Hi @ilikewebdesign, the site is nice! One thing I would suggest, is if it is at all possible, to compress the images on your site, or to reduce the size of the images somehow. Right now the landing home page is 9mb in size, which is quite large and will be slower to load. The target size you should aim for is between 1-2mb for best performance (lighter page weight will result in faster load time).
Yeah, that menu was actually quite challenging to get it to work correctly… wound up having the put div blocks within the nav link blocks to get the interactions to work…
I will absolutely work on the page size! For future reference on my next projects, I think I will run all my images through tinyPNG before I even upload them.
So glad you were able to get the site up and running @ilikewebdesign I live about 5 hours from Magnolia!
I would recommend maybe defining a color palette and stick to it with your site build, I still struggle so much defining color palettes and sticking to them (it’s truly color schemes are truly an art form) so I like to use these tools to help me define mine:
There are many more if you google Color Palette Generator
Then I take those colors and add them to my color palette within Webflow. Anytime you open a color picker from the styles tab, you can add in a new color/modify your color palette:
Doing this early on in your design process helps a ton and speeds up the workflow even more :). Really helps tie all the content together/provides visual cues when certain elements are associated with specific colors Keep it up!
Thanks @Waldo for the tips! I really lean toward grayscale, and I’m not crazy about wild colors, so this will definitely help me branch out and try new color schemes!
