Howdwil Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Hello all, I would welcome feedback on my new site please, I need some confidence that I have it right or help to get there. Many thanks Howard www.smallskycreative.com
PotentialBeginning77 Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Hey Howdwil! Ok first impression - it feels a little off in terms of design. I think the image is interesting but as you know, websites are scanned in an F formation so the important text should be on the left. Second, the button's text below the hero image looks squashed (I know it is probably an extended font, but in a button it looks a bit silly). I think the section below feels too much like white paper and could use a visual facelift - I'd advise making it feel more like an experience vs. a document! Hope this helps.
JessicaM Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Hi @Howdwil! Here are some things that will sharpen up your website and make it easier to read and more uniformed - - Use more interesting fonts that compliment each other. The Liberation Sans font looks very vanilla. - In some places you spell it "smallSky" and others it's "smallsky". Just needs to be consistent throughout the site. - All of the animation on the page is distracting. I would turn that off. - Your site could benefit from a more cohesive color palette. The purple/yellow/light blue combo doesn't gel well. - Same goes for the buttons... the yellow shadow just isn't working. Consider renaming the buttons so they're more interesting than "see them", "discuss them", etc. The words need to be stronger calls of action. - The links in the footer: some are capitalized, some are not. - I'm guessing you added the yellow around the Circle Member logo. Be careful about that... most companies have strict policies against editing their logo/images at all. - The page with the templates has a lot of spacing issues. The buttons/images/text/margins are all really crammed together. - I would make the "book a call" link at the top a button so that it stands out to people since that is the main action you want people to take. Let us know if you implement any changes and I'll be happy to take a look again. 🙂 Jessica Miller | Squarespace Website Designer https://www.jessicamiller.work jessica@jessicamiller.work Search the blog and get Squarespace tips to your inbox https://www.jessicamiller.work/blog Want to pick my brain or get help?
