WebSite Update. Constructive cirtique needed

tomdi · 19th of June 2007 (Tue)

Hi,

After a lot of very good feedback from here in this forum and from friends and family I've made an update of my website. Please have a look and let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Tom

I get just a plain white page.

tomdi · 19th of June 2007 (Tue)

that's funny. It's working for me. I asked some collegues to try it and it seems to work for them as well.

What if you click on View and the Page Source. Do you see anything?

Cheers,
Tom

Right, I've tried in a few different browsers. In FF it seems to work ok, in IE7 it has no text, and in Opera it is nothing but a plain white page.

tomdi · 19th of June 2007 (Tue)

wow, .... thanks NeoDude, I'll have a look.

Ok, it should be fixed. The css wasn't working in IW.......

NeoDude · 19th of June 2007 (Tue)

Yep, working now and looking good.

I like it Tom

. The only things I would change would be those buttons next to the menu text, eg next to Home that circle and so on. Also, how the menu gradient below the quote, it doesn't blend in with the background. I would make it the same color it stopped as as the background is, to make it more pleasing and to blend it in. If this looks bad, then just switch it back. Not sure how it would look. Another thing, a line or something to add below the banner to divide the banner and the content. Right now it seems it just blends in and goes with the pages. Most banners are divided by some "eye candy" line.

The automatic subject fill in on the Contact (e-mail) link IMPO needs to be changed.

E-Mail from website

I would probally use something like Tom DiMaggio Photography

same here. I use IE7. Window Vista.

tomdi · 21st of June 2007 (Thu)

bummer, ..... I really need to install all of the browsers.
I found out that IE7 has issues with some CSS variations. It should be solved now.

Thanks for having a look. I did minor changes with all the feedback that I've received. And I'll keep on doing some, I guess.

Cheers,
Tom

i'm a noob but i run several websites, here's my opinion. for contact us page, i'd rather make a separate page where visitors can actually see your contact info, instead of making it as direct link. it's just annoying for people who doesn't use outlook or any email client software.

cheers
