Hi Jochen, Really interesting site. I've learnt what a 'fresnel' is!
A couple of things: 1. Home page <title> just says 'News' - may want to make it site specific 2. some of the <title>s don't match the link text, leafing to a bit of a disconnect between the page <title> and the link 3. the lower portions of the page really float amidst the vast sea of white. It could do with some subtle shading or boxing in behind / around the content section 4. Joomla != friendly URL's? I've been spoilt by expression engine and silverstripe which use human readable URL's out of the box :) On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 7:51 PM, Jochen Daum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > coincidentally, we were able to launch a new site for one of clients after 6 > months of development. > http://www.seleconlight.com is the new Internet home of Selecon New Zealand, > a technology leader in the field of theatre lighting that designs, > manufactures and exports lighting systems to the world.
