Website Review and Suggestions

**NaOH** · 02-05-2009, 07:10 PM

Hi there,

I think I've finally finished the design for my site, http://www.oxidephoto.ca.

Could you guys take a look and tell me what you think? I've checked it in Firefox (3.0 and better), Chrome, and IE (7 and 8), and it works fine in all three, though IE7 does weird things with the footer.

It's completely broken in IE6, and I don't care. I'm not pandering to people who can't figure out how to upgrade their eight (EIGHT!) year old browser.

Thanks!

looks nice with that dark/grunge style. however, i'm not a fan of scrolling content. just have it all laid out for people to see with minimal user interaction. also, i would really reconsider scratching ie6 viewers all together. they still take up a large percentage of browsers.

Not so, say my stats. I have had next to no IE6 traffic. And when you say scrolling content, do you mean the little news box in the corner?

Im not a big fan of the scrolling news box myself, otherwise its pretty nice

I think the news part should be in flash and it should move continuously rather than some one is scrolling it down.

I don't see the sense in adding a bunch of whiz-bang flash stuff for minimal gains. Is it really so hard to scroll the little news bar? I'm sure lots of people don't even care about the news. The only thing that really concerns me with it is that it's completely 100% W3C non-compliant (transparency and iframes, big no-no's with them... :P).

nice background, but change the font type.
and try to use blues that matches your site.
i'm not too fond of the scroll on the right hand side.
but again, i really like the logo and background.

Which scroll? The news scroll? Or the scrollbar for the whole page?
