There's so much one can say unless the entire design comes out. Such as establishing the hidden business of the site, Car or internet. Logo. Solutions. Which is cool, cuz that can be distracting for this crit. BTW- I would get rid of those useless blue bars in the main header. Also the bar to separate the logo/ phone number from the navigation.
ICONS
We have facebook and twitter, one is spelled out fully, the other is not. Why not choose one or the other, or both. For some users, they will not know what that "T" stands for.As far as that 3rd mysterious icon....what the hell is that?! :)
Also that separator says the left hand side is raised and had a straight edge therefore giving priority to the left suggesting it is on top.. is this on purpose?
I know this right hand column is a subscription area. Why not add forms boxes here, unless you need to take them to a very complicated form fill page.
Is there need for another logo on the bottom? Do i really need another reminder here that I didn't leave the site, or what site I am on? more than likely, I'm still on the same page. I did not leave the Nissan page.
DEPTH USAGE
Really like the colors used here, especially to make give the feeling of depth for all areas. I'm a bit concerned about the mid area where you give the users this reflective floor and somehow this transitions to flat.... But I see the diamond reflection brings out the suggestive transparency vs the ambiguous depth. wall vs ceiling effect.again, the eye sore "link goes here boxes." It would look better without these here.
VIEW OUR SOLUTIONS
I see you have 4 main categories of information, "seen, being found, interact, evaluate" all confusing... i don't even know if they make sense, especially without proper images underneath. I see you have placement icons. However I would highlight and distinguish the fact there are 4 categories here. This was too hard to figure out at first glance because instead i saw ten icons. Also, I would match the lighting used as the shadows are too dark. in comparison to the rest.DROP DOWN
The child labeling organization is a bit dark. Also why not provide this same organization to the bottom set of solutions? I also see that you've used that same organization method from below. seen found, interact, evaluate, etc..." it's over excessive use of categorization, that really kills me.Also the highlight color used on the home button is the same color as solutions rollover. That's telling me that they're both selected. One should be an off color.
POP UP
It sucks that the popup covers the user's next possible selection. Only if I rollout will I know what is behind door 2.Anymore that can be added here? BTW- if you've gotten this far, I think the site is very beautiful. I like the cleanness of the page, it could use a human side though. It's a bit cold and empty right now. These are some more of my suggestions for this page.
