Sign Company Website

Still just an image and still in the refining stages, but I wanted to get some comments.

Hi Drewry,
Please take every thing that I have to say with a pinch of salt. I'd hate to think that I'd led you astray.

I think that the give us a call image might be dominating the logo a bit.

Have you tried putting the Auburn Circle advert on right of the get a quote section? It's just that the 'Standing out amongst the crowd bit' feels a little trapped to me. And i think that the way that the flow of content steps in, because of the advert, might be making me feel a little bit uncomfortable about it. Though, I guess, if you did move the advert, the 'Standing out' bit might feel a little loose.

I'm not sure that the blue ball should be at the bottom of the pile.

I really like the way that the sign stand works at the bottom and I was wondering if it could be made to work at the top too.

'lighted signs' doesn't seem right to me, but that could be because I'm from the UK.

Otherwise, it feels friendly and straightforward to me.

Thanks for your comment. I think you might be right about that Call Us. I'm not sure about the placement of the banner though.

Concerning the blue ball, I wanted it on the bottom so its like the company takes you from the bottom and makes you noticed. If you are already on the top you will be noticed anyhow.

i love tha background of your site, its very eye catching. the only thing i would change is to make all the text a bit smaller as it looks a bit cluttered at the moment .. apart from that its great

The Links at the top need anchoring to the mainpage some how. Tabs are the easy solution but maybe something more creative. the just dont have any indivdual definition u there.
As far as the call center picture goes I hate stock phtography. It gives me the impression that the company has nothing to show for itself that it has to use stock photography call centers. I would make this smaller and either find something a bit less generic or grab a camera a snap a shot in the office. It makes a difference.
The concept is creative which is great. But I would say that maybe a bit more structure to the text would be good.
Keep up the good work!

I'm not so keen on the atomic sign in the logo - but I think my main comment would be regarding the layout/type. Not that I'm an expert on these things, I found my eye casting round the image a bit rather than having clear areas of focus. Also I'd perhaps give some of the larger type on the bottom half a bit more room to breathe. The use of type sizes do not appear to serve a hierarchy of any kind.

The auburn ad is a real distraction - it's has a lot of weight in the composition owing to it's separate style. I think the ball graphic could be crisper, perhaps better served by a suitable photo/illustration.

Sorry there aren't more positive points, I'm not that keen on the image overall I'm afraid. Hope these help!

I disagree. People read from left to right, so the first thing they see is going to be that banner. not the important stuff
