Thank you all for your inputs on my project one roughs. I have made some changes based on your inputs. I hope you like it please let me know if you find anything wrong thank you.

Hi Marco,

Visually this website is very appealing and goes great with your product choice. Makes me want Spring to arrive. Nice layout and easy to navigate. Very nice work!

Your website turned out great! It looks very clean and professional. I really love the effect that the semi-transparent backgrounds of each section has with the image background, always letting you see flowers. : ) I also really appreciate the inclusion of a map, instead of just typing out an address and letting the viewer google it themselves.

Mechanically, the website flows very nicely, the only thing I might suggest being a "back to top" button when the user's scrolled down to the lower sections of the screen. Although, the site's short enough that it doesn't really need it. Great work, and good luck on project 2!

Hey,

I love this website! it makes me so happy because of all of the green! Great job!

ooooo Marco nice work! This website looks wonderful and I love transparent background boxes. The gold accents make the website look very professional and your nav is easy accessible to your user. I don't know what I would change... Good job!

Very Good!

Love it! It has a lot of eye candy, the color palette is very classy and really aims for a specific audience. Big fan of the fixed background image. The site is responsive. It has very nice details. Text is very legible. I think it works very well.

Not much to add really, nicely done!

Great website, the color scheme and overall design are very appealing.
I agree with kieley, would be convenient to have a "back-to-top" button.

The design is brought together well with all of the unifying gfx -the gold borders match the business logo. The website design is simple and easy to navigate, what one would expect from a commercial website. The type at the bottom of the products section would be easier to read if it was not center-aligned.

Another great scroller! You guys are really hitting home runs here.

What really gets me about this one is how lush it is. That's partially the perfectly chosen photographs and partially the perfectly chosen colors. Excellent job on both! This one probably has the best use of transparency of any of the websites I've seen in this class so far. It lets that great garden image in the background shine through. Hand in hand with that use of transparency is your use of drop shadow. It adds a depth and texture to your whole layout that really ties everything together. I also like your type selections the bold, thick serif and the thinner sans-serif type work well together. Nicely done on the smooth scrolling it too. That's a strong effect that lends the whole website weight.

Where I think it falls down a bit is the center aligned serif type under the Products and About Us sections. You have a nice, justified, sans-serif home area bodycopy so it feels a little jarring to see the opposite in sections immediately below. I think it would look much better done up like your home area text.

Great work!

Your website looks so nice! It looks pretty much finished. I like the semi-transparent green boxes around the type, it makes the type pop and I like that you can still see the background image. The gold borders look nice and professional too.
