First Ever Professional Layout

[sep-boi]

This is my first ever professional radio site template...



Please Rate/Slate and also TELL me how to improve because people just moan that its rubbish and they dont tell me how to improve.

[Fehm]

You're missing the proffesional bit.

I laughed

OT: It looks like it's been done in paint. Invest in fireworks or Photoshop and get the ball rolling.

I used fireworks.

It looks more like an advertisement site, or one of them fake email redirects...

Clean & professional is usually lined up and neat with correct spacing. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty decent layout, but I think the navigation and them box things to the left and right of the content ruin it.

Perhaps you should have another crack at that area?

Okay well, I took in what you said and i did take another crack at it so what do you think?...

[Fehm]

It's still.... hmm, crap.

Much better but I think it's a bit of a past time, if you know what I'm saying. A more modern feel for an online radio is needed IMO.

[Jam-ez]

Much better.

I think one last change is in order. Remove all the images on the left side of the content, align the content better, then make it wider so it fills up that whole gap. Text doesn't look so good when enclosed both sides with graphics.

[Dentafrice]

The headings are too close to the text.

Make the checkbox line up with it's counterpart label next to it.

Login and password are too far apart, and there really isn't any reason to uppercase any of that.

And is listen supposed to be the submit button? If so it's no where near the form itself. Proximity is something you need to keep in mind. If the user can't relate what it is, his eyes are going to bounce around.

There is no invisible line, or any relevance connecting the login area to the listen button for a first time user.

The graphics on the right that you threw in there need to have a point of alignment. They look out of alignment and just slapped on the page (not having much to do with the actual concept of the radio).

I don't like the font you have chosen for "DEVOTE RADIO", looks too slim. Maybe try a fatter bolder font instead of that condensed one.

Also the album art (think that is what that is) in the heading just looks out of place.
Try adding one or two more album art pictures along with it, or try to align it to the hard right instead of just throwing it out in the center by itself.

Sure space is good, but it looks lonely out there with no explanation of itself.

Maybe a heading "hot tunes" or something that explains what it is would help explain it.
