Default Site Check - 07-17-2003 , 09:06 AM






Hi,

I have been briefed to create a clean simple site. I would appreciate your feedback. I have noticed that the top frame doesn't stretch to the length that it should when viewed on a MAC - So you can let me know how to sort it

The date should also be aligned to the right but I have made an error in my code and can easily fix that.

Also on the MAC the pixel width should be 1 but it appears as a thick border around the middle section of the site.


Thanx

WATP

And for all the products, you should consider changing the link from "#" to
"javascript:;". that way, it won't pop up to the top each time soemthign is
clicked!

Looks ok on MAC, OS9.2, IE5

One thing to consider is a 'close window'-link in your pop-up.

On your "advice" page, I would recommend labeling your submit button
"Submit" instead of just "S". (Some users may get confused on what S is.)

Also, it would be nice to see some different pictures throughout the site.
Every page uses the same two pictures.

Lastly, Netscape 7 and Mozilla 1.3 seem to be ignoring your stylesheets.
Both browser display the date at the top or your page, but the font color is
black. They also display your links at the bottom of the page using the
default blue font with underlines.

Site visually looks nice, although it was a pain having to scroll to get information that should fit on one page, baybe dreacrease the size of the greybars and increase information area.

Also noted that the site doesn't seem to be accessible to those with visual impairments.

I agree! I think you should just get rid of the frames all together. The
frames, in this situation, don't seem to be offering much of an advantage.
They do help provide a nice neat appearce of the website, but once you begin
reading the site content they prove to be more of an annoyance. There are
many problems with using frames and if you don't need them, it's best to
toss them out.

Just a side note:
In the frames source code, you have "Unfortunately, your browser doesn't
support frames." for the noframes tag. Well, some search engines will use
that for your page description. (Might not be what you want)

Great point!

For starters you may want to consider utilizing the alt attribute for most
of your images. (And instead of using alt="image", you may want to consider
a more descriptive title. For example, the Sherlocks logo's alt attribute
should say "Sherlocks" not "image".)

Hope this helps!

that's exactly what i was going to say......too much wasted space when
decreasing it a little will make the site much more user friendly -
