AuburnAura.com redesign

[Deathdart]

Hey,
I've finished redesigning the layout for my site AuburnAura.com

Redesign : http://deathdart.auburnaura.com
Original : http://www.auburnaura.com

Do you think the redesign is better? What changes are required in it? All constructive criticism appreciated :D

-DD

*Bump*

Any suggestions??

Maybe decrease the height of the logo, it stands out too well. Takes my eyes off the content.

Too, maybe lower the height of the menu buttons under the logo. There is an ample amount of free grey space in there. Keep the design of the button with the curve on top and all, just make it a bit less tall.

You have your title in numerous places, it gets a bit repetitive honestly. Do you have a slogan or something you might be able to replace the company name with in some locations or other text?

btw, nice job, wish i had your talent.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions :D I'll see what I can do

Anyone else please?

Nice work! I see you're inot small fonts... what I'd do differently is to be more bold (and happy) with the colors (howabout adding some cyan/blue as acontrast w/ the orange?) and the fontsize is too small. Anyway I have a feeling that what your clients might be after is something of a less technical look. And you could add some example images (do them quite large) of templates and logos you offer.

Anyway one thing I like more (and think your clients as well) about the old page is that it's not so dark...

 

[Deathdart]

Thanks for the suggestions/insight. I don't think I'll be using cyan (simply because I hate it) but I am trying to put in more orange into the content area of the site. As far as the 'technical' look is concerned, it's to show off my talent/skill and I'm hoping it would attract more clients (as the layout page has already got me 5 clients)

Great job!

I'd suggest bigger fonts though, and some more orange

 

[Deathdart]

Yeah, I'm working on that

The redesign looks great. The navigation bar at top is sleeker compared to the side menu on your old design. The details of the redesign really completes it. I just suggest you make the font a little bit bigger so we don't have to squint to read it.

 

[Deathdart]

Yeah, I got that suggestion from almost everyone. I'm working on it.

what font have u used for the navigation buttons?

ive been looking for one like that for ages and cant find a nice one. I like that a lot tho, whats it name and is it a free d/l?

The top part looks great, but the bottom part is pretty plain.
