[WSG] new site review
Hi guys! It's been quite a long time since I last contributed to this list but I've been busy making my own website. It's built on Expression Engine (my first one with this CMS) and I'd really would like to know what you guys think. http://www.raulferrer.com Things to keep in mind: the portfolio and services are there but they're not completely finished, 'cause I want to develop each service and each client more deeply. Other than that is more or less done. I'm working on the multiple languages (it's going to be in 5 languages), so it's still needs some work to do. Thanks in advance! Cheers Raul PD: I've tested it with FF2 FF3, IE6, 7 8, Opera 9, Safari 4 and Chrome 3. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

RE: [WSG] new site review
Looks good, Raul! I'm able to read the text without problem, on both analog and digital monitors. Don't make the text contrast any less, however, especially in the menu, as those with lesser quality monitors and poorer eyesight might have difficulty reading it. Would recommend a Home menu item, just because it's so common. I knew to click on the logo, but others may not think of that so readily. I like the contrasting blue...nice menu rollover image...readily available contact info... call to action...good...informative overview of your process...attractive graphics... good consistent layout...like the quotes and photos under the header on each page... Good job! I can tell you put a lot of thought into the styling of your site and it has paid off!

Hi Raul, On the contact page is it supposed to say ...and bring your project to live or ...and bring your project to life ? Just an observation.

RE: [WSG] new site review
A good validator for color contrast is the Contrast Analyser at http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/contrast-analyser.html - which validates against the luminosity standards set out in Guidelines 1.4.3 and 1.4.6 of the W3C's WCAG 2.0 standard.

Re: [WSG] new site review
Hi, Raul: Nice looking website. Top grey text could in fact use more contrast. I also think that it is a shame that the text in the menu was converted for such small images. There was no need for it as the font used is pretty common and you lost there a lot of usability and accessibility, as users are not able to resize it.
