You’ve done a good job with the site. The header animal image is a little blurred to me. Looking at the CSS for the title headers I would’ve tried a different approach to ensure when increasing text size the elements dont break. Looks like all the rounded corner titles have fixed images for the bg, so when you increase the text size it breaks. Some elements have gradients and some don’t, I think the signup button in orange could use some styling to enhance it more.
I’d prefer if the community impact box was redesigned and inserted into the image header, its lost in the right column and looks like a really important feature of this site, having it in the header would give it maximum impact and awareness.
Overall its looking good, well done!
Max, thanks for your thoughts. The header illustration is created by another artist. I thought it was blurred too. Maybe it’s the color and gradients. I’m not sure.
Regarding the tabs, what do you recommend? Do you know any good tutorial for a better approach? The sign up button is originally styled but the client preferred it flat. :S
