380k+ flash animation on the home page is just obnoxious... but following that up with 220k+ on the next page... I'm lost for words.

Re: [WSG] Review of website please
Hey Miles, Wow, i live in WA but never heard of you guys, good to see a company in WA that likes standards :) Im not so sure about the flash like others have said on this site, big size to load and not so sure about the animating bomb sparks, started to annoy me after a lil while. The rest aint that bad at all, just the flash causing a few problems in size i think. Once again good to see some places in WA on here :) -Karl - Karl Brightman - freelance web developer email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] -WEBSITE UNDER DEVELOPMENT- - Miles Burke wrote: Hi CSS gurus, :) We've just launched our new website, having had a quick CSS learning curve over the last few months, and would love opinions/feedback/criticism of it.

RE: [WSG] Review of website please
Your site has general accessibility issues, that probably need to be corrected if your firm wants to be considered 'a good corporate citizens' when providing access to web sites to people with disabilities. Running your site through a speech reader makes your site very annoying, some simple things such as providing a skip nav for your site, making your alt tags useful for people with sight disabilities would be helpful. For example, the alt of Bam Creative makers of fine websites and graphic design for the link back to your homepage is just annoying, Home would have been so much better: so much more descriptive, and so much shorter. Your navigation and graphics fall apart when viewed at anything other than the normal text size. If I turn off stylesheets, all the important stuff on your pages gets pushed to the bottom. All you see is your navigation. In firefox your graphics fall apart on secondary pages, your bomb gets split in two. In a text reader your site isn't much better. It also flunked a Bobby test and your css isn't valid.

Re: [WSG] Review of website please
The bomb animation gets me so distracted. I felt like a seizure was
being summoned. :) It was running in a circular pattern so there was
the hypnotic feel for it too.
The CSS does not validate:
URI : http://www.bam.com.au/common/bamcreative.css
Line: 83 Context : #navlist a:hover a:active
Parse Error - active;
Line: 89 Context : #navlist a:hover a:active
Parse error - Unrecognized : { color: #62BD19;
background-color: transparent;
}

Everything is game - let me know it all, no matter how bad. :) Please have a gander at http://www.bam.com.au The page looked OK once the gif-animation was stopped - it is too much of a good thing because of the contrast, and draw my attention from the rest of the page. Opera only loaded 19% of the header-thing, and that's fine on a slow connection. My IE6 doesn't load anything in my setting BTW, so it looked kind of empty up there. FF loaded all, but it took forever for such a short sequence. I hardly managed to see it run. - Something that makes better use of bandwidth would work better, I think. Pixel-defined text in IE/win is not my favorite, and overriding it didn't help too much since the layout is so easily broken. Rethinking that, and testing some more, would help a lot. Something isn't fitting in the news-container, so the black border on the right side doesn't look quite right when open. Most of those small images would be better left with an empty alt-attribute. We don't need the same message twice. Take the page to http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html , and you'll see what I mean. You have forgotten to set padding: 0; on body. Opera use that. Not that it matter much on such a small page. The page looks nice when I blow it up to 150% in Opera - and everything is standing still. That should make it fit well on a 800x600 screen, which I think it is made for. regards Georg ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
