In thirty minutes this is a great redesign and a vast improvement to what was currently there. I think there is still some work that needs to be done on it. like you mentioned adding back in some tan elements so that the logo doesn’t look so on its own in a blue design. After the banner I feel the grid layout doesn’t really work though and rather than the 3 columns I would have added a forth to everything fits nicely in together as at the moment the spacing in my opinion doesn’t quite work. A vast improvement though and well on its way!

Your redesign is a 100% improvement. The original, I probably wouldn’t have bothered with because of all the clutter. The redesign makes everything easier to read and a much cleaner view. Great job.

I would LOVE a redesign of my site. My logo is my header and I like that, I like the content – I made the items, but the whole set-up is leaving me kind of … hmph. I need a shopping cart link at the top of the page, and haven’t figured that out yet. Any help you can give me or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I’m sure we’ll implement it. I can’t wait to see the full size and play around with the PSD. Thanks again Tom!

Thanks Eric! Yeah, my primary aim with this design was to make the whole site feel less chaotic. I totally agree about the tan colorscheme. If I’d had more time I would have trying introduce some subtle tan colored elements, as I think this could work well.

Wow, great job Tom! I love how you used the call to action buttons to limit the amount of information on the front page (which was keeping it so cluttered) and really draw visitors further into the site. The layout is very clean and modern, which is definately what I was hoping for, but really, it turned out far better than I expected! Thank you very much!

Nice job on this one Tom! Once again, a fantastic redesign. The original MS Association of Realtors Site is just so chaotic and there is so much information you don’t know where to go first.

I like how you have not only established a clear hierarchy, but have also used a grid and given the whole site a much needed facelift.

My only suggestion is that it may be nice to re-introduce the original tan colors in some way. It may not look very good to have tan colored buttons, but perhaps the faded blue in the footer area or under the masthead could be a low opacity tan color?
