Re: Please Critique a New Site

Hi,

Site critiqued: http://www.erols.com/amyann/g2project/index.html.
Viewed with a P133, 28.8, 640 x 480, MSIE 4.0

My first impression is that the title graphic,
http://www.erols.com/amyann/g2project/title.gif
though nicely designed, is a little too large (pixels). But the file size is
great! Also, your text is suffering from the "jaggies" and is hard to read.
IMO it needs to be redone, only this time anti-alias the text and make the
overall pixel size smaller.

Why are you using 800 pixels for table row width? It creates a nasty
horizontal scroll bar for those of us at 640 screen res. IMO, go for either
100% or 600 pixels max.

Although I like the use of background table cell color, in this instance it
looks like a Java Applet waiting to load. IMO, it'd be a good idea to choose
another color.

Text links in addition to graphic links are always a good idea.

Where is the company contact information? What if a visitor prints out a
page and forgets to bookmark your site? Will they find you again? Don't take
the chance. Include full company contact info on every page.

I see you used <FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica">. Good job. Mac people will
appreciate that.

How about an image of Christine? This is just a personal preference, but IMO
it makes a better impact for a resume.

I like your typesetting. Good use of fonts, bold, italic and bullets. Great
job there.

On your contact page;
http://www.erols.com/amyann/g2project/contact.html
experience has taught me that a forms based contact page will get you a
better response than just a mailto: link. Your client will get a better
return on her/his website investment if you do this.

That's my $0.02
