Hello again and THANK YOU ALL!
I am so grateful for all the feedback, even though, I was hoping for a
"definitive solution"!:)
It seems the best solution, in all cases, is to be certain that the site is
at least readable, and functional. There are small discrepancies between
views, regardless...but I think by ensuring our clients that the text can be
read, and any and all function in place can be utilized...we've done our
job, given the many, many, variables.
I was able to take some of your feedback and incorporate it into our design.
It appears, from our viewings anyway, that the site is now readable
(function was not an issue), via all resolution types and font sizes.
If anyone would like to challenge our findings, and I would welcome the
input, you can view the test page at:
http://www.placesettings.com/test
If you find the above untrue...please let me know the specifics of "how" you
are viewing the page, and what you find to be "ill-designed". All feedback
and suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks again!
Denise Palmer
