0 timmmay Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Looks nice, I like the overall feel of the site. Don't have anything real constructive to add however... Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KevinTyco3 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Its perfect, how are you advertising it? I see its getting popular already :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bero 2.1 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Simple, clean, easy to navigate, perfect for my taste. :D The only thing I would maybe change, and that's a big maybe, would be the green-ish color of the links, since it can be a little too bright, but they still fit with the design anyways, so don't break your head over it. :blink: Very impressive work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TEX4S Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Love that color blue man - very easy to look at - Everything looks pretty good man, so much better than I could ever do ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nick Brunt Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Very nice indeed. You could maybe consider adding a twitter feed somewhere. If you add a semi-transparent box with nice rounded edges with your latest updates it could look very nice and provide a bit more info. Also try adding outline: none; to the styles for the links so that they dont get outlined when clicked on. But yeah, very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cupcakes Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Also try adding outline: none; to the styles for the links so that they dont get outlined when clicked on. That's really pedantic. The outline is there for accessibility purposes. I definitely recommend against using outline: none based on.. well, nothing other than no "outlines." http://www.outlinenone.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mention it because the whole design is so smooth and simple. As soon as you click a link and that annoying dotted border appears, it ruins the whole feel of the page.

O.o The purpose of the focus outline is primarily for keyboard based navigation. Tab through a site that isn't using outline: none and you'll be able to see what link you are on by the dotted outline. Removing it because it looks "annoying"? C'mon. Did you bother looking over the link I gave you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Cupcakes Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Did you bother reading my reply? Using your mouse to hover over a link is not the same as using tab to navigate. 2.4.7 Focus Visible: Any keyboard operable user interface has a mode of operation where the keyboard focus indicator is visible.

0 Nick Brunt Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Using your mouse to hover over a link is not the same as using tab to navigate. a:focus { color: #ffffff; } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cupcakes Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Glad you read the article and were able to make an example that redefines the :focus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nick Brunt Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Glad you read the article and were able to make an example that redefines the :focus! All I've suggested is that the method for showing that a link has focus would be better served by changing the colour of the text rather than creating a dotted border in this particular example. I've never said that you must use it for every single website in the world - just this one, because in my opinion, it would look better. All your chatter about loosing accessibility options is moot anyway because I'm suggesting you take away one method (the dotted border), and replace it with another (changing the colour of the text).
