Thread: NEW SITE - Clear Blue

Hi Guy's

Please check out my website, www.cbluet.com

Please give me your honest opinion and pinters,

All will be apreciated - the good the bad and the ugly,

Thank you very much,

Marius

Your title shaking back and forth gave me a headache! If I was looking for printer stuff I would bypass this page in about a second.

The background image is cool and I think your header looks good. The NAV buttons are very hard to read. I didn't go any further than your first page.

Anyone else?

Jumping browser bar gives me the jitters after about 60 seconds!
I like most of the colors except the thin red fonts on the bars.
Could be an issue with my eyes but I have trouble focusing on
those. Lots of information on the site. Some of the banners,
I thought were links to more info, but weren't. Like the background.

The vibrating title certainly attracts attention. You have to read it. BUT it is too gimmicky and detracts from the page.
Your page banners are excellent. The pages you have completed are very well laid out. A great professional feel.

Ditto above on earthquake, its important to put yourself in your users ***** (notice we all were distracted by it?).
-when you have something like this: "go towww.tabletkiosk.comfor more information!! or go to "Downloads" page" add the links, users dont want to copy and paste.
-Two NavBars can be a bit confusing, sometimes better to have discrete words with links, but if you decide to keep them might want to get rid of the fade effect for top NavBar.
-very long vertical NavBar

Colors are good, steel blue- modern tech.

Good luck

Liked the site, colors are great. The " earthquake " as Bill called it is enough to make you leave the page. Can't help wanting to steady my monitor so it won't fall. The colors on the buttons made it difficult for me to read. The links I tried all were fine. Good luck.

I disagree with the assessment of how the pages look good. I wouldn't have stayed to see because I glanced at the home page and had no idea what you do or who you are - not from the title, the text or the pictures. The nav buttons against that background hurt my eyes.

Using a "products" button in navigation is a big e-commerce no-no - cuz it doesn't tell anyone anything about the products. And when I did click on them I never really found out about how to order anything I might be interested in. Yep, it was visually interesting - but not something I'd play with when I want to go and order - then I want to find what I'm looking for - see the price - and be able to EASILY place an order.

Pages opened in new windows - which makes me leave the site - I had that dang title bouncing around in 3 windows - and it was too much in one. Remember - just cuz something is fun - doesn't mean it's going to get you purchasers! There's a reason we use lots of white backgrounds with dark lettered text :)

Hi Guy's

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH - I really aprecaite the response!

I will amend and fine tune!

Let you know when it is done,

Take care

Marius

I loved your site mate. That bouncing did get a little out of hand. I'm gonna have to go with Bethers because of all that bouncing and page fading. Very professional though. Great site mate.

yeah site looks good but the jumping on top bar needs to be stationary.

Hey there, South Africa is going huge into cellular phones. I have a lot of connection in that industry for very low cost phones......Let me know

Hey thanks Guys,

really aprecaite the postitive feedback!

I agree - the bouncing drives me nuts! - Sounded good at the time - Will fix this!

Sharon - let me know - but I must tell you that the mobile market is extremely competitive and there are 1000's of players but no harm in trying, expecially if it is something different!.

Please let me know, (clear_blue@icon.co.za)


Thanks

Marius

Greta site. I didn't realy like the buttons: the ones at the top and bottom. they're a bit to bright, if you make them a bit greyer i'll think they'll be better.
