From where I'm sitting (IE6 - WinXP - 1024x768), it extends beyond the gray area. My first instinct was that it was draggable, since the placement seems rather arbitrary. Then I found out that it wasn't draggable, and I have to admit the positioning irks me somewhat. It breaks up the harmony of the page. Perhaps that was your intention, but I find it slightly uncomfortable to look at. Yes, I am strange--I have emotional reactions to web site designs. The content area has also gotten smaller. You got all this space to work with, and the content area is this tiny little box. The gray area beneath the title graphic and menu is rather narrow, and it is not centered either, so that throws me off a bit, too. I like the menu better centered, I must admit. The only thing I'm not sure about is the "a menu to use" text. Is that really necessary? It is obviously a menu, and the only reason I can imagine for having a title would be to maintain some sort of continuity. Why not just eliminate the light gray box and move the menu links up into the blue box? That blue box is the only thing constant among the three elements (menu/content/polls), so I don't think it would be too jarring to get rid of the light gray box. I think it would tighten things up a bit. Overall, I'm not really sure where you're going with this design. Like I said, it is a bit jarring visually, mainly because of the non-centeredness of it all, and the poll box sticking out to the right like that. This is a very personal reaction, though. I see you've incorporated more CSS into your design, and it has a more integrated feel now. The menu looks good, and it's now semantically correct. :-) I'm assuming that you'll move your styles to a separate document when you are finished with the development, and you are just leaving them in now to make it easier on us reviewers. I appreciate that. A few suggestions that may or may not be applicable at this stage, but that you might want to consider as you develop. So far I think you're doing a good job semantically--make sure you keep that up and don't fall victim to too many divs. Also, you are obviously fond of i-frames, which is a personal choice, but you might want to consider what you can do without i-frames. The way it looks now, the i-frames are boxing you in, and I am getting more of an impression of disconnected elements than a coherent design. Just something to think about. Loading...
