Hey guys,

I've just started making a website for my dad's business. He's trying to put out info for clients and prospective customers and just general public etc etc..

So far it's just the one page - the pics arent full quality and all the text is bullshit - but I just needed to get a basic design down.

I'm basically just after some opinions and ideas if that's possible.

Thanks!

..Linky..

Noice one J!

At the moment the heirarchy is loosing me a little bit though - I think you just have to step back and ask what are the most important pieces on the page, that need to hit the person and tell the story.

For me, the welcoming text got a little lost - both because of the colour blending in, and the font size. From there, my eyes aren't quite sure where they want to head - I guess it could use a couple of extra "catch phrase" pieces of text or headers to break the content into quasi bite-sized chunks (easier to digest), to give it more (but more importantly, tighter and flowing) contrast.

Strong, dominating photography used as a constant page element, is always great at telling a story and integrating with content, in the event there isn't too much.

I'd also consider having less containers (some seem to be a little bit lost floating out by themselves), and using just a few dividers so that everything flows together and plays nice.

Hope something in there helps a bit :)
