for the contest One-page Corporate Design: Top 3 winners paid
Submitted design #3
Hi, this is my first design, I have used Arial because I don't have the fonts that you mentioned in the brief and Berkeley is a commercial font, I will purchase it if I win and change the design accordingly. btw, I like detailed briefs so thank you for that.
I have tried to make it go with the print design as you can probably see from the header area of the page content, the h2 sub titles and the content.
The unhovered link in the body of the text is the word consectetur, the hovered link is deserunt mollit and the visited link is the consectetur adipisicing.
The menu hovered link is "Our Customers" and the current page link is the JumpStarts link
If you have any questions please contact me and I look forward to your feedback.
Thank you

Overall this design is OK. I like some of the elements in it and I'll mention those.
The body area is nice. I like the "top of page" link - nice touch - and the team login.
I like the grey box areas on the left. I think those could be spiced up a bit with some colors and/or icons.
The navigation I'm torn on. On the one hand, I like seeing all the stuff open. But it seems large and it might overwhelm people. If this sounds wishy-washy it's because I'm not sure what I think. I think it might be made to work, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for showing all 3 link types. I appreciate your attention to this point.
I don't think that the image works faded out like that. Also the little square is just too little of the image to show.
It's a nice idea to re-use the whitepaper/PDF design for the page title, but I don't think it works. Clever and a good idea to try, but I don't think it works.
The breadcrumbs set off in their own color box are good.
