Requires scrolling on 1024 displays. (should not)
Add tagline with focus / location.
I would use a CMS such as wordpress f or something much more usable.
Would you mind elaborating on these two suggestions? I'm not sure I understand
1) Check the alignment
2) Align the designs to a grid
3) Use higher quality images (and format them for the web)
What do you mean with #1 and #2? The only alignment issues I've found is when viewing it on a mobile device the header gets slightly skewed... I'm working on it.
Unfortunately, the images, logos, bullets, colors, layout, etc. are almost entirely out of my hands. I've proposed other ideas (asking for better pictures, etc) and have been shot down.
The main issue is that all of their pictures are either tiny digital copies or physical copies that look poor when attempting to make them digital.
This is a company that for the most part has only used computers for basic accounting. Even email is not commonly used for clients. Consider that the logo on the site is a scan of a business card
For what they've spent on it (I've way under-charged and comped a lot of hours) it seems to fit what they had in mind. I think they feel like the only people seeing the site will be blue collar, dirty, hardworking men who wouldn't notice a slight blur in images or too much centered text.
A lot of people have suggested wordpress and other tools, but for what I'm (They're) aiming for, is there
really much to gain from it?
Thanks again for your time and suggestions, and putting up with the fact that I am an amateur
