I did this site for a client some weeks ago. client happy, job finished.
But, I think something is missing/wrong, but I can't tell what, is it the overall design, the color scheme or is it in the details? I've got 'blind' on this site now, and need your fresh eyes and minds.
If you have five minutes, please have a look and a thought. I would like to put in some extra two-three hours for this client just to make the difference.
ok, url now, http://www.dk-artsmanagement.no

I agree... keep it simple... and don't start putting flowery rubbish all over it... just weakens what you've done otherwise.
Might want to style that eventsscrollbar though?

Plus you're designing a container for other peoples work... so your site needs to take the back seat really.

ditto
everything looks great, except the events panel

Thanks, it may be all fine then. I guess one have to say stop at one point.
I will look into the scrollbar thing.

I LOVE GIFS.

Isn't that a Mies van der Rohe quote? "God is in the details"?
The only details I can find (if I look really hard) is some small allign details. In my browser (IE 5.1 Mac) the navigation isn't alligned with the logo. And it seams the white spaces are not all the same size.
You wanted details right? Ehehe :)

DOOD.
Client = Happy
Project = FinishedJust walk away. If you start to go overboard with "details" aka design stuff the client won't dig because his competitor isn't doing it, then you have made an unhappy client, and the project won't be done, and your life will be a living hell because the client will start to investigate other web sites that they like, and then you get a laundry list of crappy ani. gifs and clip art that destroys the integrity of the flow and all of your work is for nothing because you can't let it go.
It is a fine piece my friend and something I would have loved to have designed and put in my portfolio. Also, save some juice for the next client.

It's Mies. (I might look into the underlines and aligning, but don't tell saint!)
Saint, you're totally right. I have actually been there. Doing a little extra for a client and having the client going "Hey, what happened? I want the old back, I loved that". They didn't understand the extra $$$ design bonus I gave them (!)... well...
I usually do print and you really hav to focus on the finished design and make definate decicions before a DEADline. It's so easy to 'fix' things on webdesign after finished...
