for the contest New Austin, Texas Law Firm needs New Website!
Submitted design #4
Hi. Here's my entry.Open for feedback. Thanks
We really like this one. Very good first effort. We really appreciated the inclusion of the color scheme chart. Nice touch and we REALLY like the color palette.
Here are our comments;
1. Like the orange.
2. The green (Contact Us, submit) seems a bit dull. It goes well with the orange, but just to see what it looks like with a more vibrant green can you change that color a bit.
3. Really like the top banner. Nice photoshop work. I would like to change the "Be Advised. Be Prepared" tag long location (it is washed out a bit where it is). Maybe move to the top right where the white would contrast nicely with the blue? I do like it under the picture of the "attorneys" as it gives it some impact, but it simply gets washed out.
4. I would like the "Office Address" section to be changed a bit. One of the problems we have is that our office location is a bit hard to find so we need to draw attention to the Directions and Map that we have..... Maybe a nice Button that says "MAP--->" or something creative like that.
5. This one's going to be hard - one of the hard things about Austin is that there are just a ton of "Stock" images that keep getting used by everyone. We anticipate using custom images that we or our photographer will take. But in the mean time, I would like to see everyone try to use/create original images (composite, graphic or otherwise) that spice up the site and add soul and personality.
6. Under the "Estate Planning Information" and Family Law information, can you add some graphic that indicates "click here from more..." Also, can you added another button like this for "Church Law Information." I just want to see what it would look like and if it would fit on the page....
Overall, we really like this. The orange is really different, works well with the logo colors.
6. Under the Practice Areas - I would like to

Really like this overall design. The use of the orange in the have bar is really good.
I think we need to simplify the page. It has too much on it.,
Can you take the Family Law, Estate Planning, and Church Law and run them along the bottom. I want these to be along the page break.....
Also, I'd like to minimize the firm news/latest events to a link...or just a line or two.
Next, the second picture of Austin under the main header is too much. Try it without it so as to increase the white space and the size of the text of the main intro. Also, get rid of the "feature articles" with the three things under it - instead, do a smaller link on the right side that simply says "Latest Articles" with maybe a preview of the first article....not three of them

Really like where this one is going. I think the coordinated color palette and the good use of white space is starting to really shine. I would like to try to create more white space so that the page does not look as crowded.
A few additional comment:
Can you arrange the the boxes under "Law information" horizontally along the bottom with the descriptive text under each box. That will shorten the length of the page so that not much scrolling is required.
Can you swap the locations of the "Contact Us" and the "Office Address" sections? Also, we don't need the full email submission thing on the home page - just the "Contact Us" or "Send Us An Email" . Part of the problem is that any time someone sends us an email, we have to have them see a warning about sending privileged information via this type of email.....so, we need an extra step....also, it will free up space and de-clutter the page.
Add the email - "info@levatinopace.com" at the time by the phone number Not sure how to fit that in with the tel. number and the search box....i'll leave that to you.
Sounds stupid, but add the little RSS feed to the Latest Articles and a link to the Articles & Resources page....from the home page.
I would like to add a "Client Testimonials" Section/Link with a good attention getting box.
Thanks for all the work.
Joel.
BTW - I looked at some of your other winning sites....really like the Medical Staffers one....the openness of it, the use off color. I also like the three boxes that are used - especially the fun little graphic for the link. Can you add something like that to our boxes????

Hi. Here's the revised entry. Thanks
Really like this one. This is almost perfect. I would really like to see how you would do the interior page for one of the practice group descriptions now. Just expand on this concept. Really good effort. Wow....we're really liking this.
The only thing I would like to see some modification to is the top part...let me think on this a bit.
