New design needs constructive feedback

Hi,

I like it,
the colours are easy to look at and the blue & yellow go well together. It looks like it will be easy to navigate and the overall layout is nice & clean.
Only changes I can suggest is the yellow menu bar at the top might look better if it touches the header and there is no white line seperating them and it would be nice to see a logo in the top left instead of plain text.

Great Job

Mika

Thanks Mika for the feedback.

I had it without the space but it didn't look right.

Yeah I need a logo bad but I'm not a graphic designer.

Colours are good and layout is clean & easy to read/navigate. At larger resolutions thought it seems to be a bit lost all squished in the top left hand corner of the screen. I think centralising it would help that.

I agree about the FAST Sites needing something more to make i stand out as the site/company name as at the moment that banner overpowers it far too much.

Yea, looks nice except for being all in the corner.

I agree about the logo. How about making "Fast" a little larger so it contrasts more with the "sites" which would be smaller. I would also try bolding the navbar because I think that's a little too boring right now too.

Overal the design looks fine - gets the point across quite easily. You have one too many colours on here though - get rid of that olive green colour on the "Fast Business Solutions". I would also try to provide more in connection with the "Fast Sites" theme - if you're going to call yourself that you should say something specific about how fast you get things done. Like under that most popular package there (which needs a currency for that $199 BTW) you could have "up and running in two weeks" or something like that. Or you could put some text somewhere else saying that a site can be ready in X number of days or weeks.

The site looks great! But the issue for me was size. That page is sort of small.

at 1024 res there is a lot of white space

at 800 res there is still a fair bit

at 640 there is scroll.

I might suggest getting the page to "fit" 800 res.

Overall looks great

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Most of my sites are to the left. When I design I start work from the top left hand corner. The info graphics etc determine the width of a web site and depth of a web site.

"The info graphics etc determine the width of a web site and depth of a web site."

fair enough but this is what I see at 1024 res

I think the logo is better but I would still go with centralising the main table so that it doesn't feel quite so squashed into the corner & lost at larger resolutions.
