    I am working on a new web design for a restaurant in San Antonio, Texas. I have been working on a mockup for over a week. I think it looks good now, but I want it to look GREAT! What are your tips?

    Thanks for commenting on my designs every timebakie,

    It looks great already! love it.

    suggestion- the image on the left may look better if it is top aligned.

    I agree with Roshan about the image.

    What color is the content font? I wonder how it would look with in white. For me, it is a little hard to read. I can't tell what color it is from the image.

    Overall, it is an excellent design. Your client will be thrilled.

    As in the picture of the pasta moved all the way up. And it might also look good if you have other pictures like of a tomato and other food

    I agree with making the content font a little lighter. I also had trouble reading it. Great design.

    Very nice design, by the way. Just saying it before I start nitpicking.

    The address on the header - the drop shadow makes it a little too hard to read
    I agree with the other guys - the text should be a little bit whiter. try #efefef if you are not ready to go with a full-blown white.

    Apart from that, If I lived over in America, I would go to that restaurant right now!

    Eeek, the forums are getting hard to keep up with, with so much great stuff coming through. I like the design, but I find the text in the upper-right hard to read. I am not fond of the treatment of that image (perhaps 3 would look better, perhaps change the styling, definitely move it up top).

    I love your design, very warm cosy Italian, you have captured the spirit and the concept is very inviting.
    Same comment as the others, the navigation is a little hard to read, your content text is larger than your navigation so it makes the navigation disappear into the background.
    I would also suggest you center the whole site into the middle of the browser and use a different background other than white.
    Otherwise A+
