way better ...
i would play with the colors for the nav , news , and footer w/logos
the same color down looks funky ..

It's abit flat. I'd use a more interesting image for the top banner and put some more color into the layout. One color more will do the trick.

works for me.

"works for me?" ...direction like that makes designers lose jobs.
Here's what I noticed:
- "WELCOME" up-top seems out of place and since its in the same typeface as REALTOR, I lean towards thinking RWSSC mean Realtor Welcome...
- Dashed-lines. Why? At least not between the nav buttons. Looks like cut-out coupons.
-Margins: increase the spacing between the tan box and the login section.
-I like your overall grid and placement of sections (content, search, login, etc.)Nix

thanks for taking a look everyone! anyone else?
I'll take some time and possibly re-evaluate my color selections. viewing it in my office (under fouresent lights/older monitor/etc) it feels a bit flatter than it did in my studio...
I agree, there needs to be some more profound imagery (esp. on the homepage) I am hoping that they can send me some nice pics, because as of now, they've sent nothing - nice imagery is a must for a real estate site.
The "Welcome" text does feel akward, I'll do something about that....
The dashed lines..... I added them to break up the menu, and liked how they compartmentalized the search/member login/announcement sections so I left them.... Without eating up too much dev time, I'll investgate some other options.
I appreciate the input - Thanks!

Just an update.....
Got some feedback, from the client... having their building as the main image was a must, so i asked them to send images of their building and kind of went back to the drawing board....the idea was to have a standard layout, but give it interest and maintain a fresh look by use of color and imagery (to be controlled w/ css).
my initial thought was to have a layout for each season.... i showed the client two (still waiting for any revisions....so i thought i'd see if the folks at nt had any suggestions
thanks in advance!
orig. layout
new - spring
new - winter

fucking MILES better mate!

tons better.
main thing is to wait until you've all of the content in before nailing down the final scamps.

A lot Fresher dude, good work

thanks a ton guys!
yeah diglee, final content will determine how all of the details fit - most of the time i design everything "airy"( with dummy text for content), and the client enters WAY too much text in the areas, which loses my initial effect - so we'll see how this turns out
i really felt like i had a better game plan after running the initial design by the crew here, with a few close colleagues and (of course) client input! hope they like it!
thanks again!
