Another Redesign - Website Critique

[Timmo]

Redesigning another one of my sites and just wanted to see how people feel about the header?

original: Forest Advertising - Home - Forest of Dean Business Directory and tourism guide for the Forest of Dean - www.forestadvertising.co.uk

new: Forest Advertising - Business Directory and Tourism Guide - Forest of Dean - Homepage

Not bad Timmster.

The first one did have a bit too much white for me whilst the new one has a nice subtle colour scheme.

The new one also fits the 1024x768 browser size a little better. A unique design also.

Needs some improvements as there's some spaces that need to be filled :icon_smile:

Have 99% finished now. Anything that I have missed or needs adding?

Personally I would extend the left and right coloured panels into the footer part, extend the white main body of the page also into this area and move the "site designed/links etc" below.

Look at the solution in this thread which will stop your site shifting around...

What is that creature, he's not looking too happy, in the bottom part of that photo there must be a wolf biting its legs off :icon_biggrin:
