Site Review !!

Hi there people !!

Hi everyone I've got this site here I would like reviewing. It is a very simple site, with little graphics because this is what the client wanted. I just want some honest opinions, possible improvements etc ??

Thanks :thumbsup:

Hi.

I'd change the colour of the menu text from blue to perhaps bold white.

I'd change the colour of the copyright text too to match. Say bold white.

I'd fix the grey cells on the left to either match the main body of the page of move the text to fit in nicely.

I'd fix the cgi script for the contact us form - Get this error, Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@universaltools.co.uk and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Besides that little lot is a good job. Fits nicely on 1024*768 screen although 800*600 will mean some scrolling, infact, quite a bit but hey!

Works fine for me though I think that you should change the color of the navigation links, they are a bit hard to see.

I mean yes when you mouseover they are fine but users I'm sure would like to see clearer where the menu is as some people may have the brightness down low on the there computer or have bad eyesight so I think changing the colors is a good idea.

But apart from that it is quite nice.:thumbsup:

Looks pretty good. Just a couple suggestions:

The black copyright text doesn't show up well on the blue background. Neither do the blue links at the top (until you mouseover them).

The left grey part doesn't go all the way to the bottom. That's ok, but it looks a little awkward that there is also a white line through your name.

Hope this helps. Looks good.

hmmmmm

Thanks guys. All the bits you pointed out like the menu colour etc where supposed to show up as white. But I was fiddling with the style sheet and forgot to change its name back.

Anyway it should show up properly now with white text etc ?? Does it ??

oops :o

The feedback form is not connected properly yet, ignore that for a minute.

Does the left hand grey border reach down to the bottom now as it should of to start with ??

Thanks :thumbsup:

Say's Yes... Spot on mate :):):):):):):):):):)

Only one thing I don't like is that the nav links increase in size when you hover over them. The rest loks good to me

Ok, thanks for the comments eveyone, keep them coming if you feel like it !! :)


I've a favour to ask now, can some people test the quotation form on the site to see if it functions properly now.

1.) Leaving fields blank or giving an invalid e-mail address should direct to an error page

2.) If all fields are present and correct, it re-directs to a success page, which shows what you entered

3.) A email should be sent to the email address you supplied (an autoresponder) if succesful

Can you please tell me if these things happened ??

Thanks :thumbsup:

there's an error with your menu rollovers that is showing Opera 6.05...
they roll on but don't roll off.

may want to consider using another method or tweeking your code.

:) nice site though.

It works a treat. I like the summary page too for correct forms.

One thing, why not have the validation on the form page. That way, when submit happens and there is an error the client does not need to go back and you can specify which fields need to be completed with either a popup box or an image or something cool like that.

Otherwise, cool..

Dauvm: Thanks for that I will have a look at my code and post back when I think I've got is sorted, so you or someone else can check it works in opera.

Tommyspone: Got your e-mail glad it works. I take it you didin't get the e-mail autoresponder because of the e-mail address you gave ??

Can you or somebody else enter your e-mail address and tell me if you get this autoresponder ??

Thanks :thumbsup:

Ok, so I have had a fiddle with the menu script to try and sort out the problem dauvm pointed out.

So can dauvm or someone else with opera 6 take a look and see if it works now ??

Thanks guys :thumbsup:

Hey wap3, still messed up in opera.

maybe instead of using rollovers you can use css.

a.menu:hover {color: #fff; text-decoration: underline; background: lightblue}

<a class="menu" href="here.html">home</a>
