I could use some constructive criticism on this site design...

DRU · 10-15-2005, 09:00 PM

If you have some free time please take a look at www.kennyshardwood.com and let me know how you'd like it if you were purchasing hardwood flooring.

Design flaws? Improvements that could be made? Look good? Anything you can tell me would be great.

Thanks!

Real good site, the only question I have is the picture of the factory flooring right on the front

Pretty nice site. Simple and to the point is best,.,

irishjayhawk · 10-15-2005, 09:16 PM

I might try going with no borders on the tables for data. Or specify the color (black) and perhaps width.

bishop_74 · 10-15-2005, 09:17 PM

OK. I like the layout. Well organized and easy to navigate. I would also think about throwing some more pictures on the front page. Way too much grey for me. Show off the product a bit more. Also, shrink the crap out of that Nascar sponsor and feature it on the side as a subset of something else... It's a good thing to have, but it looks like kenny's hardwood is marketing one type of customer. Unfortunatley, trailer homes don't need hardwood floors.

Picture of factory flooring? That main image on the home page randomly displays different images. I guess you're talking about the one of our warehouse stacked high with hardwood??? Is there something no so eye-pleasing about that?

I'm not sure what you're talking about here...??

The main reason I can't do this is because boss-man wants it large like that. Also, though, I think you may be underestimating the significance of being an actual NASCAR team sponsor. There aren't any small companies (or at least not many) that have the money to sponsor an actual team. It shows we're a large business that isn't here to rip you off. At least, that's the idea.

I'll play with the front page design a little bit and see if I can come up with spots for some extra pics. If it wasn't for the fact that stats show there are still MANY people using resolutions as low as 800x600 I wouldn't have to limit myself to that small of an area to work with.

I like it. Simple and to the point. Very easy to navigate with the navigation bar on top.

I like everything as its simple and elegant. THe tables you use that have pricing and other data in them should sport black borders or no borders at all.

The only borders I have on the pages with prices are the dotted divider lines. Are you getting some other sort of border on these tables???

irishjayhawk · 10-15-2005, 10:10 PM

In firefox.

its on this page: http://www.kennyshardwood.com/nofma/...ralSanding.asp

If needed ill take a screenie.

DRU · 10-15-2005, 10:20 PM

Ah, yes. Those particular tables do need to be cleaned up, however, they do have black borders in IE. Dreamweaver check didn't say anything about errors on that with Firefox so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. I'll have to look into it.

thanks!

irishjayhawk · 10-15-2005, 10:29 PM

Yeah. I don't know why those are the default borders because they are extremely ugly.

KChiefsQT · 10-15-2005, 10:34 PM

I would brighten it up a bit more. maybe add bolder lines to the menu bars and the grey is dull.... but its very nice as is.
