Design Feedback Needed

[Zen Coaster]

I have been commissioned to improve http://www.bluefiregrill.com.au/ and http://www.bluefirecruises.com.au/. I'd like to get some feedback from you, the general public on what, in your view, would make these sites better. Thanks everyone.

http://www.bluefirecruises.com.au/ - Failed validation, 133 errors.

http://www.bluefiregrill.com.au/ - Failed validation, 178 errors.

 

Fixing the errors seems like a good place to start.

I was using Strick HTML 4.01.

 

Removing the absolute horror of table, tr & td tags in favour of CSS would also be great. The javascript can also take a hike.

 

The colors are very, ick, but I guess their logo will have you tied down to them to some extent.

 

In general I'd remove the clutter from it, they are layed out in a very slopy fashion at the moment.

 

The cruises site doesn't look terrible, it could be salvaged, the gille site looks like a bad menu designed in MS Word, kill it.

 

Whatever you decide to do, best of luck with it.

1. Restaurants and Cruises site - It looks like some kind of online store. Change the interface

 

2. Cruises Marina... - I think a Royal red and gold color scheme would look better.

Yeah, I didn't do the original sites.

 

Great input so far, keep it up guys.
