Took your comments from the other entries and tried to add some sophisticated color and a nice layout. I was kind of unclear as to what you wanted on this specific page, so all of these elements are very, very interchangable.

I think the layout works however, and the colors are ...(more)

I am unclear on the direction with the floors sorry i made the other with blocks I was thinking of a department store map. If you like the layout I am sure we can work out the floor idea.

Hello,

1) Up and down with javascript (see for examples http://demos.mootools.net/Fx.Slide) but I can use the same concept that on my others entry.

2) This is not on the details that we should see the latest blog post on the home page ?

3) I'll add the bloggers

it seems disjointed to us
the concept of the elevator/store directory is missing
the iconography is too bulky and wont appeal to a legal audience
the photo of halsbury house needs to be more prominent as it is recognisable to london based lawyers

layout is very clear and all the content is in the right place

however the use of the 'bricks' says science and technology to us rather than law

we need to use the photo of the building to maintain our brand and position it as a sophisticated brand with authority

the text copy on the page is too bulky and we want the postings to appear in this area rather than static text

the top banner seems disconnected from the rest ...(more)

described as the 'prada' website

content wise the only addition would be seeing the latest postings on each floor which we assume the block of latin on each one offers

once beyond this page the site will need color

high score due to being the best example yet of a home page that meets the brief

however the actual 'design' needs to be more sophisticated and formal than the current design

layout is pretty much bang-on

Not right for our market - not formal enough - the bubble and the yellow and black would appeal to a student audience
need something smarter and more dynamic
layout of the content is easy to understand

like the use of color to brighten the page - take guidance from the colors in the solutions lines on the logo

clear layout, easily read and user understands what to do
however still difficult to move to the other floors and understand what is on them - also how does the user realise which other bloggers are on this floor

the additional content required on the page is also missing - latest jobs, journals ...(more)

needs to have better signposting to help visitors get to the other floors - how does a visitor find their way to other floors?
the additional content on the page has not been displayed ie latest jobs, legal journals etc

possibly consider an option where the bloggers are not fixed on the page ...(more)

We like the design concept on this but the signposting is not helpful for visitors. There is no indication of what is on the other floors - where does the up and down go? What does the user find on these pages?

Also this page does not contain the latest blog postings ...(more)
