Hi,

I've been working on your site for the past couple days, basically have it completed. You can let me know your thoughts. I used text from other lawn care sites as dummy text for now so you can change that to your actual text upon completion. Most of this site was built manually (not one big image in Photoshop) so what I'm showing you is html and not a screenshot. I'm also doing CSS for it as well to enhance and control the fonts. Hopefully this is to your liking. I tried to keep it simple, elegant and professional.

Any thoughts, feedback, suggestions is appreciated.

Well, here is my sample. Plz. don't be confused by the space available. The content can extend down as much as you want since the grass is a repetitive pattern that can cover any extension. What I tried to do here is a website that can catch the attention of the visitor immediately. I suggested some titles that might or might not work with your interests but that are usefull in any site. Take care,

I like the design --- I think we could work on the font and layout of the itemized services on the left -- I'll have some pics we can use later, but for now it looks nice.

Anne -- I'm sorry it looks like too much verbage and not enough plant material -- I do like the itemized services on the top, but I think they need to be larger in font -- more recognizable
Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Tim

Will,

I love the layout. The itemized services are perfect. I would like to work on the top design -- too much grass not enough landscape. Can we use pictures on the top -- I'm working on mine, but for now use any pics you want to. If you look at the longhorn site mentioned above, It has three pics across the top. Also, I would like to use the NEW CutttersLawnandLandscape.com logo listed above. Let me know what you think.

Thanks, Tim

Pickadesign,

I love the sign w/ cutters basic on it and the small icons w/ the sun. I'm worried there is too much space w/ verbage -- we need more pictures -- I'll supply them a little later. For now just use whatever you have -- Again -- my business is very visual!!!


thanks,

Tim

Adriane -- I like the layout. Everything looks good with the exception of my logo. They yellow ground is too much. Also, If you could use the new url found in the post above, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the feedback.

Here is a variation :)

I'm not quite sure what's your new url, is www.cutterslawnandlandscape.com ? I saw that you have it already written inside the logo, do you want to use it like text too? Do you want a specific location for it?

If you still want to use the url on the page , I thought I can place it below the menu with the company contact info, so on either page your visitors will be they will find easy your contact info.

Let me know what do you think.

Cheers,

Adrian

Hi, I tried to fulfill your request on the changes and I made 2 variants but speaking honestly I prefer by far the main concept I worked on, I like the way the shapes convey into an unique design, the strong colours and the feeling of the subject well enhanced (what can I tell you but I am a fan of the finished concepts and also a picky designer).

Here are the variants

VARIANT 1
