WebKing re-design

Overall, I am very happy with the way my re-design turned out. The original website was horrible with far too much scrolling and flash-animation. I am really happy with how the logo for the site turned out. It is very simple and easy to read, but the font, Dalliance, gives the 'W' and the 'K' a unique look. I think that all the information is easy to find because it is actually organized.
I like that my design only used purple and gold with black and white. But it also made it hard to create some of the hierarchy because the black and purple were so similar, and the yellow did not work on the white. I don't really like the portfolio page because I had to showcase the WebKing's designs. I tried to find the best designs, but even the ones I chose are still not designed well. 
I think it might have been nice to learn how to code the pricing page so that people could actually pay. But since it is not an actual website that might be bad.

I really like your design. Very minimalistic :) I think you chose a really nice image for the Crown. Its very organized. Our sites are very similar regarding the minimalism. Although I think you could have done away with the white content box, I didn't use a filled content box in mine. I personally think that the white content box doesn't really pull the site together. That's really the only thing I would change.

I also really enjoy the color scheme because I used a maroon and gold and its interesting to see other royal colors being used. I think most people would expect to see red and gold together but some people also see purple and gold as royal colors. Nice.

Presentation: Love love LOVE the intro page. Beautiful logo that draws you right to the page, nice rich royal purple. On the interior pages, I'm not sure about the white text container. It is a little jarring and breaks a bit from the overall look. Possibly a more off-white color?

Usability: The navigation is very clear. The menu bar is nice and prominent. The only thing is there is no footer, but on this site, I don't think it is necessary.

Organization: Clear organization. Great job!
