http://www.atlasglobalbistro.com…Super quick redesign with extremely limited budget and assets. All in all... it's still amazing to see what clients OK.

i like where 'From This' was heading
the signed-off definitely looks quick, extremely limited budget and assets

Its too big. I'm on a 20" imac and it doesn't all fit in my browser. Also I think the contrast between the white and the dark bg is too much, try lightening up that red a bit.

move everything up on the page. too much blank space at the top

the new one looks worse.

with a little bit of work you could make the new site quite nice. the bottom half doesn't fit the top half.

Yeah, i'd like to invest some more hours into it but they just don't exist. Maybe if i get some time outside of work to polish it more. But seriously, you think the redesign looks 'worse'? I hope you're just trying to get a rise out of me... really.
:D
- nope not trying to get a rise out of you... explanation below.bigtrick

otherwise it's nice, but yes does seem a little empty / unfinished.
the left side seems to clash with the nice grid you have on the right

the new one is flat and has no sense of atmosphere - a flat color on a flat color. the old one had that beautiful texture about it so that the site actually corresponded somewhat to a sense of the restaurant. granted, the new one looks like it was done by a savvier web designer, but it looks incomplete and bare - there is no "message" there, just a lot of bolded navigation text hitting my eye when i first load the page. at least the old one gave me something more interesting to look at.
this isn't a dig at you, more like agreement with your first post, d_rek - it is amazing what clients will ok. i looked at your portfolio and you are pretty frickin good - it just doesn't show on this site.
if you ever figure out the balance between making everything you do excellent, and making sure that you work only the hours that you are paid for, let me know - i am still trying to figure that one out myself.
- mmm, I don't really agree with most of this.Jnr_Madison
- go fullscreen the 'original' design plzd_rek
- done - still not changing my mind :)bigtrick

Minor detail, but how about some pics of the food on the homepage?
Empty tables... what's all that about?
