vofchoir.org/new/ This site has been a work in progress for awhile now, I think I am now almost finished. Some of the content is not quite complete yet, it's coming. I'm open for suggestions. -Cliff
Hi Cliff, Your site is technically very nice done. But I get a bit depressed by the colors you use for your background. So much blue feels very cold and distanced. If I were you I would try to change the background to white, make more space between the columns and add images of (smiling) people.
JuliaHolland, I changed the background to white, I certainly agree it lightens the site up quite a bit. Unfortunately, I do not have many good pictures suitable for the home page at the moment. If you see any in the photo album that would look good there, please tell me. -Cliff
Hi Cliff, Honestly if I were you I would remove all the colors from your web site. The nav-buttons, big strokes around the columns remind me to much of early 90's. I would create an airy, spacious website with white bg and gray font. Maybe a fading out image of blue haven in the corner of the header. Don't look for pictures of people on line! Take your own camera next time you have church gathering and make pictures of the building and all visitors. If I was moving to a new community I would rather join a club were 'real' people come instead photo stock images. If you need inspiration, browse on line.
Alright, I moved the navbar and removed the mirror, it definitely looks better now... The colors do need a little bit of a light and airy feel, maybe not quite as much as @JuliaHolland suggested, but it will happen. As for the pictures, it does need more, but all the shots that I have aren't quite good enough for use in the home page. As always, thanks for the feedback and more is always, always welcome. -Cliff
Hi Cliff, I saw your website, layout wise I liked it but the colors used are not appealing, In some places the content is not readable because of the background color... please look into it.. I hope you din't mind I was just puttin my point of view..
Some sort of image of the choir would be nice to see incorporated into the design. Doesn't have to be flashy or complex. Something minimal like a group photo to the right of the title would be okay.
It has been said but I also think the colour scheme leaves much to be desired. The basic white (or off white) behind the content area kind of makes my eyes hurt because of the contrast to the other colours. The way I often chose a colour scheme is based slightly on this website:
Okay... I'm sorta at a loss for what to do with the color scheme, ColorSchemer will certainly help, but does anyone have any suggestions? By the way Hannan, about the text not being readable, I had just changed the background color and forgot about that text. Thanks. I'm working on getting pictures. -:) -Cliff
