This week I will be redesigning: Cinema Sharks.
In the space of 5 minutes I can identify some of the key strengths and weaknesses of this design, and sketch out a mockup.
As always, I was limited by the 30 minute time-frame, but I tried to improve upon several of Cinema Sharks features, adding a few design flourishes and a clearer layout that promoted content over wasted space:
Here is a quick comparison between the original design and my 30 minute redesign. Sure, my design could be more polished, but I believe that a lot of the basic elements have been improved upon, creating a more pleasant browsing experience.
You can have the chance to have your website redesigned in next weeks post. All you need to do is leave a comment to this post with your website address and why you think it needs a redesign.
NOTE: I can only accept sites with English content, as foreign language websites are simply too hard for me to work with.
So please, leave a comment today for a chance to have your website redesigned next week!

Wow, really cool redesign. I love the icons.
Thanks a lot Trisha! I actually wish I’d had more time with this redesign, as I feel I could have done a lot more. However, hopefully I cleared up some of the issues.
nice redesign. May i know where you got the icons? Thanks.
Thanks Adam! The icons are actually from one of our icon sets: http://psd.fanextra.com/downloads/icons/premium-icon-pack-movies-icon-pack/
Thank you so much! Just remembered I entered, and just found it then! Looks so great, cheers! Fixed a few issues in my mind, will work on it!
Just wondering, have you ever thought of doing blogger templates? Because I don’t know about other guys, but I would pay a ton for something as awesome as this…! Just a thought (:
Thanks a lot, I’m so glad you liked my design
. I don’t have all that much experience with Blogger, but I have been considering doing a theme/template site for a while now. To be honest I could do quite a lot more than this design, but obviously I was held back by the time constraints. I’ve responded to your email btw
.
Good job! Definitely like it better now.
A good redesign, like you mentioned there are a lot of strong elements already in the design so sometimes this can make it either easier or harder to redesign. Although there was a clear grid before I think this has been simplified even more and has made a vast improvement. You really do have to think about not only the visual aspects of the site but also the usability.
