Project 2 - Website Final

Post by wbenavente »

I had difficulties programming and spent a lot of time researching solutions for this and that. Finally I can catch up with sleep.

Original website:
http://www.vividhairsalons.com
Redesigned website:
http://www.grc175.com/student/spring_20 ... b_p2_root/


Aaaaaaand this is project 1 with Project 2 link in it. I read we were supposed to post this one too so here you go. Hope I did this right too D:

I think what you've done looks great. I like that you didn't keep the colors from the original site... that background is bad.
The only thing I can say for constructive purposes, is maybe link from project 2 to project 1? I didn't see a link for that, and it might be useful.

Lol ikr? They stayed true to the "vivid" part of their name.
And thanks for pointing that out! I updated my site and added a projects page!

Very well done. The grid layout is good the typography is decent except on the instructor page it's a little small and hard to read. The Google map integration on the contact page is a great touch. On your homepage you might want to try and Make the Headline, aka your name, live type. Google looks for

Code: Select all

<h1>
tags first and your name should come up first for good google searching (SEO). ORRRRRR if you don't want to mess up the cool graphic you could add an <h1> tag for a subhead on your body copy saying introducing "-name-" or about "-name-" . Other than that GOOOOOOOOdddddddd!!!!!!!

Looks hot. The font on the pages with descriptions is a little small and hard to read.

I'm amazed how great it looks! I like each page and each redesign is very well done and clean. I would think that this page was done by a proffessional... well you are hehe. Great job I like everything you did! ^_^v

See, that first project is just awesome. Love the watercolor look!

Very nice work on the second as well. The gradient adds a subtile depth that gives the impression of a magnified strand of hair. The layout is clean and easy to use and I have no trouble navigating it. The website feels very professional and very "real" to me. I think it's the clean geometry of the layout that does it. That and the very well done margins and padding. I also enjoy all the little details like the social media links at the top and the copyright text at the bottom. You even used a table correctly!

My only issue is that at my monitor resolution, your type is very small. I can still read it, but only just.

Also, LOL Bing Maps!

Very nice work, indeed.
