The Home page is clear and crisp and overall I like the design. There are possibilities to free up some white space as mentioned in my previous blog entry (Lightspeed Redesign Evaluation – Part 1) but it almost seems unnecessary. When comparing the different designs for the Home page, I prefer Home 1. Here’s why: [...]

Lightspeed Redesign Evaluation – Part 5: Portfolio
by Barend Potgieter on 4:25 pm in Blog, Interns, LightSpeed Portfolio
Portfolio List page On the Portfolio page, as mentioned in the blog post on Typography and Colour use, I might suggest adding a bit more whitespace between the frames, as it feels a bit cluttered. The content should comprise little write-ups of the projects or clients on display in the portfolio and highlight some of [...]
LightSpeed Redesign Evaluation – Part 4: Careers
by Barend Potgieter on 4:20 pm in Blog, Interns
Careers – Intro The action buttons are nicely done in orange, but also reside at the bottom of the page, needing the user to scroll down to see them. This might be a good thing if the intent is to only attract ardent and thorough applicants who would read the entire page and scroll down, [...]
Lightspeed Redesign Evaluation – Part 3: Features
by Barend Potgieter on 3:34 pm in Blog, Interns, LightSpeed Portfolio
Features – Intro This page is clear, but perhaps the use of a picture, cropping the first text box to the right might liven it up. Suggested Content: For the Intro paragraph in this area (Note: For the text here you want to get at the heart of your business.) Lightspeed prides itself on developing [...]

by Barend Potgieter on 3:57 pm in Blog, Interns
About – Company The use of the quote in the centre of the page is powerful. I might suggest using a different colour, size and font for the text. In example, see the following screenshot taken from Dustin Curtis’s site. He is a User Interface designer with a history in neuroscience and in his blog’s [...]

by Webmaster on 1:18 pm in Interns
I’m a Capetonian for almost 3 months now, and still don’t have a second of regret because of coming to this fascinating city. During my time here I learned a lot about the social media businesses, how to use it to put your company in the picture, and the way of view Ashley has about [...]
