Hiya

Nice looking site - showcases your work well, very clean and gives good information.

Just a couple of comments - the 'sitemap | copyright | links' bit is not very obvious and is distorted. If you're going to use images as linkks, save them as transparent gifs.

You could put some of your rollovers in a style sheet - this just gets rid of javascript and makes the page a bit slicker. You could keep the word as a gif to keep the unique font, but make the background change colour on rollover? Not massively important though, just a personal preference!

Also, your margins are different on each page which looks a bit messy. 'About Us' and 'Quality' both have good margins - try to make the other pages fit with this.

Finally, navigation - when you click through to see details of a specific project you have worked on, it would be nice to have a 'back' button to take you back to the list you were on previously.

But as I said, nice site, nice images and very clean.

Hi Pagetta,

thanks for the feedback, what do you mean about the margins??? is this the actual size of each page, and also with the rollovers, i was pretty sure i did put them into a .js file. As for the sitemap | Copyright | links that is something i thought i might need to change, no matter how high the quality i save the images as they still come out pretty bad

again thanks for the feedback

Pagetta means that the text comes closer to edge of the text area on the home page compared to others.

I would question the point of the splash page. The text you have as images in the menus are a bit fuzzy, less or no antialias in your graphics program would improve this.

On the home page the links at the bottom in the black are barely readable.

Yes, your modest rollover effects could be neatly done in CSS with a saving of coding.

Nice corporate feeling site...

Cheers Paul,

Got the margins thing, never noticed it before, the other thing about changing my navigation links to css, is it possible to do that and still keep the same font, because im pretty sure that font can only be used as an image....
also what difference does it make, whether its css or java, is it a page load time thing??

After the flash page your site loaded funny. I got a long looking page and than all of sudden it went compact.

Why isn't your logo on all pages?

The reason the main page loaded funny is i have a java script scroller in the page which is the last thing to laod, so when you first open the page your seeing all the news stories in the scroller, but when the page is fully loaded it shrinks down to one story at a time.

As for the logo on every page, i have it on the first two entry pages, and i rekon if you dont know what web site your on at that stage, you should'nt be there anyway.

got those margins sorted out as well, pain in the ass but it does look better, didnt bother with the css nav menu.

thanks for all the help everyone, keep it coming....

Cheers

The reason you put a logo on all pages is cause not everyone will be coming into your site from the main page. If all your pages are indexed by the robots you will have enter points from any of those pages. Also it makes it uniform so that a person that goes on your site knows they are still on your site instead of thinking they are all of a sudden on a different site.

Ok good point, never even thought of that side of things.

Cheers

Yes you could use the same font, but it is rather complicated - you'd have to make a graphic for each menu item and a <div> for each menu item. CSS uses much less code, and is more SE frendly. Google iteself recomends against JS
"If fancy features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site.

Thanks to everyone who gave me new ideas for the site, I have since fixed up all the margins and changed the menu links into css instead of java, (which is actually much easier)...

If there is anything else i should know let me know, feedback and comments are always appreciated.
