Only cabopino, the property, accommodation, things to do and guestbook pages are up at the time of this post.

thoughts?

Clicky

Something's off with those colors. Can't stand the sun thing, sorry.

And, something's bothering me with the arrangement of shapes and their overlappings...

TOTALLY agreed... that header is quite choppy... try making a bit of a more subtle, yet smooth and horizontally integrated header... AKA one image that takes up the whole space... not 3

pgo · 13-07-2006, 10:07

Code is solid. However, "You can click on any image throughout the website to view them" should NOT be an h1. Make "Welcome to La Lomas de Cabopino" your H1 as it's closer to the top of the source and better for SEO. Also, use image replacement instead of an inline image.

not bad - menu needs more contrast - header is off balance - but I like the style overall.

That no smoking sign is proper invasive and personally I am well bored of thelightbox script - maybe make your own anigif for the loader with their logo or summat...

Scott · 13-07-2006, 11:30

well the client loved the lightbox idea so I thought i'd stick with it, I know its widely used now but its still pretty neat.

The no smoking sign I'm going to take it off the pages and only have it on the accomodation page. But its needed.

I was expecting more "the code is crap" specially from you mr pgo

. I'll sort the h1 stuff and look into image replacement also, I thought about it but never got around to doing it.

As for the sun, the villa is a nice calming relaxing place but can be FUN hence the choppy crayon sun picture.

I'm happy with the design, Don't think i'm going to change it or the colours, as this isn't the stereotyped spanish villa with nightclubs around the corner.

+ the client loves it

top_buzz · 13-07-2006, 11:49

I'd lose the sun in the header

Scott · 13-07-2006, 11:54

do you think?...I like it with:

With Sun

Without Sun

pgo · 13-07-2006, 11:57

Without. Definitely.

d*d · 13-07-2006, 12:03

you'll still need something in place of the sun to fill the gap but definately lose it

Scott · 13-07-2006, 12:08

hmm

how about an animated STORM or FIRE gif

pgo · 13-07-2006, 12:15

Dude, yes!

Scott · 13-07-2006, 12:16

I think i've cracked it with that one like

pgo, code ok now?

Scott · 13-07-2006, 15:56

how about something more designy like this :

Click

pgo · 13-07-2006, 17:00

Take from this what you like. Sorry for the shit quality. 5 minute job, compressed and re-compressed to get under 100K.

finbarr · 14-07-2006, 04:14

glad to see that PGO centered the logo in that middle column... that being off-center was what got me when I saw the original ones

Dusteh · 14-07-2006, 05:28

the padding doesn't seem to be enough to me... the content looks squashed in.

Don't like the sun either.

i3lance · 14-07-2006, 07:03

I'm not feeling this really. Not feeling it at all the more I look at it.

Simple - but not effective I'm afraid.

nekoconeko · 14-07-2006, 08:50

Instead of using the green plant imagery for the top section, maybe something blue to work with the sky in the pics?

pgo · 14-07-2006, 10:22

I disagree - with his other dominant colors being blue and yellow, green makes good sense as an accent color.

I think something like this should be colorful - I'd up the saturation on the yellows a bit.
