Hi all, I have just published a rebuilt site with Elements, and I would really appreciate a review from people who know the tool well. Live site: [https://cycleruncode.club/](https://cycleruncode.club/) What I would love eyes on - Honest, practical suggestions welcome — design, UX, Elements patterns, CMS structure, performance, anything that looks off. - Overall first impression - Home, nav, and whether the club story lands in the first screenful. - CMS usage Blog: [The Lab Log](https://cycleruncode.club/blog/) Products: [Apps list](https://cycleruncode.club/products/) Tags / filtering on products — does this match how you would structure it in Elements? -. Contact / registration form: [Contact](https://cycleruncode.club/contact/) Success / error feedback, field naming (hyphenated names for the Form component rules), and whether SMTP is still worth it vs a webhook for cleaner delivery. - Products detail layout Any Elements-native patterns I am fighting instead of using? - Mobile Nav, home pillars, products list — anything broken or awkward on a phone. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes a look! ---

Be careful when using grey text on a light grey background. It might be difficult for some people to read it. ---

This is what it looks like on my iPhone, alignment of menu and page. I am in dark mode all the time some of the text is very difficult to read as mentioned above ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/0/707fa9ab189273a22aecce5cad46a559d1e75ed6.webp) And with the menu ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/9/e/9ee6d6e4384b177b48ab9a5e0eda80bbe437f52c.jpeg) ---

Same as above with text I am 70 and had difficulty reading colour scheme also found pictures jumping around too quick was distracting as I was trying to read something and pictures changing all the time distracted me from reading. Good job for first attempt well done! ---

Okay. First impression: a slightly different look (that’s a good thing as it distinguishes you). However, the look isn’t consistent across every page, it mostly shows on the home page and products page. The others need work to be consistent. Navigation/Story: nothing really wrong here. Promoting About above the other things is a little unusual, so maybe I’d retitle that to Story or something similar. CMS usage: you’ve got big color style issues there. On my Mac the blog titles are unreadable (white on near white). Likewise the post page has font color issues, as well. Products page: very nicely done. Shows you put attention into that page, and I like the simple-but-deep nature of the individual pages. General: your text drop shadows are really far from the text. Your design is basically fairly flat in nature other than those, so they stand out as idiosyncratic. A small drop shadow on your front page boxes would also be more design consistent if you’re going to use drop shadows on text. Didn’t look at it in mobile. ---
