DoubleOK.com redesign

At first look, the page is quite plain.

The menu is nice. But the pop-up menu has a lot of extra space, you might want to trim those extra space away.

I like the other one better! the rounded edges are really crude! If you fixed that it would look better, but I still like the other one better!

The edges are really bad, and they have a black background but the site has a blue background which doesn't really fit.

I don't like the black box around the logo

The menu is neat, but you should make the second layer (that pops up when I put my mouse over a menu item) smaller. It is pretty obvious you copied the menu from someone else (a baseballl site?) since all the links go to "/pillies","/yankees" etc.

At the bottom , the Banner add i don't think needs a huge oval around it. It might be a better idea to just have the advertisment with nothing aruond it.

THe old one was way, way, way better. There isn't enough colour here. I think black and white could work in some cases, but a more designed look is necessary for that.

The header banner is also really tacky with the ie chrome. Ick. It reminds me of those banner ads that look like form elements or windows alerts but aren't. I hate those

I'm getting a JS error on the menu "doc.bsub.style is not an object". It's just for some of the items though, the ones towards the bottom work. And there's too much space at the bottom of the submenus. Try the script at http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/

Yes- I agree with EVERYONE else that the last design was much better...

1) The logo is a cleaver idea, but it looks really tacky like Megan said.

2) The main text areas are really, really plain. The edges on the white parts are really jagged, and not realy rounded at all.

3) The sub-menu is pretty cool, but it doesn't fit in with the rest of the site at all. Maybe you should make a design around that, and see what you can come up with.

Add more color!

Well then! I am taking a different opinion from the rest. I like this one better.

I disagree with Megan and Justin and I like the logo too. Although i hate those ones that looks like Windows errors and form boxes I think this looks good. I also love the text you used.

I hate your menu though. It is ugly and doesn't look good with the rest of the site. There is to much extra room on the mouseover. I could go on and on but I won't. Change the menu.

The login box is to big. Make that smaller. Make the edges smoother. After that add some more color and it will look much better.

I hate to go against other people but on this one I had to.

I like this one. It is kinda hard to read the orange on that darker gray though.

Like I said before...make the login area smaller. It is huge and doesn't need to be that big.

There is still to much extra space on the menu.

I like the colors on this better too. All and all this one is better than the last 2 I think.

The logo you have on the blue and orange design is hard to read and doesn't fit in with the layout. There is too much white space in the mouse overs and it seems the orange seems to bright. Its a good start, but a little tacky.

It's still pretty basic...

1) Colors go good together.

2) I don't really like the menu script, 'cause the sub-menu's take up too much space. Also- get it out of the white cell background.

3) The logo, I agree, doesn't go with the site. Also- make the bg of the logo the bg of the table cell.

It's better than the last design...

Im a He.

Thank You for all your critique, this is what im planning on doing, im going to keep the current design that is up, but im going to modify it to look better.

If anyone is willing to make me a graphic, as i said in the "job and barter" forum i will give the logo i choose 1000 banner impressions, because as you can see i am terrible at logos.

thanks
