Jeff Francoeur Website Layout

[Zack]

Alright, I am now the official owner of Jeff-Francoeur.com and Brian-McCann.com. As of right now, I'm not completely sure what to do with it yet. If it turns out I don't have the time or talent to make use of it as a fan club or official site, I might sell it. But if that is the case, the longer I hold on to it, the more valuable it becomes due to their rising popularity.

Heres a layout I threw together. The more I worked on it, the more I began not to like it. Its exactly how I pictured it before I started, but I see issues with navigation and a place for content. I'm going to do several different layouts, this isn't the final version, it only took me about 30 minutes to put together, I just figured I would get your opinions, tips, etc. I think if I moved the picture on the left further to the left, it would clear up any issues of there not being a place for content, but I am still not happy with this.

I plan on making this a flash-based site. With that in mind, here is what I have pictured for the buttons. Again, this is definately NOT the final copy:

Any opinions appreciated.

How are you making your layout? Photoshop? I'm guessing here. If you need help with anything you can always put the PSD in a zip file and attach it. I'd be willing to see what I could do to help, but I don't want to be the main designer or anything like that, it would be too much time commitment.

I am actually using Paint Shop Pro. Thanks for offering to help, if it ever did turn in to anything and got off and running, I would definately parter up with Braves-Nation as the community, if that was ok and worked out with you of course.

I tried to attach the PSD, but it was too big. Here is the layout updated with a little more room for content, however, I'm probably going to end up scrapping this concept anyways.

Are you keeping the background white? If not, here are some pictures of Turner Field...

Haven't decided yet. I thought about making it Braves blue with white lines and white text, or something of that nature. The next try will probably be something drastically different anyways.
