Ok so here are my home page ideas. I don't have a lot of detail and am still conceiving inner pages but wanted to know which style more appealing before I went to far with one or the other. i am not sure which I like better.

I like your imagery in the second design. But maybe you should have navigation buttons.

[wbenavente]

I'm liking the second design more. The photographs are nice but I would like to see where your blocks of texts are gonna be and maybe work on your navigation buttons too? Otherwise, good start.

Second design. I agree with navigation comments, and I would relocate the logo to make use of the rule of thirds. Nice start.

second rough I think hits the spot. Imagery and layout is really good. great job

Hey there Dave! The second rough has great potential in that the image reflects the restaurants logo. I think you're on to something there. I'm interested to see how you handle the navigation within the layout...I'm thinking maybe you could scoot the sunrise image up to the header area, along with the yellow rectangle, which could be used as a navigation bar. Then perhaps use the breakfast/lunch images as roll over buttons? Also I feel the Squeeze In logo would look better without the white bounding box and with a drop shadow instead to help it stand out against the background image.

I don't see any sample inner pages posed here. Might want to do that so we all can give you feedback.

That being said. I think your second design is the better of the two. I think that your dawn reflects the logo and branding of Squeeze-In very well. I also think the rest of the design works well with the colors present in their logo.

I'd like to see how the navigation turns out with it and what your inner page for the design looks like. However, from seeing the home page I've got a couple of suggestions. Instead of having the white background behind the logo, why not make it transparent and pop the logo off the background with an outer glow or drop shadow. Consider also using a "thinner" dawn picture in a thinner top bar for your inner pages.

A good start, but I would like to see more so I can provide better feedback.

Dave-
I am liking the second one more so than the first. Navigation might look nice above the imagery giving a separation between the background and the other pictures that youre using. Great job!

If I'm looking for a restaurant I want to know what your specials are TODAY, your price range, and if you have a bar. And since this is NV, do you have slots. I don't want pictures of food, because you're going to lie about that, anyway. And a map. Everything else is superfluous. Except for the logo - it must the same that's on the building so I don't miss it when I'm trying to find the place.

I like your second design better because it has the images of yummy food which fits with the kind of place it is. My suggestion would be to add navigation buttons and also to change the background image to a different more higher resolution image because it is kind of fuzzy.
