Advice For My Website Design?
One of my subjects at school involves designing a website for a real client. I have a design I’m working on… but I’m stuck with what to do with it.
Something about it just seems.. off. Does anyone have any ideas when it comes to colour, balance, design, or anything else?
The website is trust fund involving a style of manual therapy, and there is a particular focus in helping children.
They don’t want it to be ‘dry’ and goverenment-type-site looking, but instead friendly and inviting but still official.
Here’s the design: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v691/ChocoboDragon/tombowen.jpg

Any ideas or tips at all will be great, thanks.
