Minix -> A or B ? (4/17/2004 23:30:30)

Subtle difference....one or the other will be the entry page to the rest of the site:

A

or

B

replacing this Home page C

As always, the first round is on me.



Peppergal -> RE: A or B ? (4/18/2004 0:17:03)

I like them both - in one way, I like "A" better only because of the graphics for "Food, Games, Spirits, " etc...but I like seeing those words on "B" in the white space. I don't like them as plain text words though.

I think it would be grand if you made trans. graphics of the words using that neat green font and put them in the B page where you have the text words now. Does that make sense?



Minix -> RE: A or B ? (4/18/2004 0:30:44)

Good catch, peppergal.....you caught my laziness on B.

They will be trans graphics because I don't think that the font is very universal, so it will be as you suggested. I was just too tired at the end of the day to create the graphics for them.....so I just put in the fonts.

In fact, I was too lazy to even couch that topic in my original post, and I knew I should have.

A. The links are obvious links.

Love the design though.

Not sure what you mean by this jaybee. The font is obvious or the meaning of the link is obvious?

Thanks for taking a look



jaybee -> RE: A or B ? (4/18/2004 8:04:21)

Sorry,

on A the links Live Music, Sports, Spirits etc. look like links
on B they look like decoration.

Or have I got completely the wrong end of the stick and they are just decoration?

n which case B. The decoration looks more like decoration and not links [:D]

They are just decoration bullets.

I was afraid that they might come across as links. I was going to use that font as the links, but I don't think it is common enough to display across the board, so I went with Arial.

And I don't want to add any more image weight with nav link graphics. (I don't think, anyway.)



jaybee -> RE: A or B ? (4/18/2004 8:25:55)

Mmmmm, I was trying to click on them. They look good but they are a bit confusing.



LoriL1212 -> RE: A or B ? (4/18/2004 11:31:43)

Well, I am gonna say it---- I wasn't gonna' say it --- but I am anyway.

Don't be upset..........

I don't like either one ===== I like the original (C) better.

- it is not so crunched together
- there is more to read, and more to sell me
- I like the deep red to offset the green

So, I would say that the original needs to be spruced up, yes, but I am just not thrilled on either of the two that stand to replace it.

Sorry [:(]



jaybee -> RE: A or B ? (4/18/2004 12:33:00)

Mmmmm. No I definitely prefer the new ones. Perhaps if you made the centre section deeper so tht whole thing fills the page rather than having the blank strip along the bottom. That would open it up more.

Well, that is only my opinion and design eye.

I like the top part.

I dont like the bordered center that goes fills the page from left to right... maybe if it left a few pixels on either side open. Also, not so thick a border.

I like the navigation on A but not on B.

I do not like the bottom area at all - it looks pixelated and does not stand out enuff for me.

... and again, I am only being honest on what I see vs what I like to see.

Thanks, Lori.

The original - C - the client doesn't like it and said to change it. Change it to a " less cluttered" opening page. I pleaded with them to understand the "there's more to sell" on that format concept. They wanted an opening page that says "I want to come into this place based on the opening page."

I disagree with the extra click that it takes to get into the web site.....

but they are the client......

And I also pleaded for the offset maroon to balance the greens......deaf ears.....



LoriL1212 -> RE: A or B ? (4/18/2004 18:45:45)

Then with that in mind, and you know I love ya....

THIS
