Thanks for getting back so quickly. Here are a few thoughts on the first design concept.
The overall color ended up being a little too subdued. I think it’s mostly the blue.
I can see that you took the concept from drmooso.com, The gray with a little green looks good on that site, but the slate blue on our design is a little bland.
Now that I have seen it again, I have decided that the -parallax scroll effect/underlay image is too busy and distracting. I do like the layout of that design and the mountain as a shadow behind the top banner area, but it’s not necessary.
The image of a mountain behind the bottom section might work, I’d like it to; but it will depend on what the final colors are to see if it will look good.
I do like the hand drawn graphics for the featured services.
The caduceus being used in place of the letter ‘T’ is too large for it to look like a ‘T’., But I do think that this simple design could be just fine for a logo! We are still working on a logo, and I do remember you saying that you would get me a quote for a logo design.
Here are two sites that I think are closer to what we are looking for:
01.) jonathanstillmd.com
The blue color here is more prominent and a good neutral. The overall colors work well together. I also do like the curve in the banner as a little unique element. The other pages have a smaller horizontal banner, which is just fine.
I also like the sidebar boxes that stand out and the gradient blue tones in them.
02.) gastroassoc.org
The layout of this site works well. The banner is a bit smaller so the navigation bar can still be seen without having to scroll down. The colors here, again, stand out more and show definite section separation. Although the colors in jonathanstill are probably the best. This site also has a side bar for quick access to info on each page.
I also like the defined boxes at the bottom as opposed to having all the topics appear as one section.
A few more notes-
We would prefer to use natural landscape images, our own if possible, in the banner and not models/people. Probably a slideshow of 3 – 4 images.
I realize you asked me to only look at the design & colors, but a couple things I noticed:
— We will not be having a make an appointment button or schedule an appointment section.
— We do not want to feature RFA, that needs to be removed as a page on the navigation bar.
–There really isn’t much info from the old site that is accurate or up to date. It would really be helpful to see the current info up in the design to help get a good overall picture with the new areas of focus. We are still updating information and patient forms into the google drive folder.
Thanks again for your efforts and working with me on this project. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
