Took me a whopping 4 hours... what do ya think? (I realize the contact us link, lost and found story, virtual tour, and pedigree links don't work)

And yet another design critique

Pretty sharp. 2 recommendations though:
- Give the home page the same design as the sub pages. There's no reason not to.
- Make the mouseovers for the links more obvious. This is a personal preference though.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
The reason I didn't make the home page the same as the rest is because it has nothing but links. That little blurb about Paradise, CA filled 1/4 of the page.pickle wrote:Pretty sharp. 2 recommendations though:

I agree about the mouseovers though... a little too subtle. More gray or should I make them change color?
I'd suggest making the background color a light blue. You can't goof with the contrast of the link too much or it'll become invisible.
I'd still recommend making the front page the same layout. The user will experience the front page having one look, then every other page they go to having a different look. Even if it is mostly a picture and a little text, it'll look a lot more like its part of the site.

I actually like the home page better than the sub pages (which I find too liney). I like the cleanness of the home page and the bigger photo. The sub pages look very ordinary and the small and very contrasty photos look amateurish. As the photos are often group shots it might be nicer to have smaller images that you can rollover to get a large version so you can actually see the people and dogs (or is that dogs and people).

I am going to make the images pop up larger, but I have not got the ($$) approval for the extra time that would take.arborint wrote:I actually like the home page better than the sub pages (which I find too liney).
