The font is alright I think, it's just you need to get in and sort the kerning out rather than adjust the letterspacing between all the characters. Like the space between a and r is too big, same with v and e. K and t are pretty much touching, while i looks like it needs to be closer to t.

PS, I wouldn't dis-miss Helvetica just because it's common. Helvetica at large sizes has the most beautiful curves of any type family IMO.

And shit me that made me look like a nerd.
The thing is, Helvetica is the most beautiful and yet simple font in the world now, but even Times news roman looks great when you know how to use it.
Its just so over used.
Times New Roman only looks good when it's the same colour as the background its on. I'm not saying he should use Helvetica because I wouldn't either, but leave it as an option at least.

The sharp corners of the boxes don't go well with the smooth ice imo. I do t know what you could do to fix it though because if the buttons were too round they would look gay. Maybe a different background picture?

I don't know anything about web design though so don't listen to me D:
I don't want people with web design experience coming in here and telling me it fails hard. I want people like you coming in here and telling me that. That is the difference.

I want normal users to tell me what they think because it will be normal users accessing the site for web development, not web designers. I want you to tell me what you would think if you ran into my site and were attracted by it or not. I want you to say "Nah, I wouldn't let them work for me" or "Fuck yeah, these guys look awesome". There is no need for more web designers commenting on this, I already have 3 on it and that's quite enough. I need input from a normal i'net user.
tbh I don't know who these web designers are but there's a lot of kerning problems in the designs on the original site which have been missed.
I couldn't give a shit about the current site, tbh. Precisely why we are trying different things. But if you want to add that in, that's fine, I may have to look into them if we don't get a new design up soon.

I made the current site. Something which I don't usually do because I have no tablet and haven't been using AI or PS much lately. I gave it my shot and it's certainly proving to be better than the new designs.

I don't mean the current site itself, I mean the work you have on it. Like the cupidsays site, the i in cupid is feeling lonely.

Ok, this is what it would be like. Roughly.

Hover over the right hand side of last image you see of the sites and it will scroll for you. Same if you do it on the left hand side.

Meh.

Ok, new idea. Just messing around. I love Rockwell, so I thought I would use it. Again, just messing around, but I think something nice could be achieved.



This is the stock photo, just dumped onto the page:

Yeah, I was lost when it come to colours.

Meh, I guess experimenting is better than nothing. Lets me rule out options.

What are your thoughts on the font itself?

If you were to pick a nice site that wasn't bland and boring, what would it be?

@ twoblacklines : why need to click on anything?


@omega : lulz. It's a photograph of a lightbulb that was iced over. One of my partners took it.

Yeah, so this was a stupid idea. Back to the drawing board.

I have no clue. BF2S is bland and boring, but it works extremely well. I have absolutely no creativity at all, so I can't help you.

It's not about your creativity. I mean, say you jumped onto this site :

http://www.visualboxsite.com/

or this

http://www.polargold.de/

or this

http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/

What would be your opinion?
Creativity has nothing to do with this, just your opinion.

1 is nice, 2 sucks, and 3 is OK. I just meant that I couldn't tell you what to change. I can only tell you what looks good and what doesn't (in my opinion).
