Re: Web Builders Reference Site - commercial critique requested

Really quick. Overall impression was good. the pixelated
hand thing bothered me. I kept waiting for it to finish
loading :) Just doesn't look right with the curves and
stuff.

Other complaints: The links down the left-hand side go on
forever. I don't want to scroll for two pages to get to
"Javascript". I would suggest a few ways to narrow these
while still giving access to lots of areas. First, move
the "Front page" stuff down to the bottom. Second, have
the only link to discussion be "Discussion", not one for
each section. Do we really need a difference between
Programming and Scripting? You probably won't be able to
use all these suggestions, and even they wouldn't make
this list short enough IMO.

I would move the quick search to the top of the right hand
bar, and have it be on all pages.

As far as the discussion thing goes, I think I would
actually move it out of that left-hand bar completely. Put
it into the right hand one, especially on interior pages.
So they are in "CSS", there is a discussion sidebar right
there that lets them click over to discuss CSS (and a link
to the general discuss page).

Looks like a good start, I'll check back here everyonce in
a while at least to see what new stuff you have :)
