Title: My own place
Post by: tessed on November 13, 2008, 02:03:25 PM

Hi bakers,

After constant comments from my girlfriend that the former look and feel of my website ( www.desse.nl ) was not so so, i decided to recycle a design i had made some time ago. Now i added the green background with white font color and on the right i added a login form just for looks :)

What do you fellow bakers think of this simplistic design?

Regards,

Tyronne

hi,

at the moment i make a green site, too.

your green in the main content and the withe fontcolor is no good contrast and no warm or beautiful color it's a faint color...!

only for my opinion..... :-)

the overview and the mainpoints of the design are nice!

 :-D

regards martin

Hi Martin,

At first i had the font color set to dark grey, would that be better? I want to keep the green, because that green and the blue are my main colors.

If I do understand correctly,
You want write about designing a page, hosting and so on - I have no idea about Your language.
In the portfolio You show some pages - so I guess.

I mean with this green on a white site and white text this is no go, absolutly no go.
And if You want someone to ask You for creating, recreating or whatever - You must provide something eye-catching. He must see, love and want to have.

Me, personally, wouldn´t try to read what You are writing, because I´m flashed in the very first 0,002 seconds when I look at this color-combination and cannot fast enough switch back.

Sorry - You asked what I think.

I like green/white or green/yellow a lot. Really I do - my "almost own" page is green/yellow.
But this yellowgreen background and small white text, surrounded by a big white area - never.

Try setting the green to the grass-green, same than the picture, but the darker part. Than the white text will be better seen, and break the bright white background, set it to slightly grey or deep black, so Your eyes are leaded to the beautiful colored part of the screen.

And this lost peace of login-box? a minimum could be to frame it - so it appears as card, box or however You want to call it. Right now it looks like missing everything.

Ok, as i wasn't hundred percent convinced about the white font color and your honest opinion as a visitor i decided to change the color to something darker.

The border around the login form is something for later.

 :-D Is much better now.

But still the login, and there annother thing: The link "Forgot Details" set it in a new line, so it doesn´t break.
