Hi all.

Thought my current site could do with a makeover - it lacks imagery and looks a little plain, and it's supposed to be showcasing graffiti!

I'm not a designer, I just know a little XHTML and CSS but my mate knocked up a couple of designs and i've been working with them.

The current site is www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk

My new version is http://www.yorkshirejunkies.co.uk/new (Working fine in FF, think there are a couple of bugs to sort for IE6/IE7).

What do you reckon? All the graffiti at the top was overkill for me at the start, but it's really grown on me.

In case you're wonderinng about the "hello our latest image" - a lot of graffiti artists use "hello my name is" stickers like below, so I thought i'd knock something up similar which could display the latest image in our gallery!

Feedback appreciated!
 
Wow I really like it :)
I'd be semi tempted to have an option to increase the font size, I know that the browser can probably do that for most people but just because it is quite a small font from standard.
I'd also be tempted to try and make the links more obvious on the right hand side.

Other than that it looks really slick, I don't think the graffiti is overkill seems to suit the theme.
 
Cheers. :)

I thought the links on the right were OK, I don't want to make them too in your face. If you scroll over them then the text goes to white and the little buttons appear which I think is nice - could do with some better images though!

Will bear in mind the font thing - the only thing is the content starts quite low down anyway due to the big header so don't want users having to scroll down too much to read stuff.

Thanks for the feedback. What were you viewing it on btw?
 
Firefox,
If you site is aimed at young people they shouldn't be blind old gits so I wouldn't worry about it. But in these days of accessibility it might be something to bare in mind.

I know the links become obviously links when you hover over them but personally I always think that is bad. Perhaps you could make the image always present but greyed and then it turns white when you hover.

I'm also not entirely convinced by the extra long lines under these links, look a bit out of place.

(I'm really having to be picky to find fault, I think on the whole it looks great)
