Re: [WSG] Site critique please

Thanks, Steve
I see what you mean (1280 x 1024) but don't know how to counteract this. 
I have the image set  to  repeat-y and the  background colour set to 
white to blend in with the far right of the image.  It looks like the 
image is repeating.

Kind regards
Lyn

high resolutions (eg 1280 x 1024)

I like the design.
You're getting a couple of CSS validation errors. Also, I think you 
should be consistent in the positioning of your main menu. If you 
need the left column for sub-navigation inside the site, then use the 
horizontal style on the home page as well.

Hi Lyn,

I really like the color scheme and navigation! Excellent use of white space.

My only suggestions would be to export what appears to be a backgound
image as a jpg because it's a gradient and if you look close enough you'll
notice that it's producing a banding effect (ripples), which detracts from
it's appeal. Also, the Welcome text looks amateurish, and centering the
first and last paragraphs under the Welcome text looks awkward.

Nice Job!

Respectfully yours,
Mario

This would be more proper than having all of the inline styles and br tags. It 
also gives you the flexibility to add colors and other styles.

Lyn,

It may be worth your taking a look at the site with a reasonably high
resolution set...some of the background images don't work so well (IMO) at
high resolutions (eg 1280 x 1024)
