Re: [WSG] Desktop. Tablet. Mobile.
Hi Birendra To say that the site design is not good is fairly subjective and not really the point of a “standards” group anyway. Yes, on a desktop browser (firefox 4) it looks fairly ordinary but it looks effective enough on my HTC Android and on the iPhone 4. I don’t have access to a tablet so I can’t comment further. Heavy use of graphics and gradients would make the site slower to download, especially if the end user was accessing the site over a cellular network. Just my two cents.

RE: [WSG] Desktop. Tablet. Mobile.
Hi Stuart You are right on one point that heavy graphics make the site slower… but you can use a gradient to give a life in the site… and for the gradient you don’t need to use the images… this will be done by the css techniques… now as per my knowledge mobile and ipad device support the new css techniques.. My only concern is that the site doesn’t has any life… normally user like those site which had a good graphics or gradient… I hope you understand my point of the site designing. As I check the site in the iphone it’s looks ok I can’t say it’s look good are very good… something like the site will work without any error or disturbing the design… but now a days it’s not only important… user need a site with brilliant color scheme or graphics so they are attracted to surf it.

RE: [WSG] Desktop. Tablet. Mobile.
The site looks good to me. One suggestion would be to increase the contrast between the banner text and its background. The contrast ratio is currently about 1.6:1. Darkening the Mentor Hose Ramp text a bit will help make it more readable to people without 20/20 vision.

Re: [WSG] Desktop. Tablet. Mobile.
lol, for many iwe designersi, if a website without a slideshow (do you like the lightbox or fancybox or shadowbox?), a carousel (should it go with original, coda or slider sir?), a dropdown menu (do yo need mega?), an Accordion, a Tabs, gradients, drop-shadow elements (CSS or image flavor sir?), a fancy hover/toggle/click animation, a website is not a website, it's merely a document sits on a webpage. Oh do you want it HTML5? That will be 20% extra fee sir.
