Hi Paul I agree with Dave's comment about navigation, a close button and home button should be added at least to each subsite. The background picture starts repeating itself here at a resolution of 1280x960, which does not look good. The grey text looks nice but is hardly readable on high resolution display against the white background. Making the text bigger depending on the detected resolution would be nice. "Click thumbnails..." should be placed on top or on the left side to be visible without scrolling. The main page should be renamed to "index.hmtl" to be found automatically by browsers when entering your site. Contact should include a "clickable" email adress.
So far my first impressions, the website as such looks promising and if you add a better navigation it will be fine imho. Feel free to present the changes again ;-) greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: David Savage [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Sunday, April 02, 2006 3:40 PM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: Re: OT: Website Help Needed >> >> >>On 4/2/06, Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> I'm hoping to take advantage of those on the list who know much more >>> about html and web design than do I.
