steviewdr Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 At my resolution - 1280x1024 the right side looks very empty. The whitespace in the top div also conflicts with the large whitespace on the right - at my screen resolution.The main website itself is nice - the logos make it. The quote area is very nice.Overall - it is nice. Just not sure whether it would be better with the content in the middle, or the header and footer divs at a set width (not 100%).Rgds,Steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8268-it-consulting-company/#findComment-30186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can do something about it, but the text in the header I don't think will look right with a colored background. As for the icons, I found them with a google search, can't see I didn't break any copyright infringements though. *looks for copy police* Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8268-it-consulting-company/#findComment-30201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I only have one minor gripe, and maybe I'm the only one that thinks this: The nav is almost "childish" big. I know a lot of people think that tiny = professional but I don't totally agree with that. However, this kinda takes it to the other extreme. I'd knock it down just a hair in the nav. Otherwise, it's pretty solid. I don't know how I feel about the footer links sitting above that bottom bar either... it's just ... different.

jcombs_31 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Ok, I decreased the size of the top white section and menu bar and font slightly, does it look any better?

There are pretty light but made it not completely white. I may see how it looks centered. Thanks for all the feedback. I'll post again when I make any more changes.

steviewdr Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 The top graphic is broken in IE.The top graphic on the Services page jumps to the left when coming from other pages.It doesnt look bad - center aligned. Perhaps if you put a 1px left and right border and something in the background like with your main www.multimedia-technologies.com might look nice.I have to say that I cant really see the light grey horizontal bars.Rgds,Steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8268-it-consulting-company/#findComment-30583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 I looked on another monitor and couldn't see the bars either, so I darkened them a little. Also, tell me if you still have a broken image, I have IE 7 installed and it looks fine, but I did correct a possible reason for it. I've also added a contact page. I don't want to add any lines down the side of the content section.

Do you see any difference, that page should not be cached but the CSS file and images probably are. Your proxy seems to not be workign correctly though. I've seen the same problem bofore at another job. I have a proxy set up on my home server, but you have to tunnel into it through SSH to have it work.
