I've just got a new banner designed for me so i can use for promoting my services. What do you think. Any improvements you would have made?

1. Put a space in the phone number. Better still, use a landline or get yourself a cheap 0800 or 0845 deal. Or use Vonage to get a 'pretend' landline number over VOIP and reroute it to mobile.

2. The website address I personally feel is very difficult to read from the banner. Can't put my finger on why... maybe it's the font? Too many 'e's?

3. I'd get some definition placed around the letters in the main 'Ultrabeat Entertainment' - either a thin black border or some kind of emboss effect, possibly a touch of drop shadow to make it stand off the page a little better.

4. The black-background section for the phone/web is a bit clunky and doesn't fit with the multi-layered effect of the rest of the banner - can the edges be softened or possibly make it a little transparent so that you can still just see through to the background layer? It looks like an afterthought.

I completely agree with spacing the phone number.

The first five digits are the code, so you need a space after that, and I then have two sets of three digits.

In other words, I think 07984 349 610 is easier to read & therefore less likely to be written down wrongly or dialed incorrectly than 07984349610.

That's my only comment.
