Although, since there are only three main topic areas for the site navigation it might be better to have the first three already expanded. The less clicks the user had to make to reach the content and the less time they have to spend looking through the menu the better. The visual style of the menu is nice, but I think a different colour for the mouseOver highlight would be good; something with a little contrast. Speaking of contrast, I think the white 1px borders around the menu's are too contrasting. Seeing as the page background is white and the menu's are a very dark blue, having lots of strong contrasting white lines makes it look quite busy. If you tone doen the lines to the point that the different menu items are still obviously sectioned off from one another but only just, it should look a lot more cohesive and a lot cleaner. The copyright statement at the bottom of the page seems out of place. The copyright text is 1px think grey text but the border on the box is 2px black. Again, evening these up a bit and having less contrast between the box's background colour and the border colour will make things look a lot cleaner. I'm also not a fan of the copyright box overlapping the menu area ? which also makes it look a little out of place. Why did you use red for the links? I only ask because I can't see where the red ties in with anything else. Back to the menu; the little + and - buttons look kinda out of place. The graident / 3d-ish look of the buttons really doesn't suit the menu. A solid filled colour would probably work better. The text in the content area could use a little more line height. Also, don't be afraid to play around with bigger margins, they look a tad cramped at the moment, but that could change once you add a little extra line height. Maybe even using a base grey text colour instead of the black on white. Overall I think it's a great job, just a little too contrasting in parts. Have a play with the border colours and background colours. Dropping the contrast on certain elements could really clean things up IMHO. For example, the grey lines seperating the columns of text on the front page; nice, low-contrast, open, clean. Although I'm not a fan of the indented first line thing, but that's probably just me. Err... My apologies if the review is kinda scattered. I'm running on 32 hours no sleep at the moment. =) [url=http://dracusis.deviantart.com/] [img]http://www.whatever.net.au/~cameron/files/images/ozone/ArtDecoSiggy.gif[/img] [/url] Loading...
