WIP design for work

Not finished.. and nothing special. I never have more than an hour or two to get an entire concept done at work. Shitsux
Re-doing the nav (any suggestions?). It's challenging because they gave me such idiotic navigation items. I hate clients, they suck. They also wanted the contact info in the header. >>
Removing the noise from the background, increasing the blur. Going for a frosted glass sortof effect

Text and content is not final, obviously (notice the istock photo, and I came up with that text off the top of my head >.> so ignore that (including all grammatical errors)).



I realize it is a bit of a cliched look, but they wanted to use grassy hills and blue skies, as it matches their logo...

Any suggestions? I'm sort of stuck as far as what to do for the nav. Creativity escapes me.


HEY! FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE WEB DESIGN CONTEST:

This is how you properly mock-up content. I used a WEB FONT with no SMOOTHING OPTIONS. This is EXACTLY how the content will look when it is coded, and frankly, anything else would look silly. I invite you to do the same. I do NOT care that you do not plan to code it. If you are going to get anything out of this contest, and learn skills, I advise you to act as if you were. I advise the judges or voters to take this to mind.

 

is naise
i don't like the colour though,
and, the black standard text looks weird without a glossy background, idk

 

It's nice

Clean and simply, easy on the eyes, nice work ^_^

Easy navigation aswell, makes it simply for the "older generation" to be able to get around the site.
