Website Review and Suggestions

**Conan Stevens** · 10-30-2006, 11:51 PM

Hey guys,

Would like input - positive or negative on what you think of my site. The menu navigation stuffs up sometimes on the left as I am still working on the layout there so besides that what do you think?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Looks good but some suggestions

- There seems to be some kind of an alignment problem on the top right.
- The first page is too long. Try splitting it into several pages or move entries to some kind of archive.
- Try to change the border color on the pictures. It is not really in tune with the rest of the site.

The alignment problem is in IE, I got sick of stuffing about with IE not displaying things correctly (Firefox and Opera are fine), maybe IE7 will fix it, otherwise it is on my list of things to do (Maybe I should move it up the list to be honest)

Why do you say the first page is too long? What benefit would a shorter page have (since it is mostly text it loads pretty quick)?

What colour would you suggest for the photo borders?

Thanks for your feedback

Loads a bit slow for alot of users still on dial-up. Nice design, I would make your picture borders a dark grey to match your website, your home page is a little long, but overall I like it. Job Well Done

I am using Joomla, Menalto's Gallery2 and PhpAdsNew as the main drivers for the site.

I need more content too, but it is not too bad for 3 months.

Yes, I forgot that ppl were still on dial up.

I'll make the frontpage a little shorter, loads a bit slow on my broadband to - supposedly the new version of Joomla will have 1/2 the database requests.

I might go look and see if there is anything loading that I don't really need as well and cut it - like the rss feed to my sub site
