My recent designs

Hi,

please input your advice/feedback on my recent 2 designs

http://www.dilana-robichaux.com
http://www.mycocktailrecipe.com

in both site i have used Joomla as CMS

I think the robichaux design is gorgeous. Great use of color and background images. Normally I don't like things that move on the page (ie, the countdown and the scroll bar), but for a site like this, where your focus is not so much on reading anything static, it seems to work.

The cocktail page is nicely laid out and easy to navigate, which is paramount for this kind of site. I'll recommend it to my cocktail-drinking friends. Only one quibble: in my browser (firefox on a new HP laptop) the browns are a bit muddy and unpleasantly pinkish, and just kind of unappealing with the dark red. It's funny how browns can go off on you so easily--and I love them and use them whenever I can. Looking at the cocktail images, the drinks suggest more festive colors--in fact, the palette of the robichaux site used here would make me a lot thirstier!

I hope that was helpful!

Robichaux site looks goods, but need some finetuning. On the first page below the edge around her picture below got allot of bad pixels. And top menu and banner on some pages the color dont flow good in each other.

Cocktail guide looks good but dont like the name logo above. Cause the font isn't expensive looking but more cheap, while overal site got expensive look.
