Some issues I noticed...

  • I think you should make the following items in your navigation or in drop-down navigation... donate, volunteer, meet the team.
  • The layout makes it look like a mobile website. Consider making this a responsive design with the logo floating to the left and the follow text floating to the right: "Join us to share some great fun and celebrate including diversity with LGBT people,their families and friends."
  • All of the colorful icons representing the activities should be centered and span the full size of the site. Remove the purple kite.
  • The top right, "We're on Facebook" is a bit redundant with the logo there . Instead, consider saying "Like us for updates".
  • On the contact section, I see three links, but that is not what I was expecting. I'd suggest one email address, phone number and physical address.
  • Consider moving the image slider higher on the page. Photos can pull people in and encourage them to explore more.

Looks great, nice and tidy. The only thing I would mention is it could have a little bit more of an interactive feel, I know it has a slider however it feels a little static. I feel like you might be missing some content from your client but apart from those things I have pointed out everything looks nice :)

Yeah i am still waiting on some stuff from the client, I haven't really even touched JS yet, it's on my to do list. But thanks :)

I enjoy it but must it have so much purple? Is there any way to bit more color? Different shades/hues of purple maybe on hover or visited links. The slider images aren't perfectly square, the left and right sides have more space the the top and bottom but am unsure if that was intentional.

Also, try place the google maps above the footer and making it smaller, the height seems to be big large and possible can be cut in half.

Thanks for the feed back Jonathan, I agree that the map is a bit large height wise. I will also see what I can do about the colour scheme, however I quite like the map at the bottom but that's just personal preference.

Your feedback is always appreciated.

Some very good points there Jonathan,this will be becoming responsive,not quite sure what is meant by icons the full size of the site? however the rest of the issues are great picks.

It's so difficult to critique your own work.

Thanks :)
