I agree with the others there is a disconnect between I make websites and the want one text. That needs to be brought together. That said it's really overpowering on a busy page. Maybe a bit smaller or something?

Also I hate exclamation marks that are unnecessary like on the welcome to... !
Maybe that line should be something more meaningful. I already know i'm on your home page as I have the url above... so give me something else.

Overall I like the colour choices and stuff.

It looks great. Other than a few re-sizing issues with the logo it actually looks interesting and well thought out. I'm guessing the text is filler for now until you upload a great image or video to go with it.

Hello again!

I've changed up the header and added some typographic elements to the top bar. I'd love some feedback on the typography of the "I can make your own or your company's own website."



Thanks

Your typography is very loud. Your navigation bar and the typography within it feels a bit floaty and jutted out to me; would like it to take a seat somewhere somehow. I liked your initial italic choice better. Your lowercases become quite countered against your uppercase logo. The subscribe icon and text is very large.

Your main typographic 'call to action' (I can make your own..) is very loud, and obtrusive I would argue. I feel like a better solution to this would be to have the text 'web design' somewhere, and then have "Like what you see? Contact me (link) ", or something like that, in a more subtle but not overlooked manner.

Will that call to action be at the top of every page of your site? As a first time viewer of your site at the home page, you'd already be asking me to purchase your services before even seeing any of your work. It's a bit quick to the trigger.

In general, need to work on your typography hierarchy, lower the volume, and work on getting everything to sit well on the page.

i think you should try being more subtle. let the page talk for what you do. but the logo and colors are in the right direction. good work.

Think about lining things up to a grid instead of random placement. And give it some hierarchy, what is the main point? Seems very busy.

2nd try was better than 3rd.
going back to the 2nd try:

Can't really read cyclonic, the first C is established but then the next two c's are different and unreadable.

What does 30 sep mean?

Why does the >> have a faded spot on it? looks like an accident

Subscribe box should line up under Search box

Want one is small, make it one sentence "I make websites, want one?"

Continue button doesn't line up, but what does it continue to?

I think the 3rd revision is the least best. It is just too much on the eyes. It was simple at first saying "I make Websites" and now its gotten a lot more cluttered by adding "I can make your own or your companies own WEBSITE" I'd work on the hierarchy, but I do like the color scheme and the main logo
