Hi Paul and the list

I visited you site and have a few comments, all IMHO.

1. The background is nice, and seamless! Well done! This is one of the rare
occasions I have seen a textured background work well.

2. The (red) logo/title was a bit jagged, it needs anti-aliasing. At least a
Gaussian blur might help. Post the -graphics list for more help on this one.

3. I would put the contact info on a separate page - it saves a little
download time (important if you have a slow connection like mine), it also
means less scrolling and finally it is generally the 'done' thing.

4. The pages looked good in both 640x480 and 600x800 resolutions, though a
mac surfer might have to scroll a little.

5. I do like the picture of your premises - it is something different, in
the snow!

6. In your code, I found this:

<META name="rating" content="safe for children">

AFAIK, this isn't valid and will be ignored. What you need is a PICS label.
This is obtainable from RSAC [1] or SafeSurf [2]. It is an easy, free and
quick process getting one.

7. Your graphics were fast loading.

8. Your code looked very good...well it validated!

9. You haven't set a font for the main text, so it defaults for most users
to Times Roman, not very nice for a corporate site. I suggest verdana, a
nice sans-serif font. And for those that don't have it, put arial,helvetica
and sans-serif after it.

10. Although I didn't visit all pages, I would have liked more photographs
of your offices, people, products, etc, just to liven it up a bit.

All up a well designed, clean and uncluttered site!

Cheers

Sebastian
