SITE DESIGN FEEDBACK (new)

[Pipp]

Check out what the designer has done so far... She still has to add the icons, which hopefully will improve it -- considerably.

I don't like it at all, personally, I prefer my original andStephie's banners -- andBecknutt's banner, too(at the bottom of the Library Banner thread, here: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=29705&forum_id=56).

This is changed from her first version that was the same except with a lot of purple. :shock:I had asked for the color scheme to remain similar (green, blue, pink -- like meadows, sky and bunny noses) but either I'm not explaining it well or shehates that color scheme.

I did ask to see what a textured salmon backgound would look like with lighter boxes (like the stogiechat site she also designed -- http://www.stogiechat.com/cigar-forum -- but what she came up with looks more orange to me.

So what does everybody think?

Honestly?

First of all It's not Rabbit's Online.net

It's Rabbits Online or RabbitsOnline.net. Unless a rabbit owns the site - could be Rabbits' online if multiple rabbits own it....

I do like the look however, it's neat, looks professional in a sense.

Ok... I'll finish looking.

 

[JadeIcing]

Like the look...HATE the color.

 

[undergunfire]

Yuck! I hate pink, lol.


I hope we can change color schemes through our accounts . It's going to take a long time to get used to a "new" RO.

It stinks sometimes, because when a forum changes or you want to join a new one but the layout looks horrible, you don't want to be on there anymore or join.

I've turned down a few animal forums because of their layouts...they were "ugly to the eye".


Hopefully a nice RO forum layout will be able to happen .

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Yep, I like the orange/peach design.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Umm..... it's not pink - it's peach and salmon.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

hehe..... I just looked at the thread you linked.... I thought it was just our main page LOL>

Actually I like stephanie's banner best

I also kinda like this and the colors:

I LOVE blue

 

[Pipp]

I'd like a lot more greens (and blues) and a touch of pink (or salmon), hate the peach/pink combo. Bigtime.

It's better than the purple.

I did explain that although we're a warm and fuzzy rabbit site, we're not a kids site, it's educational more than cute. Pink and purple don't cut it -- although a some pink (or salmon) may be cool?Dunno.

I had no idea what I was doing when I did the current theme tweaks, couldn't do much at all, but I prefer the current color scheme -- although possibly the textured salmon might work with more deeper greens and blues? Not sure.

And the banner doesn't do much to showcase any rabbits, maybe the font would be liveable if it was in the green it was supposed to be in.

what's this?

 

[Michaela]

Oh, um, well, ah...

I love pink - that's not pink. :?

My honest opinion? I'm not fond of it.. I don't like the textured background or the colours, and the banner? Tbh I could do better with my very limited PS skills.

But I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I'm with you Michaela.

But we don't have to get used to it, we just need to tell her what we want instead. I'm not totally convinced the textured background is the problem, but if it comes down to it, I'll tell her to do a better version of what we already have?

Thoughts?

 

[Pipp]

oh and be sure to open the threads to see what it looks like down a level or two...

I dont like it. :grumpy:

 

[JadeIcing]

To girly. :biggrin2:

 

[Bo B Bunny]

That was one of stephanie's in that banner thread you posted.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

I think that a better version of this is nice.... it would be easier for people to adjust.

That's why I like that one that somebunny did. If she could tweak that.... maybe we could put the "features" on either side of something like that in the center?

I like clean - neat and balanced. I think it looks more professional

I like the layout but HATE the colors and the banner. I personally like the color scheme we have now. I think blues and greens are more gender neutral and not so girly/childish.

I also would like to have a banner like Stephmarie's valentine/adopt a rabbit one we had last time. The one on that sample doesnt stand out at all.
