Hey guys,
Relatively new to web design, what do you think to my latest creation
Feel free to attack! (or commend, perhaps I'm being optimistic though)
Thanks!

No don't like it sorry... Looks very dated and there is only two pages on there?

Can you turn the lights on?

Bit dark. Would be nice if there was some coherent non-logo imagery to spell out what they do, without having to squint at the teeny grey text, or just some large bulleted points. I'm lazy, see?
That logo is... horrific.
Are they Jew-only?

i dont really want to read lots of tiny dark text on a dark bg with a really long line length and no interesting pullouts and written with no personality that says nothing but the usual generic nothingness.
Plus, the logo is awful.
You could fix that easily

wait, what are you wearing?7point34

Also the website and the logo feel like 2 separate entities.

are those photos by the company? or just shots youve put into this site as an example for the client.
hardly the most amazing memento photos to get prints from to remember those special days.
(better make sure all the photos are watermarked too, someone might steal those pics of an empty tent or backdoor with seatswign thing in the pic)

the site works and it pretty good for a first attempt.
certainly better than my first html efforts 10 years ago lol

Thanks for the feedback so far.
They aren't jew only but are trying to break the market.
Portfolio work is terrible but there isn't much I can do about that!!
Any opinions on the brochure?
- PSYKHO0
The brochure is not as bad as the site, if you take some elements from the brochure like the camera overlapping the content and use that on your site that would help. But kill the logo... Please!!
- detritus0
Aye, the brochure is more along the lines of what I'd expect the site to be - though, and perhaps it's just me, I resent having to download 10mb worth of price list, when there's a site right there in front of me, to fulfill the same purpose! If it were me, I'd simplify that thing into a purely vector price and service list.

The file is far too big. They were quite insistent though. What do you reckon to small site large brochue layout? I thought the info would be far more effective on page with a good menu system.
I may be being self critical here but I would probably skip to the next photographer I found if I had to put myself through that load.

I reserve my right to plead the 5th.

It's like...how much blacker could it get? And the answer is none. None more black.

try again
- dauntilus0
I agree, try again. Also sticking your "site designed by" tag/logo or whatever on the homepage is tacky and has noob written all over it.

Simplify it. Get rid of gray, make all black. gray/black is sooo....1999. lol. get rid of type up top. get rid of strokes. get new logo. get new tagline. put tagline somewhere near logo. go take more pictures (of anything) so there are more than two jewish albums. pic your 10 best pics for each album, get rid of rest.

it looks a bit like an old warez site since it's all so dark.

make it 'pop'
jk...here's my input:
1. make the text white - take off the indent at paragraph starts
2. move the nav menu up underneath the logo, brighten up the grey in the nav bars
3. Change the logo, or you can always just use a bold & straightforward text (without the photoshop bend)
4. In your featured projects, put photos from the events rather than the bar-mitzvah boy names, I assume this is where you want people to click, colour photos will speak more than the names will.that's it for round1
