I'm still not completely satisfied with it, so please continue to give reviews. "The menu is nice and smoth now too, no flashing +/- buttons no more. Did you tweak or is it happenstance?" I changed from CSS background images to actual image tags. However, there's still a preloading problem on slow connections, and I can't figure out why. "The grey bar at the right on the content pages is now the new focus of my discomfort, grrrr box." I've changed that slightly, but I think it's worse now. "i don't like how the p id footer comes into the blue bar on the left, nosiree =[" Changed. "I'd still like to see those 3 content blocks on the front page have some kind of layout convention between the 3 of them, maybe headline on top, image right under, left aligned, text wrapping around the photo. Just same for all 3, or some kind of order." Done. What do you think? "a stronger contrast for the links at the top on hover would be good." Slightly changed. "A unification in borders on elements I'm thinking might be another good thing to tie stuff together, 1px black and 3px dark blue fight" Yes, that was one of the main issues which I think I've fixed now. "copyright instead of copywrite is gooder" Oops, heh =) "Looks good for now, can't wait to see this thing 'Title Goes Here Only this will be an image' gone =)" That'll probably be there for a while, mainly because my company isn't 100% sure what they want to call the site yet! Heh =) "Hey, that image in the middle column on the front page looks familar :P" I don't know what you're talking about. ;) "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 menu has been shortened since I removed all company-related info before uploading. The real thing has seven top-level menu items, and that might be changed later on. "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. ...." Well, I've changed the colors all around, and I'm not sure if it's better or worse now. Let me know what you think. One problem I'm having is making the onhover colors work with the background/border colors around the list elements. "The copyright statement at the bottom of the page seems out of place...." Changed. "Why did you use red for the links?" Inspired by a competitor's site. Now that the stock photo has changed (it will be randomly rotated in the final version, probably), the links match something. Note that it's only the "more" links which are red, other links will be blue. Do you think that's a bad idea? "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." Good idea, changed. "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." I'll play around with these ideas. "Err... My apologies if the review is kinda scattered. I'm running on 32 hours no sleep at the moment. =)" No problem =) Loading...
