Gloworld.com Get’s a Much Needed Update
Following Glo’s not so Biiiig Dash and their incessant marketing text messages (with no option to opt out, Glo do something about this). You can imagine my utter delight when I received a message last night about “the new Glo website”. Whilst the “world-class design and functionality” excerpt from said text message seems a bit of an over statement, there just isn’t room for complacency in the web world, I have to give Glo a much deserved thumbs up.
The mark-up is clean and light, the design the same. Use of typography, grid, colours and negative space have all been given some due regard. The content is easy on the eye, not too light yet not cumbersome. The use of “green” has been brought to a less overbearing amount with a hue richer colour palette and I particularly like the illustration/art in the background which changes colour scheme along with some elements across different pages.
I have two small reservations, the main banner/hero on the home page is a bit off the rest of the 4-col grid layout and the copy needs a bit more leading. Secondly, I fail to understand the point of the duplicate main and secondary navigation, instead perhaps an a-name type content navigation, you know #sectionthis, #sectionthat, might serve better as some pages are a tad long.
All in all it is a pretty well rounded website and following our previous post on carrier websites, a second review would surely put Glo right on top.
Welldone Glo. As always I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Seun, just to clarify we didn’t design this! Hehe, I would give credit to whom credit is due but unfortunately I haven’t a clue who is behind this one!
Welldone to Glo all the same.
Having said that Seun, I notice our website http://www.inden.com.ng/ has more than inspired yours http://www.lumiere-ng.com/index.php.
I haven’t a problem with this but if you will emulate our design, at least do it with a bit more finesse. Your body copy, “thanks for stopping by”, portfolio page links/categories “Go Back Home, Web Design, Logo & Identity, Other Projects” and even your website title have more than skipped over the fine line between, inspiration and copyright infringement. It would be great if you could change the copy to something a bit more original (you should speak as you would to your clients…every designer is unique) – other than that I’m happy to see that our design inspired you
