G'day Guys,

I've just started a new website for my work and was wondering if a couple of people could test the interface.

For the moment I haven't gone with Flash or CSS but I do believe if you have broadband it should work just fine. I am most worried that it might chug.

I've gone for a clean uncluttered look.

Only the documentary section is complete at the moment.

Any constructive comments appreciated.

Thanks.

And yea, the webpage is

Also - I've not made a home bar but used the top banner as a home bar - I wonder if it works atm as there are not markings on it to say it is a home bar...

Nice Looking site. It loaded up pretty quickly for me. If you do decide to redesign use CSS, its reasonably easy to learn and is alot more modern. The home link in the banner is OK, but you might want to have a text link there too as some people may get confused.
Nice Site!

Nice clean design, I like it... the only things I would say;

The writing isn't actual text, its an image, and as such will not be searchable by search engines.

The banner at the top seems to be positioned a couple of pixels different between your front page and the other pages.

nice, simple layout, some nice work in there too, but theres some coding issues.

For people with a big monitor, THIS (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v721/viperx27/notcentered.jpg) is what we see. Theres also an issue in the galleries that when you click on a gallery, the whole thumbnail set moves to the center then to the left again, not he end of the world, but it would better if it were stationary.

Thanks coreypolis -hmm, it is centered in HTML, I don't know what is happening there.

I am thinking of keeping the look but integrating it into CSS. but as I can't be bothered doing that, I'll do the graphics and links and get a mate to do the rest.

That way things will go where they belong on all monitors.

I really want to keep my sight uncluttered and focus on the photos only.

Thanks for the comments Auhjuhfoop.

Looks good to me. Nice, clean site that loads fast. I don't know where the server resides but I'm in the states and its quit zippy :)

I have a 20" monitor running a 1600x1200 resolution and it lays out fine.

Excellent. Yea, prolly is in US. I'm with Tera-byte.

I'd rather go for fast and clean than something that takes a while to load before hand. I personally don't like waiting too long.
