The Design

Web Design Workshop #29

This is a corporate WordPress theme, best suited for an online business which sells a subscription based service. I’m mostly looking for feedback regarding usability and I’m really interested in people’s opinion on the overall structure and the way the information is presented. And, of course, feedback on the overall design :D Adi Purdila

Other Layouts:

Looking for constructive criticism on your own work? Submit it for a workshop – most but not all submissions are published. Be patient though, there could be a queue..

    Love the Design looks really good!!!

  • Roy Condrey

    I like it a lot. Nice use of white space. Like the way the sections are broken out.

  • BounasserAbdelwahab

    really nice design and waiting the wordpress version ;)

    Beautiful design, I prefer the social icons at top, but is just a little detail.

  • Jonas

    Good job, its looks incredibly clean and charming. My point is the overall design of the dropdown menu. Maybe you could use only a one level navigation, which switches iOS like to the next deeper level. And a little less thicker border around it i guess would be nicer.

    Beautiful design. Like the combination of colours and nice use of whitespace!

  • Hein Zaw Htet

    Project link was wrong.

  • Web Design Chandigarh

    Sooo clean and readable… love it. How long did it took you to design all of those pages?

    • Adi Purdila

      Well, I designed the first page back in October last year and did the rest of the pages from December till now, working in small sessions. I still have a few pages to do tho.

      P.S. You should check out Tuts+ Premium soon, I made a web design course for a landing based on this design :)

  • Adi Purdila

    Thank you everyone for your feedback so far, I’m glad the theme is well received :)

  • Muhammad Raza Ali Khan

    Awesome Design. How do you manage to design extremely clean looking PSDs? Please do a screencast on designing these kinda layouts in Photoshop

    • Adi Purdila

      Thanks :) I think the use of a baseline grid influences the design a lot, that’s why it’s so clean. I also like to have a lot of whitespace.

      As for the screencast, I’ll try, maybe I can make a short one on the subject :)

  • Richard

    Beautiful!

    Great design! Do you plan on making this psd available to buy or making a tutorial out of it?

    • Adi Purdila

      I’ll put it up for sale next week and follow after that with WP theme :)

  • Chuck

    So, so nice! I really love it

  • Cristopher

    Hi, I’m new here, Sorry for being ignorant but how can i send my design to be publish for review here?? just like this one..

  • http://www.facebook.com/jim.true Jim True

    Really gorgeous! I especially like the clean and elegant typography and the great choices you made in subtle ways with the numbered lists and the block quotes. I always love seeing the actual quote marks in block quotes. Nice design!

  • TJ

    You did a great job. Its ascetically pleasing and seems simple to understand. I would like to buy the wordpress theme when you start selling it.

    Great design. I loved it.

  • Andreas Remdt

    One of the most beautiful designs I’ve ever seen. So clean and elegant. What font are you using for this?

    • Adi Purdila

      Thank you :) Fonts used: Cabin (sans) and Gentium Basic for the serif one.

  • Juan

    Great design. It’s cool to see a new type of theme that includes a login and registration form. There aren’t many themes that have that included and is a good addition.

  • Alex Wright

    This is pretty awesome looking, Adi. A few notes:

    The “Get Started For Free” button is a bit over-powering. It draws more attention than the logo! I would either reduce the height, or perhaps the border; I don’t think that’s needed. Same with “Create Account” button. Right now, the drop shadow makes it look a little blurry. If you remove the drop shadow and give it a darker border than the background, it will keep it clean and make it sharp.

    Everything else is fantastic- great work!

    • Adi Purdila

      Thanks Alex, that’s really good advice. And you’re right, if I take out the shadow on that gray button it looks much better :D

      Cheers!

  • Sam toms

    I think your colour choice on the plans and pricing is a bit odd, green, blue and black. Not very premium.

    Dude I love white space but I think there is just a bit too much around the slider maybe do something different with the caption. Also the footer is too big it needs to be dramaticly reduced, it’s too close to the size of the last cta. Perhaps either the footer or the last cta could have the sweet black background.

    Sweet theme though.

    • Adi Purdila

      Thanks for your input Sam :)
