I'm afraid I agree completely with Bill, on almost every point. See below:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Open Vision Subject: Re: [WSG] Template Review[Final] Sorry, but I still see a mess. Maybe worse than before as far as layout is concerned. Text size, depending on how you have it set on your monitor is all over the place. Columns aren't even (as a graphic designer this is a pet peeve). And you have words underlined that aren't links. Misleading at the very least. >> Just try ctrl-+ or ctrl-a couple of times in your browser and see how badly the page behaves. Columns overlap, spill out all over the place, ugh... Spelling and punctuation is faulty too: Using javascript and AJAX behaviour is added to enhance user experience for a web applications, in compliance with web standards Better written as; Javascript and AJAX behavior (oh, we don't use the u here) is added to enhance user experience for Web aplications, in compliance with Web standards. >> While I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt on behaviour, there are problems. Like "Bushidodeep.com, Founded in 1996 offers..." should be at least "Bushidodeep.com, founded in 1996, offers..." >> But that leads to the more important point that you "offer Web Standards solutions emphasizing unique visual design" on a decidedly not that great a design... certainly it doesn't offer a "unique and stunning interface" as later proclaimed. Personally, I think this is a wasted page. As I said before, if clients want to know about these things they can ask. If not you're just putting out useless and boring information. >> This is the most important point. This is like the "skills" section on a resume - that is, completely worthless. It's a laundry list of buzz words. Do you go to a mechanic for your car because they have the latest "Hunter 9500 Spin Balancer" or "The Best Snap-On Tools", or because they "carefully follow all OSHA regulations"? No, you go there because they can service YOUR car, or perhaps they were recommended by your friend, or because they have testimonials from trustworthy sources. >> Show of hands - is there anyone on this list, or anyone working in web design, who DOESN'T work with all the listed programs? >> You need to showcase your work. Screen shots. Links to customers. Sample pages. "Stunning Interfaces". Testimonials from happy customers. What can you do for me? Don't bore me with how the sausage is made... And I still have a problem with the half ribbon. To me it looks like something is missing and it doesn't add to the look of the page. >> Agree completely. Would be different if there was another part of the ribbon at the top of the page, perhaps... Finally, what in the world does meditaion have to do with Web design? >> Again, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one (don't know why, but...) but I'm trying to understand a "validation" drop down selector. Huh? Don't mean to be rude, just trying to play the devil's advocate here. If I see these things clients will. And if you confuse them they'll go find someone else. ----- Original Message ----- From: CK <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Monday, April 30, 2007 4:09 PM Subject: [WSG] Template Review[Final] http://working.bushidodeep.com/dom_site/template_03.php Hi, Please check this for an strange behavior in IE. ______________________________________ CK ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.
