Nothing Fancy, Did for a client

Please take a look at Masley Associates. I did my best at integrating a basic design into textpattern. I never would have guessed how much power this little piece of software has.

Re: Nothing Fancy, Did for a client

I don’t like the combined use of Verdana and Times New Roman much, sorry. And I think the line height for the Verdana text is too small.
The counter is adding up with every page load, I hate that…
Otherwise, nice quiet colours and layout.

Re: Nothing Fancy, Did for a client

For example on your about page, under ‘Highlights of Qualifications’, that looks like Times to me. It’s not that I don’t like the font, but I’d apply the same font to all text in the main content area to give it a ‘quieter’ look (but that’s just my taste).
I would find the Verdana text on this page better readable with a line-height of about 16px.

Edit: I checked and it’s indeed Times New Roman, it’s the default font for my browser, if I change that your font changes as well. So that means you did not set the font-family for some parts of the content. You can check it by setting the default font for your browser to someting unusual, and you’ll see what I mean.

Re: Nothing Fancy, Did for a client

I echo Els’s comments about the fonts.
Your CSS doesn’t define Georgia anywhere so our browsers are displaying Times…

Not sure you need the Century Gothic for your H2 headings either – I think I would stick with Verdana for those. Even with Georgia, three or more fonts that are quite different is getting messy.

Colours and layout are good though.
