Topic: Redesigning Speedy Job

I am just in the process of implementing a few new things and slightly changing the design of SpeedyJob.co.uk. So far its only got the company logos, im just implementing some advertising squares and a banner on the footer of the site. Also Im just in the process of adding google maps.

I need to juggle around with the home page, as the logo's merge into the text sometimes. But hopefully will resolve today.

This site is currently about 99.9% fed by automatic xml feeds from other sites and companies :-)

A big thank you to RedJumpsuit, who has answered a few questions I have had while changing the site...

Re: Redesigning Speedy Job

I have now changed the the front page of SpeedyJob to look a little more like Indeed/TwitterJobSearch. I still have a few more things to add, maybe a couple of different statistics etc and also maybe a few ads. I just wanted a clean look to it.

What do you think??

Re: Redesigning Speedy Job

I like the simplicity of sites like Twitterjobsearch or yours. You might want spice it a bit up with rounded corners, a gradient in the grey box. You can also try to transform your slogan to regular text instead of an image. The text in the image has sharp edges and you an easily replace it in _templates/YOUR_THEME/header.tpl.

I'm missing instructions on how to get to the jobs. Your forcing the user to use the search bar (with doesn't clear it's default value on click on the homepage), but you might want to consider adding a link to the categories or all jobs. Just for those who just want to browse for interesting jobs.

Edit: and you can use this (http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/) to create your own favicon (in the url bar) and replace Jobberbase deafult.
