Hey! Thanks for the input. I do like it a bit dark and foreboding but maybe some lighter more colorful items could make it pop. It's a work in progress. My main goal was to get on site shopping and ditch Etsy. Now I'm gonna fine tune it a bit.
Things are going good. Trying to get things rolling again after going through some things and being a bit lazy with it. How have things been going with you?
I've been looking into laser engravers, and I'm hoping to be able to do some engraving like we talked about awhile ago. Hopefully in the next few months if all goes well.
Hey mate!! Welcome back
If you ask me - the website is a bit too dark - I've been in the design business, not a designer myself, but my ex business partner and friend was a great designer and I learned how to look at things when dealing with a site design.
I would go for something a bit lighter and more minimal - then again, I like bright things and I like stuff to have a lot of white in it
An example of overall design would be this site for instance:
http://kzxtreme.com/http://www.31three.com/I picked them up from here:
http://sixrevisions.com/design-showcase-in...or-inspiration/.. in case you would like to scour for more inspiration
How's stuff going?
So why are pirates called pirates?????......... They just RRRRRR.
I was going for a dark and somewhat techy look. I'm much happier with this site than the previous version.
Those are some very clean designs COSMIN
But they don't really have much in the way of conveying the whole "pirate" vibe that sorta pervades the Von brand. I see what you mean about lots of white having a clean classic look
But in this case, the dark and dark green serve to give a "dark" vibe which sorta matches the overall vibe of the brand. Making a site like Von's that bright and happy would just not be Metal.
Not to say that these picks are only for Metal. But man oh man are they ever perfect for Metal
