the google ads are a nice touch ;)

is this anything like slc punk with that mildly charming guy who's fucking annoying guy from serial mom?

btw the site sucks a bit

the ads are really getting in the way of the site basics. it looks like 'sandiego.com' got hit by a 468x60 banner and is about to fall off the main top graphic and it's playing second fiddle to said banner.
the site navigation is lost, surrounded and out played by too many google ad links.
on the plus side, good to see some colour introduced...

Might I suggest taking the top component and flipping it on the bottom as well so when the user scrolls down it's not so bland down there.

better than the old version but try to carry those ripped element into the subsections if youre going this route and at least make the google stuff fit in colorwise or something.

Unfortunately, all those banners and ads make us what little bit of $$$ we can from the site so they need to stay. However, we may be able to do away with the very top banner when I agree is particularly annoying.
kOna - nice idea about adding some color to the bottom. i was thinking about doing that but just got a little lazy in the end last night. If a number you guys think that will make it better I will definitely put it in there.
This site needs to make people say Wow...or at least not make them puke.
thanks!

Its not making me puke but it still needs a lot of work.
If, as I can guess from one of your posts, you only worked 1 night on this comp then its headed in a good direction. Just keep working on it and polishing it up.
I also agree with kOna.

waaa, wrong thread

THanks everyone. I talked it over with a couple of designers here at work too and got lots of good feedback.
We decided it needs to be a little more rough around the edges. The mix of clean and scruffy is just not working out perfectly right now. I can easily fix it, it will just take more time and patience.
Look for version 2.0 soon!
