Default www.hogue-school.com

I inherited the job of redesigning this site for
a real estate school in Florida.

http://www.hogue-school.com

It looks like the last designer was REALLY
smitten by Yahoo's style of design for their front
page. Yet the other pages are are a mishmash of
styles. I heard tell there was two other designers
way back from when this all started.

To me its ok for providing information, but a bit
of a mess in how its presented. Check it out
and let me know what bits and pieces can be saved
with it or should it be scrapped entirely. (I vote
for scrap myself but I may be just being a bit too
harsh)

Well anyways whatever you want to say is fine, pick
it to death, I just simply don't know where to
begin if any of it is salvagable. Again as I said
I just don't see anything design-wise worth saving.

Thanks!

agreed.

try to work out why its not working - colors? fonts? whitespace?

then avoid these mistakes when you rebuild from scratch..

I wouldnt actually call that a design. I would call it a page full of links, and the rest is well... yep, I would say a mishmash.

Scrap it. For sites like real estate, etc, I always think it is good to go with a nice crisp site design. With the exception of a couple of small graphics, use the design element of placing things in good readable format, and clear & concise navigation that is well optimized, using colours that welcome you in to read more, than scare you away. These types of sites are best read uncluttered.

Pretty much what I had imagined, its just not
what a more recent website should be like.

Thanks for confirming the mess.

This is pretty much my thoughts too. I don't
see a real area to salvage save for content and
that needs a re-write.

Thanks for the afformation.
