Hey, I was wondering if anyone could review this website I'm working on. http://www.bluenola.com/temp/ (Content isn't real, just there as fill-in.) I'm looking for any suggestions/criticisms/comments that anyone may have and tips on how content can be developed for this, so I can get with the owners of the company and we can wrap this up. Like what questions could be asked and answer them in the content. Regards, J Fontestad
* protect your email address using tools like an email obfuscator * use the css to pad out the < li > items, not * within the content div you can have #content p and set up the style for a normal paragraph which means you don't need to the .text class Personally I prefer liquid designs which use all the available space, but essentially the site looks nice.

Looks great in IE! Firefox is a different story. The only suggestion I have is to maybe add a little more color. Maybe purple or some red. You may get some ideas from here: http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html
this is why I still use tables I really like your logo, but that banner has to be a resource hog... anyway the colors are nice, and the organization is nice and clean.
the logo is too small and ... don't know ... squeezed. the site is clean and the colors are good (don't put any red or purple ... you're designing a site not a parrot). Keep it clean and optimize it for other browsers ... not only for IE. Try using more CSS.
That's what I basically did (use CSS for portability to all browsers). Don't know why it looks like that though. :\ Guess I'm going to have to download all the different browsers on my work computer and take a look at it and try to figure it out. (I'm new to CSS ) So if anyone has any suggestions on how fixing this i'd be glad to hear them. Also anyone have any suggestions on how to develop content for this site? I'm trying to get help from the owners, but they are always busy, so I was thinking of giving them a list of ideas/questions and have them elaborate them. Well thanks for the help so far. Regards, J Fontestad
That's the best thing to do! I have IE, Opera and Firefox on my PC, and everytime I do an update on my site I check it out with every browser. Nothing like seeing it with your own eyes
IE and Firefox is enough to test a site. For coding use Dreamweaver MX .... it's good and has a "Target Browser Checker".
Nothing is enough. Would you like to loose a sale because your visitor was using Opera or Netscape and couldn't see your site well?
Formatting is screwy using Macintosh/Safari as well...Not too bad though . All in all, it looks pretty good!
don't use to align your text - use padding instead (e.g. padding-left: 10px avoid using <br>'s to control distance between paragraphs - use margin instead You're using HTML and XHTML inconsistently (some tags end with /> and some don't) there's no DOCTYPE declaration J.D.
Thanks for the suggestions, will look into all of them tomorrow. Anymore suggestions/comments are welcomed.
I've been working at this for the past 2 hours and still no luck. I see the problem, but I do not know how to correct it. Using Mozilla 5.0 clients the menu container doesn't stick out the full 182px that I have it set for, therefore displacing the text more to the left than it would regularly be. Everything looks fine and dandy on Mozilla 4.0 client browsers, but for some reason not with Mozilla 5.0 . Any CSS helpers here? Could use your expertise. Regards, J Fontestad
Well I think I got it straight now. Can anyone check with different types of browsers? I already checked with FireFox and IE and it looks fine to me. URL is http://www.bluenola.com/temp/ Regards, J Fontestad
Looks like you set height for some of the layout elements. FF will set the exact height by default, so that your footer will be in the middle of the page (and it is). Either don't set height, or juggle min-height with height (IE doesn't understand min-height). J.D.
BTW, if you still didn't, download FF and Opera - these two, plus IE, are a must to have and test your site against. J.D.
Hi, Really like the site although... I would create a bit of space at the top and bottom, just 5 pixels, it makes me feel like I might be missing somthing. Also where it says blue marine security web, top right, it does not look right somehow!! I find it worth while using a CRT and TFT screen as well as different browsers to check colours, no problems here though!!
fontestad, Your site scrolls from left to the right and alot. That needs to be fixed. Other than that, I saw nothing major. Good luck
