Thanks Simon

Hmmmmm.

That's not great mate.

The logo/script is jaggy.
The colours are bad.
The buttons look very 90's
The banner is flash.
The banner took aaaaages to load.

Is it your logo at the top of the page? Looks very pixelated if so.

 

[Madman]

Revels, could you give me some tips on what i should do to improve it, either on here or through PM.

 

[Revels]

Do you have the font for the logo? Get that re-done at a much better res. It's the first thing you see and it's jaggy.

Have a look for a jQuery plug-in to do your banners. Flash should really be left behind for things like that.

The buttons I just think look a bit 'MySpace' and not really the professional image you want. Same with the boxes/borders and the colours. Black rarely works as a main colour.

Needs a landline number. Mobile number looks pikey.

 

[Madman]

Ok cheers for your input, i will start making some changes.
Any more comments are more than welcome.

 

[Daniel]

I just think the design/colour of the website looks really 1990's.

But I do think the business is a winner, good luck to you. You may even get a call from me this summer! lol.

Looks very "old", much like Daniel said above.

Hiya pal

has this been put together using a "build a website" hosting package? I ask as its all styled in the html rather than a stylesheet, perhaps if you can import a stylesheet or something i could build you something - how has the site been made?

 

[Madman]

Cheers for your comments people all are being taken into consideration.

Pastieman, the only pricing i could put on is some of the drinks, as the bar itself is free to hire

Danny Lee, it was done using a programme called serif webplusx4

 

[Chapppers11]

Just a question related to the business itself and not a criticism, why did you choose not to charge for the bars?

Is that the done thing in the industry?

 

[JackJack]

When you go over the events button the rest disappear.

 

[Danny Lee]

if you want, send me the source and ill have a look

of even just a page if u want me to just test what can be done

 

[Addicted]

Don't use flash, all of that you have done can be done with html/css.

once styled to your liking with modified css it will look exactly the same but be more SEO friendly

New logo, new banner with HTML/CSS, more info at the bottom.

I like the colour scheme and the layout though

 

[Madman]

Chapppers11 most companys supply the bar free, there is a few companys that charge but we didnt want to do that.
We only charge for the bar if there is less than 50 people and also there is a charge for us to make a 1 off bar.

JackJack what browser are you using as it works fine on chrome.

Danny Lee you have PM

Addicted thanks i will have a look at that.

Thanks for every ones help, best i go back to the drawing board.

 

[Revels]

You have the basics mate. Just a few tweaks needed.

 

[JackJack]

IE9 i think mate.

 

[Madman]

Cheers revels for giving me some good advice
