Working on a new website for the community in my village. In dutch we call it a "Gemeenschapshuis".
The image in the header still has to be fixed, waiting for some better weather so i can make a new nice picture. What do you think of it this far?

thanks, too bad the customer wants to try the other design some one else made in photoshop, but i totally dont like it, so maybe i'm gonna sell this one or use it for some other site.
Hope when he see's the other design that he doesnt like it either cause it doesnt has the colours or the logo that are being used by the community.

Hi Bramus,
very, very nice. I like your fresh colorscheme and the form of header and footer.
There is one little thing, which could be seen in firefox and opera in the orange part between header and left menu. Kind of shadow or horizontal stripe.
Best regards

Thanks Uwe, this is due the image slicing in photoshop, it is still in development. But as i said the customer didnt like this very mutch.
He wants a blue concept, why is a strange question to me cause the official logo is also red/orange, and in the blue design is either no logo or the colours in the logo, so i think it is a strange choice. I will have contact with them tomorrow to see why they changed, i think 1 of the chairmen his friends made the concept and he wants to stay friends or something like that.

Always the same story!
Orange/red on blu sounds really nice. :-o

it looks GREAT!
Well done profi design.
Vraag me alleen af, of die aktiviteitenkalende r een WB mod is??
Kan je daar wat meer info over geven (mag ook via een DM).
-
De activiteitenkalende r is een wb module ja, bookings v2.12, maar is niet echt wat ik zoek.
And the design is going to be deleted cause the customer wants a blue concept no red/orange anymore. I dont know why cause the colors in the logo are also red/orange and those are also the colors used in our community.
Blue is used by other community's around our village so i totally dont see the logica of it and i'm not statisfied with a blue layout. They will contact me and i try to tell them this and then i hope they know what i mean.

I like the header design, apart from the combination with the red background. Very tricky combination to use in a visually pleasing way if the colors are so vibrant. They can be used together if the colors are more subdued or fade into each other. But hard bordered, vibrant red and orange clash. So, I think blue background will actually look better.

Bramus,
Site looks good. Very good. Seems to be in line with the "corporate design" of De Wieksjlaag too. I too am very curious why they suddenly decided on BLUE as a leading color for the site. I guess some people just don't understand anything about design....
One remark: In the top-menu, you use the red for the menu_current. In the left-menu, that isn't the case. Which is inconsistent ;-)
-
Finally after some e-mails and some switches in the board of this organisation i can continue on the site. And guess what, i can keep this design!
They agreed this design was better looking. Only thing i need to do is shoot some new pictures of the building that will fit into the header.
Also i wanted to make the header in the bottom straight, so not a bit to the top but just one line, this will look better in the menu i think.
Hope that i can shoot some nice pictures tomorrow if the weather is good. Then i can finally test my new Nikon D60 :D
-
That is really cool ... I would just try something different with the top menu it should be "out of line" like the image.
cheers

The header where the top-menu is located is going to change so it will be inline :) Cause i dont like it how it is now. Hoping for some better weather so i can shoot a nice picture of the building these days.

Did some modifications yesterday and today, hope this is better now, if anyone has any idea's just let me know so i can try to work on it. I havent found any problems yet with different browsers, but if you notice something i appreciate it if you let me know.
