Feedback From Peers

Today I have been asking for some comments regarding colours on my website. My current design is a lemon shape background with blue writing. I asked the people on my course to give some feedback. The background has been something which is quite popular and worked well which is pleasing but people have claimed there has been problem with the blue and that they have found it difficult to read and that the font could do with changing. So this is something I will look at doing.

From the feedback regarding my lemon background is quite pleasing for me the reason I did this is because a lot of the practitioners I have looked at mainly use a black and white background so I feel that doing a yellow background makes my site out and its quirky. In the future I may look at doing a logo based around a lemon. Maybe make this part of my brand.

So this is my original homepage with the blue writing. For myself it works because the blue and yellow seem to work together but as other people have commented on it I have decided to look into trying some other colours to see if I can improve on this.

I have decided to go with purple instead because I feel that with the yellow and purple being contrasting colours it means that the text will stand a little easier to read. I have also changed all the text to Times New Roman and removed the shadow so this will not effect the readers when they are reading my site. I will then apply this to all my pages after to keep a running theme though out my work.

Other feedback regarding my was that my buttons at the top of the page where a bit large. I had changed the original menu because I felt that the writing was a little small and by changing to buttons it would allow the viewer to scroll though the pages a little easier but I have adjusted them to a smaller size now.
