Preserved Topic: Horse web site (Page 1 of 1)

What about the design for this little web site? I tried to get some wood and country feeling to this.

The layout and wood looks good. Very realistic wood.

I think you should consider removing the drop shadow on the rollover menu. And what is that frame on the top supposed to be?

Good work.

the wood looks good, although i have to agree about the shadow. it is really harsh, maybe blur it less, and lower the opacity a bit...

wheres my browser button history??

oh gawd.. quarters. okok, ill skip the jokes, but im realy an arab fan.

if i was looking for a stud for my mare, i would want to see more content. do you offer boarding for mares? for how long? what if i want my mare to stay down there until the foal is born? artificial insemination? what if insemination fails?

does the stud have any awards behind his name? what about his foals? is that all the farther back his pedigree goes? or can you get farther (i believe arab bloodlines go back 4 generations on their papers, never owned a qhorse)?

got any impressive pix of him? maybe show him cutting cattle. or get a good one of his side to show his conformation. how old is he? do his foals share his disposition?

oh, and please dont tell people what browser they have to use :-(

otherwise, your images/layout look fairly strong.

uhhh, i like horses.....other than that, i can offer no critisism on the content.....

Hey, it's not my horse, and my client didn't want a whole lot of information. I don't know anything about horses anyway.

you might want your client to think about those things. i have a few arabian horse times laying around... they only show the absolute best pix of their studs and who to contact. but thats all it is, an advertisement. youve got all the space in the world now on the web. if you were to mail people who have their stallions at stud, they would give you a pamphlet of various things i asked about above.

if your client did send out similar pamphlets, it would save them money in the long run if they had that sort of thing online. they wouldnt have to print as many copies to mail.

Alright someone tape la's mouth shut <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> j/k

The layout looks pretty good rotren. I dont have a clue about horses or anything la'd said so Ill just nod and smile. The only thing I would suggest is talk to your client and add more content and then move the whole navigation thing out a little bit to the left. Its kinda close in there. For now its fine because theres mimimal content, but if anything else is going to be added it should be moved over. Im sorry but Im twice the stud that horse is.

I've just been alienated. I'm using Opera 4.01 and something has gone terribly wrong. It says, "Loading page, please wait." Then a bunch of good looking graphics flash all over the place and then disappear. All I am left with is that "Loading page, please wait..." message in the middle of the screen. But like I said, the graphics I caught a glimpse of looked good.

Oops, I didn't check with Opera... sorry. It was my first try with dynamic positioning/repositioning of layer objects based on stuff at www.htmlguru.com. I'll try to look into those problems (although I bet the horse goofs don't use Opera, ha).
