Submitted design #126
Hi,
I am submitting another design with several changes to the layout as mentioned below.
- I have given a bubble look to the menu bar, recent news and what we offer tabs.
- the two intro sections have been covered with a light blue colour box to give more water look to the site.
- I have modified the text links and the copyright tag at the bottom with a new look.The banner images could be changed as you wish. Also if you have free time, please be kind enough to review #76.
Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
Yes I too agree with your comments. Please check this design. I have given a glossy & shiny look to the entire site and moved the news section to top. Kindly let me know your comments.Thanks.

#62: This is one solid design. We would obviously replace most of the images with some more applicable ones if we were to choose this design.
The layout is pretty solid. Let's try switching the news to the top of the "What We Offer" Section.
What is keeping this design back is the "wow" factor. This is a solid, informational website but we just need that je n'ai sais quois....
The menu bar, logo, and really the entire design need some sprucing up. I don't really know how to describe it, but they need to go from dull to shiny, matte to glossy, ... ???
Does that make any sense? It needs some more POP!
I'd like to hear your suggestions on how to improve it....

Actually, the news section from #50 is exactly what I was talking about for #46. #50 is an improvement over #41, though I like the layout of #46 better.
All designs except #46 are eliminated, though I may refer back to them for design elements!
These are great redesigns! You've stepped up your game and have earned four stars!
I look forward to your small tweaks and can't wait to see your redesigns!

So I really like the redesign of #46! That is my favorite design so far! It's sharp, professional and clean. I'm a big fan of the design!
#41: This is a great example of a designer taking the comments from a contest holder and executing! I really like how the logo fits in with the menu bar! The multi-level item fits well. What do you think? Do you like it or do you like the single line?
I think #46 utilizes space a little better than #41, even though the menu bar turned out great!
#46: I'd like to incorporate the idea of the menu bar from #41 into #46. Just shift the menu bar to the right a little and drop the logo and increase the text size.
Let's also move the "What We Offer" box up a little bit closer to the menu bar and increase the size of the "Latest News Box" to allow a headline and brief text after the headline. Still only two items. I really like the fade that you've incorporated into the background and the DNA looks great in the background of the header. I like that I have a large amount of text still available in the main area for words.
The main image probably will change in the end, but I like how you've made the edges blended in, with no sharp defining line.
I like the green from the menu bar in #50, but let's just make #46's active tab green and see how that looks. Instead of black in the menu bar, let's see what white text would look like.

crystalgrafix,
Great redesigns! It's tough to figure out which one I like best. I'll probably pick your selection based on the layout of the design, since the images for whatever design we pick will probably be selected after the competition! -
