Site Redesign - Post Your Opinion: Elite By Design

By EliteByDesign 403 days ago from http://elitebydesign.com

As a few of you know, I am currently working on my custom theme for this blog. I am trying to make it clean, sharp, professional, easy to use, etc. I have gone ahead and created a concept design. Instead of just using it right away, I want to get some reader feedback and see what everyone thinks of it. Tell me what you like, what you don't like, what works, what doesn't work. Any and all tips are helpful.

Looks very, very nice man, well done.

The only thing I'd mention would be that maybe the titles seem to big for each post, but who knows.

I like it though.

Yeah... I would take their size down a touch too (between a tenth and an eighth). Layout is good and clean. I would maybe put a logo up in the header possibly the favicon. The brownish color needs warming up it seems dead against the vibrant orange. There again brown & orange is starting to feel a bit passe to me, the latest incarnation was rssHugger and it feels like a chocolate bar.

Thanks for the comments guys.

@mikeo75

The titles might be too large, I agree. I'll bring the size down.

@lenzjo

I'm working on a logo right now, tougher than I thought it would be :) And I'm sorry, could you tell me what brown color you're looking at? The only colors I used in the design were dark grey, light grey, and orange.

Must be an optical illusion. The area around "Elite" in the header looks like a "dingy" dark brown. I checked on both my pc and mac and it looks pretty close. The footer looks like a dark gray. I dl'ed the image into photoshop and sampled and yup it's dark gray.

One other point, sorry, I tried the squint test and the white text on the orange boxes just about disappeared.

I don't know what is wrong then. On my comp, the header is a dark grey, footer is light grey. Huh.
