Website virginity broken at last.

Hi folks, Just thought I'd post this to the collective masses here at CP. After a lot of swearing, a hell of a lot of reading, and even more late nights I've finally built my first website. I thought I'd offer it up to your scrutiny so I could get advice as how to improve on it. For some reason the normal domain name www.ozfarmguide.com stopped serving about an hour ago (I'm gonna sleep on that one cos I'm stumped) You can have a wee look at it here http://ozfarmguide.web702.discountasp.net[^] I'd like to thank everybody here on CP for all the articles i've read and questions I've had answered. You guys rock! Oh and it's written in VB and Linq to SQL :-D

I like it, well done. Just a little suggestion, you could make the website link to a farm a hyperlink, if you don't want people leaving your site just make it open in a new window.

I thought it a little slow to load, (not depressingly so, just a bit clunky). (Perhaps because it has to come all the way from Oz! :) But, yes, I Like it too.

Man, that is way better than anything I produced in my first year or so of web-dev. Nicely done.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)It's a lot better than the 307 my new company site gets too. (See post above). It was validating my company site that made me try out this one. Has anyone actually got an example of a large scale site that does validate? Google really deserve a good beating. They've only got about 3 lines of markup on their home page. How did they manage to get 63 errors!

Great layout... Speed is a little slow but that could just be the host, not your site. Just one question... are you sure this is your first site? I dont think I have seen anyones first proper site come out that good

Great job JB; especially for a "first time". It's clean, easy to use and understand. I've always been a believer in the K.I.S.S. principle. Congratulations on the loss of your web virginity. :-D

I agree that it seems to be a bit slow (I'm in USA). But overall, it is a good layout and seems to be an original idea (most important part). One thing I noticed is that your "Info Menu" appears to redownload all of the data for the menu every time you mouseover it and it doesn't always complete or sometimes it is very slow (10+ sec) to complete. Unless you plan on changing the contents of this menu very frequently, I would recommend sending it once on each enite page refresh instead of every mouseover.

Thanks, I'll have a further look at it. Something's majorly wrong with the dns pointers though. still can't get on through the normal address.
