ericwright17 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Overall it looks great, but there are a few things that stand out to me... 1) In the header of the words "Quick Spot Search" should be centered vertically with the search box, in FireFox it appears a little below the search box. Like this: Quick Spot Search [search Box] 2) When posting my own spot, I get an error if not logged in: "You must login first, before you can access that page" Which should read: "You must login first, before you can access this page" Keep your tenses constant. 3) Also the blue used in the Top 20 is hard on the eyes, maybe use a different color?

Plan.B.Media Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Critique needed in IE 6.0, 7.0 & 8.0 FF 3.0 - 3.5 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Tested briefly in IE6, FF3.5 and Safari. No noticeable differences except for IE6 lacking PNG transparency -- why not drop IE6 support anyway though? Initial thoughts... The search bar looks quite blury in comparison to the rest of the site. The drop down under profile shouldn't have a delay (by then the user may have already clicked). Pre-load the nav hover images as there's a delay the first time round. When viewing a "spot" the address details and rating seem really compressed - the address is less-important [at first] than the name, user rating, etc. I'd make them parts more eye-catching. Also 147 characters seems awfully short to leave what could be a detailed review of a "spot" - only hurting your own SEO there. I think you could be on to a good thing, just a little basic right now. Also FYI Europe's home to some of the biggest binge drinkers in the world , so you may be loosing out restricting it to just the US! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plan.B.Media Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 MrAdam, Thank you for taking the time to critique my website. Your thoughts and comments have been noted. At this time, it only makes sense to stick to US as there is a specific demographic & age group that I am hitting. I'm currently making modifications to the site and it will get a small face lift as well where the name and rank will be showcased a lot more as that is important. Thanks, TF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
