Motel Cisne is a motel website, providing details on rooms and VIP areas:
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 Motel Cisne’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.

Wow! This turned out great. I was curious on what you would do but it looks amazing. I really enjoy seeing the end results. I’m inspired by what you do and think you are amazing for helping other site achieve perfection. I would love to see what you could do to mine but I will have to wait for my turn I guess haha. If you have some ideas on you would like to share with me about mine or some opinions that would be great. I’m currently reworking it now so I was hoping to see what you would create (if I had won last weeks). Anyways, I don’t want to ramble on so as usual excellent work and I look forward to next weeks redesign.
Thanks Mike! Feel free to resubmit your design for next week’s redesign.
This is my web page: http://escuelarapsodia.com/escuela_rapsodia/Entrada.html. Greetings
ummmm great!
Looks better after the redesign, but why uni-tone?
The redesign is good, but the first thing I notice on the redesign is the photo of the couple and it doesn’t tell me what the site is all about. It could be a site only about romance, right? It is only after I search for it, I realize this is a motel site.
May be a picture or two of the rooms in the bottom area, preferably one taken with lighting will add a new tone to the redesign as well as clearly state what the site is about.

I´m a Computer Technician, and its also my personal space to write. I think its not clear the main objective, the site is not saying “I will fix your computer”.
The re-design is very nice, i really like the colours, purple is a great choice, i agree with Tejas, the picture of the couple seems romantic, the only give away about that the site is a about a motel is the text in the logo. But i can see why you would choose a picture of a couple because the logo picture is of two swans. Good design though Tom
Good redesign. Simple and clean. I do however think that the purple may be a little too much. When I think of a Motel/Hotel I think ocean, sand, tropical trees, things of that nature . But overall in 30 mins, very well done. I would like to resubmit http://www.flagco.com/ if possible. I think it really needs it. Keep up the good work.
cheers,
Thanks a lot for the redesign. I liked it. I would just won’t do it in unicolor (monochromatic).
Thanks a lot. How can I receive the PSD?
A Motel here in Brazil is a more love focused environment. That explains the two swans and the couple in the photo.
Thanks again.

Alyson
I would like to send for appreciation and a possible redesign my other site: http://www.lamon-inc.com
