I just have to brag, because I am so proud of my latest project at my FT job! In case you don't know, I am the Web Coordinator at a state university here in NY.... and the big project is a redesign of the site!

Jen~

Looks great! Hope your boss is pleased too!
 
Wow -- what an upgrade!! A much cleaner and simple layout!!

Kids and parents of coming to college are overwhelemd enough already. They don't need a cluttered or confusing webpage to make it worse for them. You did a nice job of making this functional and sharp looking.

I love the use of white space... negative space makes me happy.

You get an A in the yummybytes graphic design world :)

Aww thanks! That is exactly what I was aiming for... some people say it is plain, but that feedback seems to be very few, thank god...because I like clean and simple!
 
Looks great! Wonderful job:)
 
I think it's easy to clutter up a website. Then, I don't think people stay and navigate very long cuz their brain just doesn't know where to look!

Clean and simple is definately the way to go!
