nrg_alpha Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Well then sir.. let's agree to disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sKunKbad Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have a business site that has a horizontal menu, and it has really hindered the growth of the site. Especially for a high school site, I'd expect that the site could eventually become much larger than anticipated, and I'd suggest using a vertical menu. Other than that, I do really like the color choices, the layout, and the overall professional look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horizonal menu can have multiple tiers if necessary, but really there would be no need for the vertical menu. It would also require a 3 column site which I do not want.

BoltZ Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I think it looks fine where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if you want to use javascript or some CSS solution, you can have multiple tiered menus. I just know that with my customers, who are mostly older people, many of which have computer skills that are weak at best, and many of which also have impaired vision, that these kinds of menus aren't accessible enough or simple enough for them. High school kids on the other hand would probably be in a different class of user (no pun intended). The mockup does look good though. I'm curious how you will code it, and looking forward to reviewing it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Didn't I post a link already with it coded? http://multimedia-technologies.com/clientsites/coconutcreek/ It's getting close to done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hey jcomb, I'm not sure if you are aware of what the page looks like when someone simply hits the login arrow (leaving the initial username and password fields as is), but I am led to this page. Not sure if this area is still under construction or not (seems to have missing css style sheets or something). But perhaps this is already a known issue?

jcombs_31 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Just ignore that nrg_alpha, a problem with my 404 redirect on my main site. The login doesn't actually go anywhere right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sKunKbad Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Theres some accessibility issues, but if the school doesn't care, then I wouldn't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, If you disable images, much of the text on the page "disappears", because it is the same color as the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I launched the site yesterday. There is still some work to do and I still have to build some cms functionality into it, but you can see it live at http://www.coconutcreekhigh.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
