website design - what do you think.

Client wants revamp

From www.justchampagne.co.uk

to dev.justchampagne.co.uk

What do you think?

 

[b3nje]

original looks gaids.

good job

need some linkages now - code is all over place ^_^

"passionate about champagne" looks very dull and boring and small and pixely though

 

[ClioGav]

Not bad but i feel it's too similar to the old one and the logo lacks creativity. Phone number looks lost at the top

 

[S22 JGS]

ure divs are messed up when you shrink the browser.

first thing would be to take it out of the gay full screen liquid design and get it into a more modern static smaller design

 

[cava83]

thats how the client wants it, I have tried changing everything, thats the best I can do for him. Old fashioned.

Thanks for the info

Browser issues really annoy me though!!!!

Looks better than the old ones that for sure. Try and get them to get rid of the accredited images at the bottom. Cheesy and unnecessary.

 

[S22 JGS]

browsers suck balls!! lol
just one would be so much nicer!!

 

[ClioGav]

Just out of curiosity how much are you getting paid to revamp this site? or how much would you expect to be paid for something like this. PM me if you prefer

Not for pedantic, internet scared punters...

That logo doesn't really suit a luxury product like champagne. Do you have any freedom with it?

Overall design is ok.. i guess a little boring if i'm honest.

typo in the Testimonial though

and in the disciption

partners to ensure tha you experience

 

[b3nje]

LMAO

"Our product list includes gits with a wide selection of champagne ..

 

[b3nje]

how about adding some "bubbles" to the header of the site only an idea

 

[cava83]

its boring, but the other things he wanted were attrocious,

Will not budge in the logos, JC logo is so bland, but thats what he likes.

Yes the Div is messed up, just converting it from design to html.......

Pain in the bum.

Browsers piss me off, just one standard would be ace.

Regarding price, wow, my company charges a fortune, but its not easy.

Thought I would show you guys

I am still a learner, so any advice, appreciated.

I was informed that the left div should be fixed and the right one fluid. best displayed in 1024 x 768.

 

[cava83]

Just your eyes :rasp:

LMAO

"best displayed in 1024..."

tut tut

it should be "best displayed in all browers and resolutions "

 

[sn00p]

Ahah...So this is the one you've been working on then?

 

[cava83]

True, true, but its hard

Trying here. :dapprove:

Woooop Woooop I am having a camera and some jeans that wont fit me !!!

Won't change anything. Anybody can put those logos on a site. Doesn't mean diddly squat. If you want to reassure consumers there should be a security page detailing what they can expect from the site.

what u mean by static.

gabi, could stick the phone number on the top right under view cart..

 

[172.com]

^^ Fixed width.

 

[furry_cup]

like this? clicky

 

[172.com]

Aye.

 

[furry_cup]

:star:

gabi - this ur first site?

 

[cava83]

fixed width now.

Not my first site, I normally do flash.

all good learning though. Is it that bad ?

 

[b3nje]

nahhh its not!

good job if you're not fully accustomed yet!

practice makes perfecT!

 

[furry_cup]

lol no matey its not bad at all!! i am only on my 6th site and learning!!

got any flash sites you have done?

 

[Adams_16v]

Pretty good, much improved from the original one!

have you designed this for the coders to build the shop backend like?

I would finish the footer off with a bottom shadow to match the sides.

I really hate cross browser support!!!!! arrrrgh

Also I make all my sites optimised for 1024x768 as a bare minimum. Prefered re is 1280x1024

No point making sites that look perfect in 800x600 nowdays. i still cant believe some people still use that res!

its a waste of a lot of space if you do a fixed width site! and it will look too narrow for the majority of viewers!

Also if you have a lot of content, it will be cramped up!

 

[Gweebs]

Nice, trying to create one of my own at the moment. GOD its hard...

The sites my company design/build are usually built to 800x600 as it looks a lot better in terms of content imo. Anything larger and your content starts to become stretched across the screen, which is not the optimum way to read. 800 width is enough for most content sites out there, there's no need to go further unless you have multi-column based sites. There are obvious exceptions (like this site for example), but I'd say most sites benefit from a fixed 800 width frame, and that's nothing to do with resolution. If I do come across sites with a wider frame than that I tend to reduce the size of the browser window accordingly.
