π designs

[kk.]

Hello
This thread is to let you in on my newest project. π designs was decided after i wanted to help people who cannot either code or design layouts. Although their is a lot of competition, i would also be offering a coding and designing service for payment. I would also offer colour schemes as you can see along with advice if users would like it on their layout. A design is shown below. The first image is a splashscreen and the second image is the current design i have made. That is only the front page and so other pages would look completely different. π designs may also not be the final project name. The name π designs came about after firstly asking luke (bojangles) for ideas around the name pi. π was decided by e due to the fact that when you combine my initials (JC) you can make it into the symbol π :).

[cunning]

It looks straight, I guess more could be added to the white.

[kk.]

I like it, accept for the bottom two boxes.

[kk.]

whats wrong with the two boxes? is it because they dont line up nicely? if so, the news would have more news in anyway so it would be expanded a lot more :)

[Florx]

I really really really like them.

Very well done. +rep.

[kk.]

I think maybe you are over using the nav bg when hovered over, ive seen it on a few of your designs now, maybe try something else there, otherwise very good

[kk.]

thanks for the feedback ini. The nav above was first used on a layout I wasnt planning on using and looks better on this. The pin stripe background the banner also fits this
much better. I'm not sure what you mean when you say on hover. Please explain more:) on hover only the text colour would change

I'll try other nav styles in future after developing and coding this

The identity isnt a brush, its just the symbol for pie :P (maths)

[kk.]

lol yeh it is :)

If you just remove the content boxes completely and use a large, bold colourful text heading (Impact, for example), it would look better. (with a dashed seperator from title and content).

Also, the banner, the navigation has been ruined with the 'flame effect' I'm afraid! It would look better without that, just tabs and a header similar to that on Bebo. (bebo.com (http://bebo.com))

thanks for the C+C. I may use the content idea for the news pages and i wil see what it looks like on the front page howvever i would need somewhere to put the latest designs.

As for the nav, i have tried all sorts but this has turned out the best.
