So I was approached by Jobtrio.com owner Josh to improve his site’s look. In his words, turning it from a $100k site into a $1 million site with subtle design tweaks! Thought it would be helpful to some to show how I went about improving the look. It’s a great site, and usability-wise it was/is excellent.
Below is the original (click to enlarge):

Now you’ll notice it’s not bad, at all. It just needs some touches to bring it out to it’s full potential.
It’s weak points:
- White space is good, but I think here we’ve got a little too much white space.
- We could use nicer fonts for the main titles (could use sIFR/cufon if image replacement is a problem).
- The navigation shine and appearance could be improved.
- The search button here is pretty important, at the moment it’s not very engaging, so I think that should be improved.
- Better fonts all round, no need to have native text on the title elements and navigation.
By first assessing a sites current issues, it’s then very simple to go in and make the necessary improvements.
So here’s the finished product:
JobTrio-Redesign
The new site design should be up in the coming months!
