OK, OK - it's gone.

You don't like quiet backgrounds do you?

ok now I can say it's much much better and there is hope:)

next step is (to make the main homepage MORE organised). At the moment, it has a lot of info and the visiter is guaranteed to get lost with the colours and images used.

This is what you need to try:
- For the following images (Fill santa Free game) + Drag and drop + board game) make sure these 3 images are in a box. The box should be with a white background and keep the dark blue font to stand out on the white background.

- The main headings on the page should be left aligned to make it look more organised.
e.g Lots of Snowflake Family Fun Activities (left aligned)

- you can also add a <HR> tag between every topic on the page
- the privacy/copy right etc links ->> should ALL be at the end of the page. make sure there is a line and then place them under the line for ease of navigation. users expect to see these things. you can also make them in a white font, smaller, verdana 9.

- I would highlighy recommend for the top links with the images (snow flake patterns) + print colour <---- all these links at the top should have a white background to seperate them from all of the busy content at the top.

lets see how the page turns out after all these changes:)

can't wait!

In fact I had it a more subdue hue but my hubby kept suggesting to make it bolder - just can't win...

[snowflakegirl]

Oh brother...


work, work, work

OK. The changes all suggested are in place.

Hit me again!

And randelld
thanks for pointing out my google violations. I'd been so caught up in redesigning for ADA and XHTML compliance that I didn't give the number of ads a thought - I was just thinking about balancing them.

All is right with the adworld now - thanks!

Hi snowflakegirl

so much better:) I am really impressed. Now I can see some content on the site. spaces and white background make a huge difference to the viewers.

why not left align the text under each section? that way the site would look more organised?

by the way - this text (DISCOVER HOW PAPER SNOWFLAKES PLUS MATH SYMMETRY = SNOWFLAKE SCIENCE! ) is it supposed to be a link to dicsover something? or is this like a marketing message for the site?

thanks,
T

Hello, i really like the site.
Only sugestion, is there anyway that you could get the background to scroll with the content, it is very confusing and takes the focus away from the content.

[snowflakegirl]

Thanks for the suggestion but I had it so that it would scroll with the page at first and it was very distracting.

The background is way too busy to be moving. :-)

thanks!
