What do you think about this design? It is targeted for a floral company, or gift company and it is supposed to exhibit e-commerce styled behavior. It is only in its draft stages, so waht do you think?



Just in case you turned off images, here's the link:

I would greatly appreciate comments, both positive or negative are equally welcomed. Thanks!

F15 Fighting falcon --$10000.00..

I want 1... hehehehe + 2 dozen of AR-15 Assult rifle...

joking bro.. the inteface is clean and tidy. Should be ok if you provide a categorize menu for all the flower you have...

I was laughing my head through... Singing Stopper???

haha is it just me or what... i think pink + yellow would make it look sweeter and much more captivating.

blue and grey is not really suitable for a floral or gift company, something like pink, light green, or softer color will be more suitable,

the design is ok clean and simple, but u need to have the product category to be visible to the visitor right on the main page
it's oso redundant to have the same links on top and on the left side menu, i would suggest to change the left menu to products category

design : nice
just what's with the flower.. you're a cooperate site.. put some buisnessman...or anything that's buisness related..

"welcome to company name" - dark grey maybe , instead of black..
also need a logo..

Well its supposed to be for a floral selling site, or gift site like memory lane or something like that.

What u think?

opps.. my mistake..if for floral selling purpose.. try pink/orange..they look better.
and why there's 2 navigation menu ?? if you're to make 2 nav. menu , then one of them should be situated below the content..

The concept design looks a bit too high tech for me. It doesn't give me the feeling of flowers and gifts..or the type of feminine-ish feel to it.

I would also keep things more organized by placing Newest Products beneath Featured Products instead of putting things here and there.

Here are some better organized navigations for you.

http://www.noel.com.my/

Both are clean and simple but still makes you feel like you're at a flower & gifts website. You could also borrow the idea of colors from there.

Cheers.

the second one doesn't look too organised.. the font's color/type look too childish.

depens on wat site n wat item or wat infomation u r putting it in..btw ur design is not bad..try 2 change the white backgrd(just a thoughts)

1. Redundant main navigation. I don't think it necessary except it would be wise to make sure that it is noticable for first time viewer/visitor.

2. I can't seem to understand why the flower picture (pink flower) need to be blocked by a frame of some sort.

3. Why is the search frame so big?

I wasn't posting the examples based on it's organization or typeface, it was a guide of look and feel overall for soggie. If you compared the design of the two with her current design, it's obvious something is lacking because I don't feel what they other 2 has given me. Anyway, maybe you drop an email to Noel and let them know.

Cheers.

The design looks too "inexperienced". Try different colour schemes, warm colour or romantic colour will be more suitable. The design is way too incomplete, even if it's a draft design, still you have to try making it look like you took a screenshot from somewhere. Fill in the company name and logo as well as all the products, not just "your company name" and some empty boxes around. Then you will have a better idea yourself how it will look in the end too. Oh, and work on the navigation system too! Cheers!

The colours suggested by valho is fitting too, pink, light green, the soft "pastelly", like your blog, soggie.

It depends what site you are designing for. But overall for this, i would like to say its average only.

Guys, I skimped through all your comments, and as expected, you guys give extremely useful comments. Thanks for spending the time to explain the fallacies of my design. Tomorrow I'll read thru it again in more detail... thanks again!

Yes I agree that the color scheme needs better work. Originally I used blue shades because the requirements for this web design states that no red, no pink, and only blue, white, gray and silver. Now taht this template has been on hold for approval, maybe I'll mod the color scheme and release it as a free tempalte with much more girly and sweeter colors.

Haha now brain not working... partay too much. Will continue tomorrow. Thanks guys (and girls)!

simple design and not too glaring. but i dun get y the rose?
it is totally out of the theme? unless its for a florist shop or sumthing
just my 2 cents

manson, it IS for a florist shop
