[Wip] Layout, business

[L?KE]

Am I the only one that thinks this design is completely rubbish and not professional at all?

Let's see you do better pls.

I'm telling you its bad. Thats constructive for 'start again'.

Then its not constructive atall, saying 'start again isnt helping me atall improve THIS layout. Please do not post again as I want people to post who will actually help me improve it.

Ok. Since everyone here dislikes me have some constructive critisicm.

- The navigation. The font doesn't work. Try using more professional fonts on this type of design.
- The content area IMO should be above the middle bit as thats whats most important.
- The fonts used aren't nice, possibly cause they're on sharp etc?

I just personally think this design lacks the professional edge. Business/professional layouts are clean, white and simple to use. This is dark, clean to an extent, but not accessible.

I have to agree with richard. This isn't professional.

But as I'll get flamed unless I'm constructive I'll say this:

Nice parts:
The choice in colours could be worse.
The idea behind the layout is decent.

Bad parts:
The text in the right hand section.. the stroke on it (The thick white) is terrible.
The text on a whole doesn't look right.
The gradient in the header is much too strong. Have a smaller colour contrast.
The balls look weird.

Advice:
Check out some tutorials: http://pixel2life.com & http://www.good-tutorials.com
Have a look at some sites for inspiration: http://webcreme.com & http://www.flickr.com/photos/splat/sets/981332/

Good luck.

It depends what kind of business it is used for, anyway thats only your opinion such as mine is that:

And you know these are professionally styled layouts on a basis of what? The developLIVE ones were test layouts based on a certain style, while the Qunex one was for a client who liked it.
