Some of you may remember the god-awful redesign I was touting over in this post for a Chinese restaurant website.

Well, I redid the site using the same xhtml from the redesign, but using different CSS so as to make it similar to the first site. I made a few tweaks here and there as well.

Here's a link to the newest redesign version:

About this company. It's a small family-owned business. The clientele ranges very widely from the homeless and the poor to the Hispanic/Black middle class to the white/Hispanic high class. The decor of the restaurant itself is varied and has no particular style to it.

Y'know, looking at the website, the colors actually do match something in the restaurant - the chairs. And that's it.

So with that said...

1. Is it too plain?


2. Should I change the header image? I think it's fine, but if it seems too simple I may just do a blend of photographs of the restaurant and its food.


3. Should I style the navigation menu? Change the bullets, do something with a:hover, or make it look as if they were graphics instead of plain text links?


4. Are the colors in the footer too dark, thus making the links illegible?
