Site Critique

it's a good start but needs work to polish it off.

nice logo, wasn't my favourite one but a good choice over some of the suggestions.

rest is comments on just improvements as i'm not going to waste time listing everything i like.


i don't think the colours work well together. you've got quite a bright cream and a dark green which don't mix well. also don't like the fade effects on the cream boxes.

none of the text sits well at all and everything needs rethinking. one minute the text is like a newspaper, then left aligned. also the line height isn't big enough on the larger text. also it's not spaced correctly. go to services page and the header is very close to the border of the box and the line under it. then go to the paragrahg and the margin is larger.

i also think the site is too big. the watch is fine as it stands out but the rest seems chunky.

when you hover over the button links at lower left there is a very small difference to show it's a link. i'd say have a greater difference so you know it's a link.

not keen how the second cream box is in a black box.

i like when the footer can be shown higher up the page. you've listed brands you specialise in and it's being lost as i have to look at bottom of screen. perhaps add a margin-bottom: 150px; to the footer

i'd say the contact form needs a little more work to make it nicer. it's centre aligned and looks a little oddly placed. make it looks like the enquiry form with the labels (which don't work btw) to the left and the input to the right.

edit: ttnc.co.uk get yourself a virtual landline number and redirect that to your mobile. looks much better. people are sending you their luxury watch which could be worth a fortune so they need to trust you aren't some random guy who will run away. if you have a landline there is less chance of this.

I think it looks quite good. The overall feel is quite regal and smart and everything seems to work. You're using the SEO WP plugin so you should be covered there if you put some time into your descriptions etc.

I don't like the logo, well, the UK bit tagged on to the end. It doesn't look very good with the thick typeface, which doesnt appear to be aligned.

There is a full stop on the testimonial page all on its own.

I'm not convinced by the orange. Maybe you were going for gold, but it doesnt come across like that. Personal preference rather than serious flaw though.

What full stop? Thank you for all the input though.
 
With the logo, I would suggest using the same typeface throughout but use a grey for the uk part. That way the watch repairs bit will really stand out.
 
Might be nice to have some pictures of the watches being repaired, give people a sense of what the process actually is and a chance to show how professional you look :P

Might just be me but I think the text is a little on the large side?

Appreciate all your comments, I hadn't noticed most of them. Will see what I can do in the next couple of days. I've added a landline number also. Thank you.
