swiftmed Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hello fellow webmasters,I am the owner of Swift Media UK, i have recently made some changes to the design of our company website and was looking for some critique. I have got an eye for detail, but as you know, the "pickyiest" people cant pick everything to bits, so i am looking for you guys to pull the site apart, im looking for any critique, whether good or bad.[a href=\"http://www.swiftmediauk.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.swiftmediauk.co.uk[/a] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/9573-web-design-company-looking-for-critique/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Quick hit: I not sure you can really claim to be up to date with the latest techniques in web design and designers hand-picked from thousands when your pages are built using tables for layout (instead of semantically-correct CSS), you use images for navigation (instead of CSS rollovers), and your pages checked against the w3c xhtml validator (your choice of doctype) shows dozens of errors.

jeremywesselman Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Spelling error: SEARCH ENGINE [b]OPTIMIZATION[/b]I think that it looks very professional. Just like a lot of templates you see out there. It definately does not validate as Andy mentioned. I would recommend adding some kind of rollover effect to your main menu buttons. Whether it be css rollovers or javascript image swaps. People like to know where their pointer is.Jeremy Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/9573-web-design-company-looking-for-critique/#findComment-35382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiftmed Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hello Guys,thank you for your comments, both good and bad. Andy, i do agree with you and i do realise i have a lot of work to do, to be honest i am crap at css, and if anything, your post has pushed me into doing some tutorials this morning to learn what i dont know, so thank you for being so blatently honest. I realise you dont pick this sort of stuff up overnight, so i will be making the appropriate css changes to the site over time, and obviously i will repost back here to see if you have any other critique or suggestions for me.Again thanks very much for taking the time to give feedback and suggestions for my website.

It's a great design, really: I like it. However, your coding techniques are really pretty outdated. Also, were you using Dreamweaver to create that?

moberemk Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 [i]More Eric Meyer on CSS[/i] starts with an entire section dedicated to redesigning table-based layouts in CSS. There's also the Sitepoint books, those are always handy.
