NCX Laboratories v1.0.0

[Awfy]

Since the original design wasn't a big hit and everyone had issues with the ott design theme. I decided to redo the whole site in CSS since my site I produced for PulseVPS was a success. Please be aware the backend of the site is currently being coded so the lack of content will be resolved in the near future. I'm going to be more open to suggestions also and won't bite anyones head off when they say it's crap. So here's a couple of mock up pages so you can see what the final site might look like;


HOMEPAGE (http://www.ncxlabs.com/)
PORTFOLIO (http://www.ncxlabs.com/go/portfolio)
CLIENT (http://www.ncxlabs.com/go/pulsevps)
SLOGAN (http://www.ncxlabs.com/go/design)


This time around I've decided to create a thing called "Slogan" which allows visitors to click on any word in our slogan and get a dictionary definition and our aim to the solution in this stage. I thought it would be quite a nice and unique feature for us, plus a little bit of fun on the site. Obviously, a pretty big issue was the fact I used the same colours on numerous occasions. So I've kept them for NCX only that should sort that problem.

My main concern at the moment is the navigation which goes across the top of the page. Whether to keep it or remove it since I have a sidebar navigation also. Although I might make the sidebar navigation a sub nav for things such as navigating on the portfolio.

It's boring, plain & theres no css. it's just text and hyperlinks

Huh...? No CSS :S I take it you must of clicked a link when I was uploading the new CSS file, which means you would of seen the site without CSS.

[Colin-Roberts]

Theres no css anywhere. The link to your stylesheet gives a page cannot be found.

[Awfy]

The CSS is there and the link on the site is correct.

css.ncxlabs.com/global.css

So I don't know what the issue is, however the site should look like this;

[Colin-Roberts]

when did you create the subdomain? I believe it can take upto 24 hours for it to work for everyone..

[Awfy]

It would of been on Saturday. Can you see the file by going to http://www.ncxlabs.com/css/global.css?

[Colin-Roberts]

yes
~makes longer~

[Awfy]

Okay, um. Must just be a hosting problem.

The colours are too light, yea, I can see them, but some people who have problems may not be able to read eveything.

Also, the email is wrong:
hello[at]ncxlabs.com[dot]com

it should be:
hello[at]ncxlabs[dot]com

The email section has already been removed. The colours won't be getting changed since they are the NCX colours, so if we get reports of people having troubles we will have to come up with a solution.

Maybe a simple colour changer which just changes the font colour?

Actually good idea. We could have a greyscale site and a colour site.

or just hope they have a LCD monitor and tilt it back a bit :p

[MrCraig]

yeah,

I cant really read it very clearly at all.

[abnormal]

I must have really good eyes because I can read everything perfectly. x]

Can't see why not, since I've just checked it in the brightest my monitor can go and it's still very easy to read.

[MrPinkPanther]

The main font is fine for me but the link font etc isnt. I personally prefered your other one alot more.

Well, the majority of people disliked the fact that it was designed with such large boxes and a lot of colour. So I thought I'd redesign to be more simple.
