New Design

[Redboat]

Hi All,

I just wanted to get your opinions on a site I have just designed and built for one of my clients.

http://www.inclusion.me.uk

It's WC3 XHTML/CSS compliant. Note: Due to the budget you will probably notice that I have embedded Wordpress into the same design for the news section.

Thanks for your opinions.

I really like it, love the colours. Only thing.....

the bottom beneath the coloured bars looks really cluttered for some reason.

Apart from that I likes.

I think I know what you mean.

Is it the links at the bottom or both the Images and links.

I suppose I could seperate these more. (Subject to the clients approval of course

Looks good, I like the colors.

The only thing im gonna comment on is your navigation sitting at the top seems a bit out of place. I feel like it should be below what appears to be your logo / header graphic.

And maybe bringing the point size down on your navigation links, or trying some different arrangement, feels jumbled to me.

thats just my 2cents.

It's the links, how do they look at a small point size and maybe not on as many lines??

I could probabaly get away with reducing the bottom navigation as the user can still set the browser to large, e.t.c to overcome it being smaller.

I'll give it a go for - It would require client approval to become live though so if I do post the alternative it would be on my server.

the top nav is a little on the large side but love the colours, client choice or yours??

Loving the colours and the overall look.... curious why you havent made the top navigation scalable text wise... when you have everything else... also you need to sort out the links... "click here to read more" its failing you accessibility wise... and also create an active element for the menu so you know where you are.... so many colours it gets a little confusing... but other than that looks good... liking it :-)

Thanks for the feedback:

Top Navigation - Is there a way to scale graphical CSS Navigation? Never done that so your insight would be much appreciated. I know the best option would be to use text links. This sort is of the reason for the top navgation being larger to the eye.

Active element - I thought I had set this up correctly so I am working on this one. The CSS Active code does not seem to work - I have it all in the right order but I think I have missed something or I am stupid :)

What do think the "click here to read more" should read to be more accessible. I also know that having the same link phrase also inhibits accessibility so I have now got rid of the "Click here to read more" and just have the title of the post as the link. This should overcome this problem?

Cheers

Paul

That's a lot of internal linking from one page
