New Design for One of My Upcoming Sites

[deronsizemore]

I'm developing a new site and just wanted to get opinions on the design.

I like it, but I still love to hear what others see when they look at a design. I'd especially like to hear from you if you are on a PC and have cleartype disabled. If you ask me every site looks bad without cleartype, but that may be because I'm not used to looking at sites with cleartype disabled? For those of you who browse without cleartype enabled, how does it look to you?

If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to share. :)

Looks great to me!!! I like it. :)

Thanks Ben. Since you're a member at websitepublisher forums, I'm sure you know I've been planning/working on this site for what seems like forever! hehe. I have a partner now though and things are looking up for the site to go live in the spring sometime (hopefully). :)

It's easy to look at and nicely laid out. Not crowded and restful.

I like it, I really have no other comments than that! Everything seems on its place. :)

Nice. I'm one of those non-clear-type-using-PC-users and it looks good to me. The uppercase titles in the body of the page, along with the uppercase navigation labels look a little rough (especially when the navigation labels are white with the blue background) but this is normal for those of us with no clear type, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

Ok sounds good! This is what I was hoping, that the non-clear-type-using-PC-users would see the headings and and nav menu text as "normal" and not repulsive (as I see it when I view without cleartype).

If it was in fact repulsive looking to the non-clear-type-using-PC-users I can fix it by bolding both the nav links and headings and it looks the same in both, but I like it better without the bold. :)

Glad to be of service :)

For what it's worth, I think bold would be too much for the design too (not wanting to influence your designs though...).

[deronsizemore]

not wanting to influence your designs though...

Oh no, feel free to influence all you want. :) I love hearing what others think, good or bad. But I agree, it seemed a little much with the bold headings and nav.

I think it looks great Deron. I remember when you were trying to decide on which logo to choose!

hehe, yeah, that was another thing that took me forever to decide on.
