input on my company website

M7 · Post by M7 » Sun Mar 09, 2008 2:09 am

I've just built this up over the last few days and wanted some feedback on it please
-i know there are grammatical errors

what i'm more interested in your thoughts on:
colour schemes, font styles, layout, animation, pictures and logo
also any pointers on how I can improve it at all.

http://www.corporaterunning.co.uk

my plans in the pipeline are an identical html site that gives you the option of flash or html on the homepage as someone suggested it can take a long time to load on slower connections
i am aware that the whole site is sitting a little low in the browser window- i'm working on this.

any feedback is welcomed
thanks

Looks good to me

Yeah it looks good

It took about 20 seconds to load for me

I'd put titles on the 4 pictures so you known where you're going. And the back button isn't marked

The other thing is you might want an Executive Summary pdf that can be printed out and presented

Very nice mate, loaded very fast and enjoyed the sounds and movements of the pages.

I found the main logo Very distracting though on all sub pages, and I don't quite feel that it's in the right font,

Like it. Nice design.
Good graphics, movement between pages and easy to navigate.
Couple of optional adjustments:
Could the logo on each sub page link back as a shortcut back to the home page? (It kinda feels like it should be clicked on!)
The only other teeny thing is the 'contact & clients' option on the front page - the text is white against an almost white background so it doesn't stand out until you move your mouse over it.
All in all is a thumbs up though!

I like it. nice and clean.

my minor points are

1) use the same font throughout the site - your title fonts (catchphrase ones?) look like times new roman whereas the rest are arial/verdana.

2) ditch the over-enthusiastic use of sound. less is more. no-one wants to sit in an office and browse a website with sounds playing out for everyone to hear.... I don't think it's needed.

3) the "corporate running" logo is stretched on some pages (width ways).

4) is it scaleable - can you dynamically change the font size and keep with the layout? not keen on sites where you can't do this, although I realise it's hard to achieve sometimes.

5) any way of fixing each page to have it's own url? just that if someone hits the back button on the browser then it moves out of the site and they have to load it all again. perhaps make the front loading page cookied so it only loads up the intro once per IP address.

edit: ideally you'd want a nav bar somewhere rather than a "back" button.

thats really swish, nice flash work. Id say from a graphical perspective the front page looks slightly cluttered, maybe space the thuimbnails out a bit? id say enophasise the title on the sub pages, like "a unique approach to fitness training" have it sort of fade in and gently float slightly, it looks a little like its the end of a pragraph thats been placed. other than that, easy to navigate, nice flash and good layout and use of colour / imagery.
