Review a website
-
I wanted some *frank* opinions about this website I am doing now from the professional web devlopment guys here. http://www.micrologicnet.com[^] Thomas
Here's my review. - First of all let someone make a stylish flash for you. The black hole stairs at me. - Center the everything. - Look at your css in IE and Firefox. (thin solid border is different from 1px solid border). - Give some padding on your tekst cells. So the text is better to read. This is my opinion. Do with it what you want.

The borders on those logos down the bottom - is that a design feature? Also, on a widescreen monitor, its all to the left, why not center it - does not need to fill the page.

The borders are not a feature. Infact, the border must be the line that comes up because there is a link on them. I did some stylesheet stuff to remove those lines. What browser do you use? I don't have any showing on Firefox. I am on Linux, cannot use IE yet. I guess I will have to check all this on IE. Centering is a good idea, now that I think about it. Thank you for the response.

Kill the pink, it has no place on a page like that. Padding would be nice and to be honest it lacks the wow factor. It is, however, a nice site. (You asked me to be frank)

Set your minimum font size to 18* in Firefox and you'll find some overlaps. *- may sound extreme but your font is only 2mm high on my 21" monitor at standard font settings.

Yes. I want real frank opinions; not the ones trying to mask true opinions, and be politically correct. They have no use. :) Thank you for the reply. Padding has come up once before. I have to rectify that problem. Pink, it was just an experiment; and after your comment, I also think that it does not go with the formal nature of the website. Thomas

I will check that out. The few replies I have got until now has been very good. Your post pointed me to a valid reason why some people would need a higher font size. Thank you very much. Thomas

Using tables is probably not the best idea. Normally, you would want to use CSS to layout the page. Your fonts don't seem to scale up - use relative sized fonts. Test your layout against a variety of browser font sizes/combinations.

So it should have been div tags instead of the table?

yeah drop the pink :) Also maybe center the site in the browser rather than left align. Finally maybe find some other way of telling the user the images at the bottom are links. Maybe its just me but the blue border doesn't quite fit. Though some or all of this might be wrong as design has never been my strong point ;)

Correct. If you want a good idea of how it should work, take a look at the site http://www.alistapart.com/[^]. They have plenty of tutorials/samples on how to achieve different types of layouts. Changing from tables also gives screen readers a chance with your page, and is generally a bit more Search Engine friendly.

Actually, this article should suit you very nicely. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlayouts[^]

Do you really need the validator button? :~ I mean, why would a potential customer care about your website having valid HTML/CSS? Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-validation, but it somehow seems out of place on a website like that.

I put it there initially to check validity without having to go the validator site. You are right, though I will remove it.

In your stylesheet, do you can add:
:link img { border: none; } :visited img { border: none; }It fix any problem with border images :) Why do you use "Validome" and not the validator.w3.org?

Its awfully busy, especially the products page. Too much text with not enough spacing between sections makes me not want to read it.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will do something about it. Thomas

The blue border was not intentional; but since I was using Linux while developing the site, I had not yet checked on IE. The style that worked on Firefox does not work on IE. I will soon test on IE and fix the problem. Thomas
