Would love some feedback!

[ArchDesignLabs]

Hey hey everyone I would love some feedback on a new site http://www.eco-cred.com I am creating. It basically serves as a promotional piece right now but we still wanted to have a ton of fun with it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! This is only my second site ever and I mainly code just to learn new things. Its a real project and we have a couple of programmers and coders that are starting next week to make the dreams become a reality.

Thanks a million!

I appreciate the feedback! Like I said I am new to this and just wanted to experiment until we hire the rest of the team. Here is the JS Fiddle let me know if it works! http://jsfiddle.net/552j4/

Thanks again.

Come up with anything using JS Fiddle? Still curious about what others think.

I haven’t looked into sprites at all, but I would love to get rid of the “blink” that happens due to the load. I didn’t know how to approach that. We are playing with background textures too we haven’t found any yet but we definitely think it needs something.

Thank you very much!

[ArchDesignLabs]

Awesome! Thanks for pointing me to that!

@archdesignlabs http://spritecow.com is useful to grab the positions for your code.

[ArchDesignLabs]

Thanks @christopherburton I will check that out too and hopefully get some time to play with sprites this weekend!

@odd_e did you ever play with the JS_Fiddle?

[ArchDesignLabs]

haha not a problem happens to me all of the time.

The drop shadow does look a little better. I will take a closer look at the code later as well. Any other visual enhancements you can suggest?

when the browser is below a certain width the woodchucks feet get cut off and move to the left of him.

@dfogge we have noticed that the beavers ankles get cut but I cant for the life of me figure out a solution. Any suggestion?

@krysak4ever great article I will def check it out! Thanks!

Well…I think you’re off to a great start, ArchDesignLabs! First off, I enjoy the illustrations. I think the site definitely has personality.

I see a lot of comments about the dullness of the grey background…ok, so, maybe not the best color choice.

I would build this site from the standpoint of someone who doesn’t know anything about this app. I agree with others as I’m not clear how this app really works either. Maybe a diagram to show users, as well?

[ArchDesignLabs]

Thanks @robst we are definately going for personality and quality graphics to stack onto the idea.

We are actually coding the begins to the web app now and will soon be posting more information and graphics including a nice video on how to use and why you should use it :)

The grey is def. dull and should probably have a subtle texture applied to it to give more depth so that is something we will continue to explore. Hoping to have updates by the end of the weekend actually! Great comments I am def. not a web designer but I am passionate about learning anything and everything related to architecture and design.
