Feedback on design

Hi, I would like to know your feedback about this template, I posted this before but I made a lot of modifications, please don’t view it with IE now. http://goo.gl/pWsQF

Thanks,

P.S concerning the homepage that has CU3ER slider; the images appear locally but when I upload the site they don’t appear, any idea?

Maybe is too busy. Text, titles, all need more space and margin, and also the line-eight is too small.

Typography

I definitely agree with Sara_p. You need to work on typography, especially the line-height (very evident where there are paragraph tags, footer widget, post text, etc….)

Alignment Is Off

Also, you need to align your titles better, for example: http://screencast.com/t/pOrxGYuujj

Too Busy

I would also agree strongly with Sara_p on the business… you might try lightening up the content significantly, there’s just too much content which does not help with the rule of visual hierarchy.

Too Much Contrast

Also, since this is a dark theme, you will want to tone down the white text, there’s too much contrast.

Spacing Issues

Lastly, your theme needs some work with spacing. For example, the spacing between the slider buttons need to be decreased: http://screencast.com/t/GJbJKg5n1h

Example

As an example, here is what I think the “About Us” should look like in the footer: http://screencast.com/t/UsA4DCbOpL67 There are three things that I tweaked in the screenshot:

1. Increased the line height for text to 1.7em 2. Decreased the font size to 12px 3. Toned down the text to #aaa 4. Got rid of the left padding for paragraph tag.

I hope this is helpful for you!

I made some of what you said, re-check the link

You can also add a more beautiful social icon set.

Great progress! The one thing I think needs adjustment is that the sidebar titles are too close to the edges. Other than that, It looks wonderful!
