Hi Killian,

I looked at your site at 1152x864, with NN3.04 under NT.

The pop-up window can be maximised, which spoils the effect somewhat.

It loaded very slowly - I actually thought that the links were dummies,
because it took so long for anything to happening.

The intro by Farid displays in Times New Roman, which I don't really like
- it also doesn't work with the slick, hi-tech look of the rest of the
site.

I really like the Site Navigator buttons - the horizontal lines work very
well (the "top" button didn't seem to do anything though). The LHS
navigation also looks good, but I find that the white buttons are more
prominent than the grey - I would make those the mouse-over version.

I also looked at it in IE4.0 - the font here seems to be Arial. Not sure
why that didn't show up on Netscape. IE also puts those dreadful dotted
lines around whatever you click, which doesn't look very nice - not much
you can do about that. Other than that, it seems to render identically to
NN3.

I don't like the text link colour - very garish compared to the muted
colours of the rest of the site. The pumpkinny colour you've used for some
headers would be far better. In IE the hover colour is red - not very
legible against some of the bg colours you've used.

Databaze or database? The link says databaze, the section header says
database. Also, the content frame seems to be much shorter for this
section. I assumed you must have loaded another frameset into this frame,
probably with links in the upper frame loading in the lower frame, but
there was nothing to click on. Oh. Seems I was right - something did just
load in a lower frame, but it took so long that I'd given up on it and
clicked on the next section, so I didn't really get to see it. The text in
the table seems to be in TNR, not Arial. And the links were in "default
blue", from what I saw before the next section loaded up.

HTH
