Very nice looking layout Tom! I like the swooping lines and the use of texture. The overall structure of the site is very clean and intuitive. Nice work!
Cheers Eric! I was going for clean with this design, just a nice usable website that isn’t too distracting.
I think this design is terrific; looks like a tutorial worth seeing.
I recently re-designed a logo for a church and would’ve loved to get my hands on reworking their website, too. Mind you, it wouldn’t have looked as good as this!
So happy you did this one! Glad to see you really do listen to your fans
Thanks.
