Very nice! Nice colour scheme also. And Azapi sounds like a great product also. One feature I particularly like is the ability to easily resize the screen font size. As it nears dawn (about 12:30am now) and your eyesight starts fading that is a really nice touch. I tried it with FireFox 1.0 under WinXP HE SP2 and it works really well. I'm off to start writing a major e-commerce site and yours is great inspiration!

RE: [WSG] Site review plz
Title: RE: [WSG] Site review plz Dear Jacobus The site looks good to me. I also followed the link to Catics. On the about us page you have the word 'ourselfs' (ourselves!) and webstandards is two words not hyphenated either (I hate that). I haven't looked for any more. Am I too pedantic? You bet I am! If this is your business site, spell check it at least. Good clear designs and easy to read. The text sizer is useful, but the white text on the largest size clashes with the gradient background. Perhaps this could be rescaled to be slightly higher so that the text in the footer doesn't overlap the white area.

RE: [WSG] Site review plz
G'day The url: http://www.azapi.com/ Reviewing the home page only. Firefox 1.0 on Win2K, dial-up connection. The page took a long time to load. Looks like one of those if you don't have cable or ADSL we don't want your business type of sites. It does look good when it eventually finishes loading, but Truly a flexible CMS - Azapi makes publishing online content a breeze seems to be the only real content. This seems to be little more than a slow loading splash page as it tells me nothing, forcing me to go to other pages after I've waited half a minute. You have a limited time to get the visitor's attention. Put them on hold for 30 seconds (while there's nothing for them to look at) and you may have wasted an opportunity. Of course, I cannot speak for everybody (please, no me too responses on the list?) I don't have a problem with graphics per se, but use them lightly, unless you don't care about modem users.

Looks like one of those if you don't have cable or ADSL we don't want your business type of sites. I suggest converting top and bottom backgrounds to JPEG. When you specify background image, specify similar background color, too. This way modem users will have access to your white text without having to wait for images, and site will be accessible without them. -- regards, Kornel Lesiski ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
Re: [WSG] Site review plz.
Jacobus, I looked at your site using Firefox on Windows 2000 Pro. It is well put together. I find the pages a little too busy, but that is just personal taste. I went through the registration process and had the following problems: I didn't notice the I have read and understood the Terms Conditions http://www.freelancecontractors.com/member/signup.php?signupemail=freelance%40hyperbole-software.com# link until the page told me I needed to check the box beside it. You might want to change its placement or put the text in a box so the eye flows to it when reading down the page. The text in the popup window that contains the terms of use has its left margin about three inches to the left of the left edge of the window. I had to copy the text and paste it into an editor to read it. When I pressed the Register button, a dialog box kept telling me that the Web Site filed was missing or invalid. Since I had typed www.hyperbole-software.com into the field, I found it confusing, especially since the Web Site field is not a required field. I finally figured out that you expect http:// in front of the site designation. When I got to page three, the Register button is still active and since the process said it was a three step process and I had only pressed the Register button twice, I pressed it again. This time I got a message that my e-mail address was already registered. The Register button should not show up on page three. Once I finished the registration, there is no way to go back to the home page. The only way I could find to Login was to do a search and when I selected a project the site told me I was trying to access a members only page and asked me to login. you need to have a login or link to login on the home page and other pages. Also once logged in, there is no indication that I am logged in. It would be a good idea to add a line to each screen that says Welcome back user name. After I signed up, I expected my name to appear in the Newest Members section on the home page, but the same names were still listed there as before I signed up. I assume you are not generating this page out of your database so that it can automatically update this section.

Dear all, I would like to have your comments, as regards to improvements for: http://www.freelancecontractors.com If you encounter any errors/problems please give a short description of the error, the OS and browser details. Kind Regards Jacobus van Niekerk If you want people using screen readers to handle forms that have mandatory data don't use the * after the field. This is an all too common mistake, and something the accessibility community really hasn't done enough to correct. The way to make such data accessible to all is to wrap the form elements in a fieldset and give the legend a meaningful title, such as Required Fields (or whatever). But beware the bugs that fieldset can cause javascript to through on form elements. The only way to fix this is to use it and report the bugs to the developers. Good to see dl being used well.
