn't the only one that will be used.

This is what someone did for them before. The images in the top right are what will be used, or something similar. (rollover the menu)
The site won't be up for awhile yet. After this version of the layout I will probably have a few more than slice it up and then I will have a sample up that hopefully works in ALL browsers and resolutions.
