Very very nice, much better than the old one.

P.S. Your school has the same colour scheme as mine

From a self-proclaimed design expert:

1. The writing can become difficult to see on top of the images. Don't be afraid to put a black box in the top corner of the image that blends into it. This will not only make writing easier to see but can be aesthetically pleasing if done correctly.
2. Get a better resolution school logo/images all around.
3. Nice use of negative space.
4. The flash of image changes is a little quick for my liking - even if it were slowed down by a half second it would be less sudden.
5. As you have a rounded rectangle for the home page, that squared buttons can look odd if you look at them long enough. Even just extending the maroon down may look better?
6. The header should link to the home page.

This is a very good website and a MASSIVE improvement from the original. Consider what I said but I don't have much to back me up for website design - I'm more used to layout and stuff. You obviously have more expertise than me for this. Very good job on keeping it professional looking (it is a school after all) with a still pleasant feel.

Much better than the newly redone http://resources.mhs.vic.edu.au/mhs/

Yeah the new MHS one is shocking. It was paid for as well - not a student's work :/

Thanks mate!!

What do you mean by 'negative space'?

I'm actually not an info tech expert at all... the Wix system is just easy to use. :D

By the way guys, this website was actually free to do! All you need to pay for is the domain (.vic.edu.au one) and getting rid of the Wix ads if you want to.

And I did it in only 6 hours! And the MHS one does look a bit woeful... thanks guys.

Negative space is the purposeful use of empty space around objects etc. to draw attention etc.

Basically the white. It looks better than overcrowding like what was done in the MHS site.

Do you want me to fill the image so it blends with the header?

What kind of colours would you use? Because if it stays on the dark blue header, it'll be hard to see? Or maybe a light blue header? I'm not sure.. you do a few and I'll see. :D

Second website: Very good. Replicates an iPhone in some ways. But the font for Call Ben is godawful.

Keep the white background, but put a thick black border around it
