  I'm doing a website for a friend's business: a mobile recording studio.
  As you can see, the big drawing is clearly a very early draft and will be a flash piece.
  Now i'm working on the look and feel of the underneath html
  I'd like to know from you if the bottom (the golden boxes) part is conflicting too much with the withe part, or is ok, and overall if it's working or not.

  Have fun ripping me apart.

  the basic layout is rather nice but the artwork isn't cutting it for me. and there logo is grating on me.

  from the white and grey picture down spot on!

  I'd have to agree that the artwork probably needs to change a little, golden boxes seem fine.

  I'd like to point out (again) that either the logo and the artwork are a draft, so please don't consider them.

  • The banner img is huge! thing doesn't fit on 1024
  • The radius of each rounded corner in every element that has them has a different radius. Match them coz it looks lazy as it is.
  • Why is the right side of the top metal banner
  • Metal texture is too blah! And you have 2!! in the top banner and in the 3 boxes at the bottom
  • Align better the top banner. Coz it looks sloppy. It doesn't quite touches the rad bg and it doesn't align with the main banner or the content below it.
  • What is that bubbly texture at the bottom? Say goodbye to it foe the sake of huminity baby
  • Get rid of the gradient in the footer. Or even better. To avoid so much boxiness, separate the footer from the main site area. Try having the footer with no bg and only against the red background of the site.
  • …more to come ;o)

  • oops! for #3 i meant to say the right side of tha banner is not straight and slightly slanted.– VectorMasked1/2

    thats a good critique.– epete222/2

  Not a big fan of the "fake fake audio equipment" style, but if you use it you should go all in and make the whole thing consistent. Pick a style and roll with it.

  I would try not to have as much copy in the audiopolis section (or anywhere else for that matter). it makes the page seem so much heavier. try truncating the body copy and linking to another page with a full description or just cutting it down altogether.

  agree with Vector on tightening up the details like the rounded corners. the little things make all the difference between a professional and amateur design.

  • err... dont follow this advice it will kill your SEO!– trooper1/2

    not true at all trooper. you don't need to fill your homepage with copy in order to be more visible to search engines.– mcLeod2/2

  I would've followed the direction of the logo more, honestly. You could use what you have as a wireframe, maybe make it all black and grid-like like their mark, iunno, scale the site design back a bit.

  i like the layout so far.

  its always hard to see something for what it is when its at the early stages of development. but i think the layout works well, nice structure. keep going man and show more once developed.

  lot's of design ideas going on, needs to simplify much more... go stainless steel all the way else don't mix. reduce everything 30%, but still needs some more work.

  there is too much dead space on the top with the logo and the nav. is there a way you could incorporate the logo and the nav into the image? this would be a better use of space.
