Corporate website

It’s just like buses. We haven’t used TP for a while and all of a sudden we have two projects out there using it. Last week was 3 steps to fertility and this week it’s Merchant House

I’m quite pleased with the results of Merchant House’s site. Let me know what you think.

Re: Corporate website

Very well done, I especially like the 3 steps to fertility site.

Clean design, easy to get to the info you need.

Re: Corporate website

I love the designs you have there — they’re really fresh and new for the type of website. The only thing that could use tweaking would be your largest set type. You seem to have really good control of the smaller text, but the large type seems a little awkward in the header and navigation of the 3 steps to fertility site. The plain italic type seems to do injustice to the beautiful baby’s visage. It seems like the friendliness of the face can be reflected on the type as well especially considering that the type is an image. As it stands, it appears very sterile and typical of design in the medical field. The rest of it isn’t typical, but awesome.

The text in the tan area of the Merchant House Group’s website suffers the same problem. The buttons above it are beautifully done, but the test below it seems less polished. It might just need a leading tweak.

Overall, I’m impressed. Keep it up!

Re: Corporate website

Thanks all for you positive comments.

brian.zerangue – there a few plugins used on Merchant House’s site. glz_crumbs is used for the breadcrumb and the rest relate to the referer stats so don’t get seen on the front end.
