Ah yes, the client is always right...even when they're wrong.

Rix · 01-07-2009, 05:25 PM

or

DavoAust · 01-07-2009, 05:34 PM

second one, include a staff email login link elsewhere.
you should also read secure your /inc directory, quick check reveals i can browse the file tree at my lesuire

btw your body tag is broken

Rix · 01-07-2009, 05:40 PM

fixed the inc's where is the body tag broken

Pettos · 02-07-2009, 12:08 AM

Hey rupe...

Depending on your audience, is what, i think, determines if links should stay blue

If they're old fogies, then yes blue... But any younger generation... It doesn't matter, they know what things are...

When i worked for racenet, we were always told to have a call - to - action... so in other words "For more information - Click Here"

Again, old people.

Lol its hard for the website i'm making as the target audience is so open we have 90 year olds we do business for to 15 year olds who want their bikes resprayed its hard to cater for lol

Rix · 14-09-2009, 10:53 AM

to me looks alot better...but not sure about the top banner

Rix · 14-09-2009, 11:51 AM

Which bit? the orange-yellow banner? would it look better as a single colour?

RustyKaos · 14-09-2009, 12:00 PM

I like it as it is simple and elegant plus the orange loks good. Just out of curiosity tho the banner looks like a very low res on my comp with jaggies everywhere?

Rix · 14-09-2009, 12:05 PM

is that the black bar?

that?

or do u mean this

Rupewrecht · 14-09-2009, 12:10 PM

Much better. The yellow bar is a bit jagged as mentioned above, and i'd probably move the logo text down into it and/or just make it bigger. You want to make sure people know where they are visiting

bourbon · 14-09-2009, 12:12 PM

both bits...the name doesnt stand out...id preffer that to be bigger...

the big useless yellow banner does nothing apart from grab all the attention...

Its not actually the yellow bar is the brush pattern for some reason.

Ok i'll try this other idea i'll see how that works

hows this

DavoAust · 14-09-2009, 01:19 PM

maybe my lcd monitor but the white links blend into the yellow bars. would makesthem difficult to read for older users.

for the title bar, i think rup meant combine the yellow/orange one with the 'ridgewood powder coating one'. i agree, it looks a little strange to have 2 banners

EDIT: maybe redo the yellow/orange to remove the jaggies, or shrink it to the proper size in photoshop/paintshop and then save it. browsers do a shoddy job of resizing cleanly

Rix · 14-09-2009, 01:21 PM

What do u think of the 2nd design i posted?

DavoAust · 14-09-2009, 01:25 PM

i definately like the first better. the colours catch the eye and work well with the menu

Rix · 14-09-2009, 01:35 PM

How about that?

DavoAust · 14-09-2009, 01:44 PM

better, looks good

Rix · 14-09-2009, 01:47 PM

Thanks Davo
