redbullmarky Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 all in all i think it looks and works well. however, i think the filesize of your images is far too large, especially (although i didnt check the others, but i just watched them slowly drawing on my screen) the header (80Kb+).

redbullmarky Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 good thing about jpegs is that you don't always need max resolution/quality to get excellent results. the default is 75 in most cases (i feel you're prob right up to the max), but i generally find that i can get a good quality vs filesize ratio somewhere between 75-85, although it also varies from picture to picture.

Daniel0 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 It looks really nice. Just change the title to something shorter and do not write it in all uppercase. Make sure your css is valid: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.exit911.com%2F&usermedium=alland that your (X)HTML is valid: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.exit911.com%2F Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21455-what-do-you-think-about-my-website/#findComment-96228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Consider not fully justifying text (this sucks: "Condo alternative!").Also, the flash is waaay too 'jumpy', and the changing banner doesn't 'fade' in FF.

Then move it down 1 by 1 watching the image until you see your previewed image change. Then move it back 1 again so it regains the quality loss you just noticed.I find that sometimes I can get it down to 5-6 without any noticeable loss of quality, yet the filesize becomes much lower. :) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21455-what-do-you-think-about-my-website/#findComment-97286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yana Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks for all the tips. :)Validating my pages is going to take some time...such a hassle!!!!!! I've just validated the home page...and only a million more pages to go! :P By the way, what is the benefit of having my pages validated? In regards to Firefox, I checked and the banner does change...not the same soft gradual effect but it does change. But what is the reason for the difference between Firefox and IE? Is not all Javascript supported by Firefox??? It's so frustrating to try and please ALL browsers!!! Why can't we have just one standard???By the way, does anyone know which is the most popular browser these days in terms of %????

[/quote]less of a hassle for more people. the tools that the blind/visually impaired use are more likely to work properly if your site is valid. also, there's more chance of working across the board on more browsers (standards compliant ones, at least :) ). also, it just looks better (ie, like youve made the effort) if your site validates.to be honest, lots of errors you see when validating your page are a result of other errors. so solving one may solve 1,2, 4,10 errors - so dont be put off validating your site, as it may be corrected quicker than you think...

steviewdr Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 You should take out that javascript and put it into an exteral js file, similar to your css.Also - you shouldnt code functions in the body of a (x)html doc. It should be done between the head tags.-steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21455-what-do-you-think-about-my-website/#findComment-99483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
