Thoughts on the minimalist Approach to Website for independent film

Minimalist.......

  1. The header needs to be clean. There are two graphics now and one looks stretched. Move the Red Black and Blonde title text underneath the menu to the header and delete the one thats there now.
  2. Ideally the header logo should match the one on the poster exactly or vice-versa.
  3. The menu text is too big.
  4. The vertical menu is redundant, remove it.
  5. Put the screenings, news and contact links in the horizontal menu.
  6. Remove the text over the social site icons.
  7. Change the twitter feeds background color to white.
  8. Remove the border around the illustration and make it slightly larger.
  9. Put the trailer above the illustration or below it and make it the same width.
  10. Remove the border around the content area, or add it to the header.

Well said. Start here and repost. I know it's a lot of work, but I totally agree (my degree is in computer graphic design and illustration).

Cheers.
 
Thank you everyone for your ideas on how to better the website. I took a lot of the advice and did an overhaul on the site. I will continue adding more features and content throughout the year. Please take a look at it and let me know if it works better. Thanks.
