Website Redesign. Feedback, Suggestions, Problems

Thanks It should be sized for the header.

Please tell me exact size in pixels..and text on the logo.

The header height is 181 px & width of 950px. I guess 140-150 px should be the height & width should also be simlar. Rest is upto upto you.

The colours should match with blue. White would look nice I guess but if you think some other color looks nice then go ahead with it.

Thanks

IMHO:

being a tech site, clouds, birds, flowers don't look good and make no sense

but nice design for a misc banner, i like the design of the first 1

The design's nice but as iMav said a tech site shouldn't have clouds & birds.
You've got nice skills

Guess you forgot site logo.

When I try to save the website for offline viewing, the upper white header, blue header and the menu image is not saved. Why? I tried in IE7, Opera 9 and FF 2.
And I notice that ur blue header is a part of background.

No time for any other advice other than remove that useless visitors locations thing. IMO it has no relevance to your website and looks just plain out of place. Spice up that sidebar with some other stuff.

Err.. No idea about offline browsing I use CSS, maybe that's the reason.
The blue header is not a part of the background. It's a separate image.

ClustrMaps relevance? I like it when it's all filled up with visitor dots.

Sorry.. was busy with other work and my Airtel MO was too slow.
I designed this header with logo. I will change the colors if that looks like a Reliance logo to you. Fonts can be changed too. I was not sure which background to add.. I think white does look good.

Hey the logo is cool

I prefer blue background & red won't look good on blue i guess. And as far as font is concerned did you like the current header font I am using? It's Myriad Pro.

Another thing I wanted are a couple of gadgets like a notebook & a cellphone in the header so that the user can know the kind of content from the header itself. What do you say or do you have some other idea?

If possible, give me two. One with blue background & one with white.

Thanks a lot for your efforts

And yeah, i don't think it's similar to reliance logo

I 've done logo in red and blue and it looks nice with white bg. I 'll 've to change colors if u want a blue bg.

Didn't u like the red and blue colors that I am using for the logo and text?

Yeah I had thought of adding some gadgets like a MacPC, mobile,iPod but for the last few days my net was too slow...so couldn't search for any pics. Anyway I have this wallpaper and another abstract wallpaper. They will look good for bg. I will try to make a customized bg btw.

About the font, I think Myriad Pro looks good as a content text but too much simple for header text. You can look for Sans Serif fonts here or suggest me any.

 

[narangz]

Yes, I prefer blue bg & if you make different versions of it then please provide links to them

From the link you gave I liked almost all of the fonts. However I am naming a couple of them just to give you the idea of my choice:

*www.dafont.com/aubrey.font
*www.dafont.com/steiner.font
*www.dafont.com/eurofurence.font
*www.dafont.com/existence.font

You can use whatever font you like(not limited to above mentioned) & plz add a couple of gadgets too.

Thanks a lot.

I made this few designs. The bg source links are given in post# 52.

I will send you the PSDs tonite(possibly) but some of the text layers are rasterized(only 1 layer)...so you won't be able to edit them.

I guess the forum itself is reducing the dimension.
