Project for work

Post by dom »

One of my duties at work is building/running/maintaining the programme information guide, a project that I started months ago.

Right now it's coded in css/xhtml (because of server constraints), but i'm trying to revamp it because supposedly we'll get our own internal server for it soon.

It's not very flashy, but it needs to be to the point as it is an information resource. Please comment on the logos and mock page.

Looks good. Exactly the style we know of you.

I don't know id i'd choose the same font - usability isues - yet the site should do fine.

Logo's perfect, not to flashy, basic, colourfull.

I thought of that. It would be on intranet so having it display wouldn't be an issue. But, I would like to use something more traditional, but I can't find anything that fits =[

If the site is gonna contain some heavy reading, i'd pick a traditional (roman) font with serifs. The current one would probably be a mix between a sans-serif font and a display one.

These are - according to usability guidelines - better used to highlight. Titles, logo's, intro's.. etc.

It's gonna look a little weird, as the current one matches your style well. But it'll be better in the long run.

That's why i'm thinking of a standard non-serif. But the issues with that is that they don't fit in right. They're either way too small or way too big. I planned on using a font similar to the logo (with serif) but it just didn't look right either.

And there is a lot of content. Just the template sections has something like 30 templates in 4 languages each (120 pages).

In that case, i'd rule non-serif of the table, and pick a fonts with serifs.

I agree with the font, it doesn't exactly seem business oriented

Used Arial

My employer wanted me to publish it. It's live now and fully coded. Just adding content. The FAQ thing, and how it opens up on when you click it, is pretty nifty.

Looks nice.

I always go with Calibri, Verdana or Arial when i've made websites. Dont really like anything else.

I think Myriad Pro will look nice on this.. That's also the main font of Apple, used on iPods and such :P. If you want to try it, give me your email and I'll send you the font.
