Need feedback!

Hi, i have created my second self driven project for my portfolio, and needed feedback so that i can improve further.

it is basically a site about a NGO- Helping Hand Foundation, where people can visit and Willingly Donate Handsome amount for the needful.

Thanks Isha Srivastava

I really like the site, but as far as advice goes, I really think it depends on what you're going for in terms of user experience. Personally, I don't like to scroll down pages on sites. Maybe a minimalist approach could make things much more simple. Concise and to the point allows people to get things faster, and allows you to achieve your objective quicker and obtain higher volume. I really like it as it is already as well.

It looks great Isha! I love the color palette and layout.

From a design standpoint, I would encourage you to bring more attention to the name of the organization. You can do it by scaling down the hands and increasing weight or font size of the name.

On the same note, I think the subheadings "Who we are" and alike, are bringing too much attention – in a bad way. I feel that there's just too much contrast in color, font weight, and size. I'm sure you can integrate them better.

Lastly, I'm confused by your call to action. You can make it clearer and simpler to understand.

Cheers,

– Gus

Hi Gus Castaneda Thank you so much for your valuable feedback i will surely work on the things you pointed out its just the one thing i dint get what you said about the call to action thing please if possible can you elaborate it so that i can improve in that area too,thanks again.. :)

Hi Isha,

Very nice!

There's a couple of places I'd suggest 'improving'. The body font sizes seem too small to me. The black text on red background is hard to read. And I'd suggest changing 'WHO wants to feel like being awesome' to simply 'WHO wants to be awesome'.

Hi Cena Mayo Thanks for your valuable feedback, i will surely work on the font size and the color of the text to make it more readable,Thanks again... :)

Hi Isha,

I agree with the guys above, I feel the site is possibly a little over designed for the purpose and lacks the emphasis and clarity on the important information.

As mentioned above this can be changed quite quick by down scaling some of the images and adding higher contrast to the text to make it appear more important than the images.

I'd love to see this site with some js as you scroll to hold the users attention too..
