I decided to change the image that produces the fading in the sidebar buttons when you hover over them, because I created higher buttons that needed longer images (110px high), but I have a feeling it looks worse now. I used http://patorjk.com/gradient-image-generator/
Could you give me your opnion and tell me which is better
Well… I’d change some colors. Top header color doesn’t match page palette, It’s red, while the rest of the page uses different shades of brown. Also, I’d change blue color of subheaders to some other shade. It looks too “default” and reminds me early web when all links had that color.
Hmm… it has hex color #910000, i.e only red channel, while brown usually has some green and blue as well
So I think it’s dark red. But this is not a big deal.
I’ve done a few changes to the buttons and took out altogether the large image above the content, as it was a repetition of the main page and unnecessary.
