Hi guys I was wondering if I can get a bit of feedback on the new front page for the drinkmeonline website

http://www.drinkmeonline.co.uk/testsite/

I will be coding the rest of the site this weekend I hope if I get time. But I was wondering what your thoughts were so far.

Best as always

peace

can't really read what the text says.

errrr which text cos the only text on there apart from the texture text is the copyright and it isnt meant to be read.

Well, it is kinda hard to make a judgement as the site will probably look different from the front page.

It looks pretty sweet though.

Text isn't meant to be read? Fuck, what have I been doing all these years.

Like someone else said, it's hard because the rest of the site will look nothing like this. This is just a splash page so in effect, a waste of time.

As far as it goes, I do think it's a bit of graphical over kill. Bigging yourself up rather than thinking about what the client or user might actually want/need. If you go with the splash page, at least make sure the image doesn't get cut off on the left, right and bottom.

Thanks for all the comments guys. The site will have the same look all the way through. I hate sites that look amazing on intro and then just lose the look all the way through the site. I am a BIG believer in continuity. The site was designed with the client so I know that this is the look they are after.

thanks again though guys.

peace

hmmm I like it... the film-negative look, high contrast... very nice.
But this is just the spash screen (aka the "frontpage") I wonder how the final site will look like? I know you've said you'll go for continuity but how can you fit a nav & content etc into this style?
I can't wait to see the results.
