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.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
