haaki Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi, I had some good feedback on this site a few months ago. At that time people liked the simplicity. However, now I am afraid it is not as simple as it used to be. I am also afraid I am guilty of over-killing the site with my self-taught php and css. So my questions are: 1. Any obvious things that really needs to be improved / fixed? 2. Any critique of the category tabs? 3. Other suggestions? URL: http://www.theafricatravelblog.com Thanks!

TheFilmGod Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The bevels and the 3d are a bit overkill. It looks cool - so cool - that I waste my time looking away at the 3d effects instead of the awesome African pictures/entries!!! Otherwise, it looks very professional and I'm really digging the content. I was born in Africa so this is bringing back some memories... lol Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171375-new-tab-based-layout-critique/#findComment-903771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostprophetpunk Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I would say get rid of the 3D bevels, as it makes the website look like it was made by someone using freewebs. The markup of the website could have some serious work done on it, as I am seeing quite a few errors on the markup for each page...escpecially the 95 for the homepage. If you were to get rid of the bevels, it would look good.

haaki Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 hmm.. thanks for interesting comments.. I loved the bevels when I first put them there, but now that you say it, I have to agree it looks kind of cheap.. The markup definitely needs work. I just never have the time to do it.. One beautiful day.. But I might drop the bevels sooner.. Thanks again!

xangelo Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Just a note with thetabs, in firefox (3.5) the last link (Life) doesn't line up properly when you hover over it. And when you click on it, the tab isn't selected.

And when you click on it, the tab isn't selected. Yeah, I noticed that.. I have fixed it so the "life" tab is active when you are in that category, but it is still not lined up correctly in Safari (and some versions of Firefox i guess).. It's right in Google Chrome, IE and in my older version of Firefox.. Any ideas how to fix that?? Thanks! PS: Markup is now validated (at least for the index, improved but not valid on the rest.. still working) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/171375-new-tab-based-layout-critique/#findComment-904735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
