Can someone take a quick look

Gary White

2005-01-10, 7:18 pm

Being design challenged, I'm looking for comments on this page:
http://apptools.com/experiments/designs/blue/

The links all work, but they go to my existing pages, so there is no
need to comment on those.

Line height 120% is cool.

Aside from Pablo'e observation and suggested improvement, I must say I
really like the nice clean look and the colors you chose.
I would rather see it centered, however.

Hi Garry,

Not looked at the code.

PC Windows 98SE IE 6

First impression - Clean, crisp, and navigable by keyboard. Nice.

However, my eyes kept being drawn to the vertical AppTools.com on the right.
Maybe just me and my square eyes :-)

While the vertical AppTools didn't bother me, the Swiss Army Knife is a
little attention grabbing.

Maybe it could be "smallened" up a bit.

I don't mind that whatsoever, I like centered layouts but I have no gripes
with left aligned, in fact I'll bet you that soon it will be la mode once
again.

http://apptools.com/images/headingbg.jpg

No go, gotta nuke it and http://apptools.com/images/comp.jpg and the red
rollover colour, you have room to play and I suggest a column bg colour on
the left online with the contact us link.

Mail me at dellatdellwebsites.com

Very nice look. Two points:
- that cockeyed computer ... how to put this? ... makes me a bit queasy
- I agree with somebody else on the red rollover. I assume that they're
CSS? Maybe a lighter but complimentary shade of blue?

I'm disappointed that the menu bar on the home page doesn't appear on
all the pages.

Hmmm ... 120% is about what you get if you don't specify anything. I
bumped it up to 130%.

I have the perfect layout for you, I'm serious, I am working on a project at
the moment and if you want to see it then give me a buzz at
dellatdellwebsitesdotcom and I will gladly give it to you. It really looks
cool without any razzamataz.

Very nice updated look. Is that a stock photo of a compass, or did you
have one around to photograph?

Anyway - one /very/ minor point - in the link to Rants on the new,
improved nav bar, you're missing the trailing slash/.

I'm always anxious to see good designs. I can write code all day and
night, but putting together an attractive design is beyond me.

Well, if I were to dig around, I'm sure I've still got my old drafting
set, but for this I just used a photo that I already had.

Gary,

Just wanted to let you know that, browsing as I do with enlarged text,
the page works fine. The only thing I don't like is the blinding
headlight thing at the top.

You have contributed so much, just want to express appreciation (from a
fellow-design-challenged person!)

I missed earlier versions; the centered look works wel with the stripes
and shades. My advice would be to play around a litle more with the
pictures of the globe and the mouse; these look so '70 s.

If you use more modern (or real classic) stuff the look will reflect
better your tchnical skills, which are very much up to date! (I love
your PHP tools!)

Thanks, Bonnie. The design is still evolving. ;-) The thought behind
that particular concept was, with the image of the earth, that bright
spot would be the sun. As a matter of fact, I had to turn the world
upside down to get the shading to make that consistent. There is another
thought I've been playing with at

I like the appearance of the top much better than the pictures in the
bottom. Now you have a clear message. Continue!

Have you tried flipping your picture, so that your facing the text? Right
now I think it draws attention away from your text.

Bit late to the party Gary, but I did see your first version and much prefer
the 2nd :-)
The orange hover on the original was way too stark. Even the current
purplish color could be toned down a tad - pretty much a softer tone to what
you have on the keyboard pic. Just a nit pick nothing more :-)

I don't think this is my eyes and I haven't checked your stylesheet to see
if it's so, but there appears to be a border on the very far left edge of
your content area - goes to just below the copyright info text

The site is nice, clean and easy to navigate :)
