Clean and crisp, and I think it does its job well. In fact, just looking through the site makes me hungry for some good Italian food! There is one thing that I do not like about the site, though: the buttons. Actually, there are a number of things I don't like about the buttons... [ulist] * The text on the buttons is rather small, and though it is not exactly difficult to read, it's not easy to read either. And since the buttons represent the only form of navigation on the site, it would probably be a good idea to make them as easy to read as possible. * I'm not a big fan of the swirl effect on hover, but I don't think it's a deal-breaker either. What does bother me is that the hover effect does not seem to be consistent. I can't figure out any rhyme or reason to it, but it just doesn't work sometimes. I'm using FF 1.5 on Windows XP, if that helps. * The positioning of the buttons is not consistent. I mean this in two ways. Firstly, on the menu page the second button shifts down a bit, and on the wine page the second and third buttons shift down. Not a disaster, but not pretty. Secondly (and more importantly), buttons swap positions on different pages. That is, on the "home" page, the order of the buttons is menu, wine, press, images, contact. On the "images" page, though, the order is home, contact, menu, wine, images (and I'm assuming the last is supposed to be "press," because that's where it leads to). * Suggestion: why not call the "press" page "reviews" instead? "Press" just sound so... formal, I guess. Or like you're trying to spin something. The page contains reviews, so go the easy route and just call it "reviews." [/ulist] And a non-button-related (but still navigation-related) gripe: the image gallery. I love the images and think that they're a great touch, but the back and forward buttons jump up and down as the images change in size, meaning much moving of the mouse to get through the gallery. How about fixing the position of the navigation there so I can just keep clicking away? That might sound like a lot of griping, but I really do like that site. Clean up the navigation issues and you'll be good to go, I think. Oh, I [i]love[/i] the rotating pics on the right--very classy. Being JS-based, they don't show up with JS turned off, which is not a tragedy in and of itself, but they do leave behind their borders as little white rectangles at the edge of the page. I usually surf with JS turned off by default, and at first I wondered what those little boxes were. I think it would be nice if the borders didn't show up as well with JS turned off (you could, for example, make the border part of the images). OK, I'm done. Good work, really. I mean it. :) [img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/sigs/suho_umbrella04.gif[/img] ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/4837]Cell 270[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/5689]Sig Rotator[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/22173]the Fellowship of Sup[/url] Loading...
