Pbcrazy Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hey guys, I've been working on this website for a local land surveying company. I just wanted you guys to take a look and tell me what you think of the layout and what not. I'm supposed to go meet with them tomorrow to show what I've gotten done so far, as well as get the details on another project.Please note, the staff page is still under construction.[Dodson-Thompson-Mansfield, PLLC](http://crazestudios.com/dtm.html)Thanks!

Marsh Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Looks nice and clean, did they request that background color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbcrazy Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 They didn't request anything in particular. Just asked for a site.But I'm iffy myself on the background color, I just picked something that went along with the logo colors (desaturated olive and red). Got any better ideas?

Marsh Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Anything but the current color :P.Try some combos and see what looks good together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbcrazy Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hehe, aye. Will do, but that's an easy fix that just requires play tweaking, so I'm going to finish the layout first. The staff page requires lots of text… -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawQuart Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Try a green background. It fits the theme of "land" better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I like the color, but try making it grayer or paler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbcrazy Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Alright, I did a few fixes and finally got a chance to sit down with the client and work out some kinks. They want something up quickly though, and since the rest of the site pages aren't yet complete, I'm giving them the default homepage. Take a look. I think it looks at least a little bit better.[DTM](http://crazestudios.com/dtm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawQuart Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I really like it although the header is a bit too big imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Nothing special; I guess it gets the job done.The footer needs a margin on the top and bottom - it's too close together.The grid system you're using also isn't semantic, but I'm nit-picking now.

Pbcrazy Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 How's that now?@Pete: What exactly do you mean by semantic? Sorry, not one for vocab terms… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 @Pbcrazy:> How's that now?> > @Pete: What exactly do you mean by semantic? Sorry, not one for vocab terms…Basically, it's mixing presentational information with the HTML mark-up.eg, having "class="span4 box"" and the like.The best solution I know of is the [Semantic Grid System](http://semantic.gs/). But, I guess if you're not that bothered about semantics it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbcrazy Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Lol, so essentially just changing the naming convention/method, to something that more resembles language rather than code. Bleh, perhaps if i had to rewrite my own css I might, cause it does look nice, but eh. I like Twitter's Bootstrap, works pretty dang well for me.

Guest Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The warped corners on your divs are not sufficient for IE on windows XP, which being a business site is probably what they are running. Either fix it or make sure the guy you're doing it for is aware.Easiest way to go about it is to have small divs at the top and bottom of each one with images backgrounds for the left float and right float corners. Or you could do like 8 divs of various lengths to build the corners line by line. Up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbcrazy Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Actually, I think it looks fine without the radii. And if I did try to add the images for the corners, more than likely it'd just get forked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
