What do you guys think of this site im making?


Question

Hey, what's going on fellow neowinians?

Making this site at the moment http://macjuice.net/st-andrews-homestead/.

Do you guys think it looks good?

What could be improved etc? How do you like the colors etc?

Also if anyone notices some weird rendering in some form of browser, please tell me.

Thanks.

Minor thing: You should put the villa names on the page with them. It's hard to tell that the page has changed when switching between them. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to navigate back to the index page.

And does the client actually solicit bookings from harems? ;)

Ahh Thanks. Thats one of the things its missing. Ill put some more titles in.

Yea, I was thinking ill just make the heading, text in top left, a link back to the index. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I dont even know what a harem is, is that a spelling mistake, any other word similarly spelt that fits better with the context? I googled it and apparently it has something to do with Arabic women... That text was stolen from their original site, so I have no idea... :unsure:

Thanks, appreciate your reply +GreyWolfSC :)

It looks a bit big considering that there is not much content, which means I have to scroll down to see any information that doesn't fit in the screen.

This is a really minor thing, but the page seems a little off-centre (to the right) - I realise this isn't technically wrong because you have a 'photo/e-gallery' link which sticks out on the left but it would feel better to have the main page centered.

A harem is a group of slave concubines. :) Maybe horde might be less suggestive? :)

I designed it a little smaller initially to fit into (1024x768) but the client requested it to be bigger. It does still fit into my MBs' 1280x800 using Safari though.. I suppose if I got rid of some padding on the top, it could fit in FF&IE(win).

It is not bad, but the page took a while to load and in general the images are pretty big for mom and pop people who run on a dialup 56k modem.
Too slow, use compression
site took way to long to load for someone on a high speed connection.
The images are FAR too large in filesize. Visually the site is great but it is terribly optimised, which makes it look a lot less professional.

I've already re-rendered 'em to JPG, from PNG-24. Size of the homepages' combined images were 980kb, its now 200kb.

Your right. I'll fix this.

looks good and works fine in my browser!

Thanks everyone! :)

I just haven't uploaded the new images yet. But I've noticed that the 200kb set show artifacts around the box where the drop shadow it, smallest i could get them was 400kb-ish.

Have to put this site on hold for a few days something else came up.

Thanks guys. Glad you like it :)

You're average user is going to be using a 1024x768 monitor - so try to make sure the page fits without horizontal scrolling. Because your "Photo Gallery" graphic is off to the left, its causing a horizontal scroll bar at the 1024 width - definitely something you should look into correcting. (IMO the photo gallery image should only stick out 5 pixels or so).

Also, decrease the size of gray space at the top - its pushing all the content down and causing more scrolling for users - if anything, put it around 10 pixels from the top.
