aspiramedia - one page template for review:

http://www.aspiramedia.com/3/test.php

Obviously text is not complete.

Mike_Wiseman · 07-06-2005, 08:50 AM

I think its great

Its stylish unique, good job, one thing i would change though is have a blue rollover on the buttons instead of a grey, like a blue bevell

Mark · 07-06-2005, 09:04 AM

I like it for the most part - But the "3D Raised" areas on the sides are a bit too bright for me - I see where the colors fit in somewhat .... But just too distracting from the main body IMO ~

The rest looks Good to me !

bertwrld · 07-06-2005, 09:07 AM

It's a pretty nice design, I like the gradual fade of the blue towards the bottom. I'm thinking it could use just a little bit of color towards the top, or maybe a liter blue for the header similar to the bottom. Just my opinion. I do Like it overall though. Nice job.

I'll do something with them - just can't get it quite right yet.

Hmmm...I'll have to see what works. I tried yellow at the top but it came out awful. Trial and error I guess!

unknowngiver · 07-06-2005, 09:36 AM

awesome design
gud luck finishing it

StudioWorks · 07-06-2005, 06:56 PM

Hey,

A preety decent site I say. Looks good but im not so sure about that red text on yellow background. Doesn't quite fit, IMHO. Other than that.. would like to see it when it's 100% finished.

Best wishes,

- SW

aspiramedia · 07-07-2005, 02:44 AM

I'm going to change the 'side boxes.' Any more?

bentong · 07-07-2005, 06:54 AM

nice site! awesome design!

update us if your site is finished.

good luck!

aspiramedia · 07-12-2005, 09:24 AM

OK,

I've started some edits to it:

http://www.aspiramedia.com/3/test2.php

The whole content area is wider, due to a lot of complaints from people with wider screens not being able to use the space. Still works on 800x600 so I guess it's a liquid design.

Added a nice 'static' bar across the top (FireFox only) so useful nav features can be accessed at all times.

It's not so blue!

Comments?

Gene · 07-12-2005, 09:32 AM

Aackk! That takes away the beauty of the first design. It's functional, but the first design was so much more appealing.

aspiramedia · 07-13-2005, 07:03 AM

any more?

wasabinut · 07-13-2005, 07:56 AM

I liked the first one better.........

However I'm not too sure about the boxes on the sides... if they were even on both sides it may work

DJ_Guvana · 07-13-2005, 11:06 AM

The first one is alot better. Ill keep you in mind in the future, this sort of design is what im looking for @ www.BASSLINEHOUSE.info

unknowngiver · 07-13-2005, 12:02 PM

The first one rulez....

Harro · 07-13-2005, 12:25 PM

I have to agree with the others, the first one looked better

aspiramedia · 07-21-2005, 06:14 AM

Moved on a little - one page live.

http://www.aspiramedia.com/3/

I stuck to the second design to enhance accessibility and browser compatibility.

LeetPCUser · 07-21-2005, 06:25 AM

I think it is a bit too simple. You need to add graphics or something.

aspiramedia · 07-21-2005, 06:29 AM

Do you mean in the content area?

Or in the layout?

EmanEvan · 07-21-2005, 06:35 AM

The width of the banner/header doesn't go with the width of the main page. The actual graphics themselves look good though.

bhyraj · 07-21-2005, 08:06 AM

great looking. nice site.

ammo · 07-22-2005, 07:29 AM

It looks good, but the navigation bit at the top i think should be the length of the box, but just my opinion!

Ben Woodhouse · 07-25-2005, 03:29 AM

This template is excellent i cant fault it atall, the blue fading background coupled with the logo and 'reflection' is fantastic.

LeetPCUser · 07-25-2005, 06:33 AM

I like it but there are some things that really stick out. First of all the links on the left hand nav bar are right aligned and this looks kind of goofy. I would highly recommend left aligning them and maybe making them a rollover. The next thing I saw that was a little off was the banner size was tiny and not an auto stretch or fixed size (i.e. 775x80). The last thing I saw that I was really questioning was the stupid little line at the top of the page that didn't dissapear telling me how to use the navbar. If you clean those three things up I think you definately have a great design. I also think you could charge quite a bit for a design like this. Keep up the good work and I hope to see another one of your designs soon!

I hope so!

I'll take those points onboard and have a think through. The 'annoying' bar at the top is for accesibility issues and it really can't go. Is it that bad? It's only thin.
