Hi guys,this is my latest site. Can you guys please check out the site and see if all is in order...I haven't shown it to client yet,will do so tomorrow. I want to know if the site loads fast or slow,if it is too much graphics in other words does it look ok or too much like a Xmas tree?  www.cafedistefano.co.za |

Hi Jenny,
looks great, but the green background I think is a bit too bright and too much for the site and takes away the nice design of it all.
Maybe keep the same fon't style over the front page it looks a little funny with a few different styles I think.

I don't want to get rid of the green vines in the background because the restaurant inside is covered in vines and plants as well,so I wanted to give the feel of the website sitting inside the vines so to speak  ..if you know what I mean. I will try and lighten the vine graphic in Paint.net though..will that be ok you think? Or do you feel that I have to remove the vines altogether? As for the text,do you mean that the text in the middle (content eg about us) should be the same as the content headings? Or do you mean content text should be the same as text on right side of page eg menu,deli etc aka in other words the content text should not be in italic? |

Hi jenny
Nice design, I agree with Graham on the vine background. May i suggest you photoshop it and lower the opacity, the vines will be there but not distracting, my eye keeps being pulled away from the site to the vines. The vines throughout the layout are a nice touch and complimentary. I noticed on restaurant page there is a blue button, is that supposed to be there?

I've been meaning to ask someone about that blue button popping up,but clean forgot about it . I made the headings in button lab and unticked "hover over" etc,yet that blue button keeps on showing up! It only does it with the restaurant text,not the others. Since I can't seem to resolve the problem, I think I will just redo the text image in buttonlab tomorrow when I play around with the opacity of the vines. |

I played around with the opacity of the vines today,but it looks really horrible when I reduced the opacity,so I have decided to leave the vines as they are. Besides,the client really likes the site as it is......
As for the Restaurant heading,I recreated it in button lab, deleted the original button file in exported folder and uploaded,now that pesky blue button is gone.
