Can I have some constructive feedback on my first website please?
It’s only for my eyes only but wanted to learn along the way.
It’s basically a site so I can keep track on few things when I buy fix and sell cars
Not expecting to win any prizes for it just want to learn and I’d like to receive feedback. Oh and the data on the site currently is test data and has no meaning.
Thanks guy! All feedback taken into account and I’ll be looking into them. All the h2(the secondary headers) links are dynamic, Sell link for example isn’t clickable until the project has been marked as completed. Everything is driven through php with a MySQL backend
If this is your first site, it’s a lot better than I did! I love the consistency, but I do have to agree with the other about the color scheme. It’s also very refined, and there is not a lot of unless space, but it also does not feel like everything is cramped.
In the second image, the darker text in the brackets is very hard to read. The only other big thing is that it would be cool to add a custom file upload button, the iOS default looks a bit out-of-place.
I’ve gone to darken the h2 background and lighten the text colour(all passed in that website checker) but now it seems to me that the text is too bright? I’ve tried to go lighter on the background colour but it fails. Any suggestions guys?
Design wasn’t my strongpoint, but a very long time ago at art college if we were set a design brief the first step would be to head up to the library to look through art books for some inspiration.
Likewise for your project, I would be looking through car related websites, autotrader, carwow, restoration websites etc. You may see something and think ‘that’s a nice touch!’.
With regards the current design, I think the font size could go up a pixel or two, and some extra line spacing would be an improvement and make navigation easier e.g. clicking on links with fat thumbs.
It can be quite handy to use the browser’s inspector as a design tool (F12 in Chrome and Firefox). You can select elements in the page, right-click and click on inspector, then try different settings on the fly.
For example here messing around with colours and font-sizes on a heading.
