[stoke1863]

Hi guys im smashing my head on the desk right now! You know when you just have no idea what to do with a design i have a complete brain fart right now

Anyway im doing a very quick basic and easy design for a freind of mine. Hes a very good guy and a decent coder but has NO design skills knowledge.

His current site is bettawebdesigners.co.uk

Ive just mocked up a very simple and generic design for him but what i have designed is not exactly brilliant. Its missing something but im not sure what, It needs more images down the left hand sides but i have no idea.

Anyway guys can you help me?

in all honesty the login is there just for the sake of it. It realy does need something down them sides but im at a loss.

The location is what he wants im not making his site so i dont realy care. The location basicly means he lives in stoke but hes in london a lot but yea i agree pointless.

Noted on the text spacing and reflections it does look better with your suggestions.

out of interest do you do this as your job or hobby etc? i like making website but i'm not the best at designing them, and have always wanted to team up with someone who i can pay to design, leaving me to do what i'm better at.

Hobby. Now and again ill do some freelance work but that is VERY rare i do this. Although i have been selling some stoke city designs on large canvas. Sold about 30 large canvases

I do work in a web department for real work but that has zero work with webdesign and coding and all to do with product maintance and all that,

You know when a site cocks up its prices being too low and then evreyone orders it. Thats usualy my fault!!
