In the space of 5 minutes I can identify some of the key strengths and weaknesses of this design, and sketch out a mockup.
STRENGTHS:
WEAKNESSES:
As always, I was limited by the 30 minute time-frame, but I tried to improve upon several of Digital Printing Service’s features, adding a few design flourishes and a clearer layout that promoted content over wasted space:
WHAT I TRIED TO DO:
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.

Looks very good… simple, sweet and good colors.
more professional! I think it’s a great redesign! the colors are nicer but still related to the old color scheme. Keep up the good work.!
Great work.
Yeap, I like it too. Some times, more space make the whole site looks professional. Great!
excellent
I really like the redesign, sometimes with colour less is more and although the CMYK theme works, having the whole page splashed in so many colours can really put people off. With content too, before the site looked like it had a lot of text because of the way it was arranged. Now people would be more inclined to read what was there as it appears less to read with the bullet points and columns.
A great redesign and a major improvement over the original design. The content is easier to read and the overall design is much cleaner and professional looking. With the new design the colours aren’t all over the place like in the old design and is nicer to look at.
Thanks for the awesome comments everyone! I’m glad that you’ve picked up on exactly I was trying to do. All of your thoughts really capture what I was going for with this redesign. Remember, I need suggestions for next week though.
Just the simple change to white b/g makes my eye go directly first to the company name, and second to the phone contact – pretty amazing what a simple change like that can do!
I don’t think my site can really qualify for a “redesign” since it is a CafePress template, but who knows, maybe! I am such a klutz with web design; have been flailing desperately in attempting to create a site using the WordPress templates, which everyone says is so easy. Not for me!
Awesome redesign, the site looks so much cleaner without the thick, dark border!!
Good job!!
