I hope you are after honest opinions? Personally I think the background in any of the buttons is to much and will make it difficult to read for some people with disabilities.
On the front-page I think there is a lot of wasted space, the top banner has a lot of white space that could be used. The text (introduction) is half way down the bottom and requires scrolling instead of the required in your face introduction. The footer could a whole lot smaller. The colour selection for a product is better served as a dropdown instead of listing all the colours with a button next to it. You should use paging when listing the products, what if they end up having 1000 products? Hold on.... were you after comments on the XHTML or the site ? ;-)) If you come to the Web standards meeting tonight you will have a chance to strangle me, and so will a lot of other people... -----Original Message----- From: Mkear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 12 May 2004 11:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] Launched my third xhtml site!! I'm really thrilled to have launched my third xhtml site today. This one's been nearly a year in the making, and it used old table-based layout techniques at the start, and I've had to build my own chopping cart, content management system, and it's on its third go-round now even as it's opened. But I'm chuffed, that I've managed to build the site without having to compromise the CSS and xhtml. The underlying ColdFusion code is less than half the size of the first version I build nearly a year ago, since I've learned from this group as I've gone along. I'm now creating pages and applications in ColdFusion in a fraction of the time it used to take me, and I know I can make mods quickly and far more easily than I would have in the first version of this site. Now if only I can get the client to update the news page from the gobbledegook I put there in the demo version of the site. <g> I'd be interested in your thoughts, but please if you're going to play with the shopping cart, please dont actually send off your order - I don't want my client getting a heart attack with the excitement of getting a whole bunch of orders on his first day, only to find they're not real orders. The site is at http://auslegs.com.au Cheers Mike Kear AFP Webworks Windsor, NSW, Australia http://afpwebworks.com ________________________________________________ Message sent using UebiMiau 2.7.2 ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ***************************************************** Register now for the 3rd National Conference on Tourism Futures, being held in Townsville, North Queensland 4-6 August - www.tq.com.au/tfconf ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
