Ask HN: Which design of a website should my client pick?
Hey guys, I've just built a website for one of my clients and they hired a marketing team who suggested them different design then the one i made. Can you tell me you opinion since i don't like what marketing team come up with, and would like to do some sort of poll to suggest a proper one for my client.
Here is my current design: http://www.investorwatchdog.com
And this is a design that marketing team suggested: http://bit.ly/KHwuDP
- shane_armstrong 14y agoThe original one is better, but the font for your links is extremely malformed in my Chrome for some reason. Except from that I prefer it, it is less conforming and therefore will stick in my mind for longer, I actually read some of the text on your site, which is more than I usually did. Tell your client the marketing team suggested that design so that they have a reason to be paid and that any marketing team is actually useless in most cases. Paying someone to tell you your own opinion is a bad method of outsourcing.
- usaphp 14y agoHi Shane, thank you very much for you feedback, i really appreciate it. I totally agree with you. p.s. what version of Chrome are you using?
- shane_armstrong 14y ago12.0.742.112 And you are most welcome, also, your top links "blog" anchor seems to be miss-placed.
- usaphp 14y agothanks :) Will investigate on it right now. This is how it looks for me btw: http://bit.ly/JiazUb http://bit.ly/JiazUb

This may be because your font size is forcing the containers to expand ever so slightly, try a 0.9em size compared to your general font size to see if this fixes the issue.
- usaphp 14y agofonts are probably messed up on windows :) Thank you Shane for the feedback and for the time you spent to respond. I will just use a regular font instead...Still cant change a clients opinion :) she still likes the other one more ... dont have enought responds here :(
