Re: Bioterra

Hi there!

> http://www.gracegraphics.be/klanten/bioterra/

I like the design better than anything else I've seen on the list during the
past two or three months. Really(!), a great job!!!  The design is fairly clean
and simple but really NOT a boring experience.

I would recommend changing the tag <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
 to  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">.
It's always a good practice to use standard ISO charsets when designing for
different browsers and platforms. That windows charset can render the text
unreadable on other platforms (Linux, Mac etc).

I clicked the FR language site link and my browser tried to open the following
page: http://www.gracegraphics.be/klanten/bioterra/fr/index.htm
It gave a 404 (don't you all just love that number :)).

Check out the link

oterra%2Fnl%2Findex.htm&output=Submit for ideas on making the site work on a
greater number of platforms/browsers.

It comes up by almost every critique request but you really need to specify ALT
text for *every* image. When the image only serves a design or positioning
purpose then specify the alt tag as empty (ALT=""). This really makes it a
better experience for visually limited people.

You really should specify a target for the links in the head frame -- otherwise
the links open there, in the top frame.

> And sorry for the language... ;)

We'll survive it :)  After all it's the design, HTML and CSS we're mainly
looking at here and we can all understand those...


Good luck!

Yours,
Lauri
