Dear Lauri,


thanks for these useful comments.  I was a bit lazy, so those last pages
didn't get the attention the others got, but I've included alt tags for all
the images now.  Thanks for making me do so!

I also changed to the right charset meta tag.  Must've been Frontpage and me
not checking.  Mainly me thus.

Forgot to mention, the French site isn't on yet (first make this one as it
should, then make the client hand in his translations).

I checked Bobby.  My main concern is to make sure it's displayed correctly
in all browsers.  I followed some suggestions for the visually impaired, but
I won't go as far as checking every single bit (we're already over budget on
this one).

Sorry about that target thing in the header.  Makes you wonder... No, fact
is I had been cleaning up the pages and accidentally deleted the base target
on that one.  Sorry.  Damn.

So well, I guess the final version is up now, all things should be fixed.
Hope it's a good one now.

Thanks again Lauri,


Kayjey

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
http://bobby.cast.org/bobby?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gracegraphics.be%2Fklanten%
2Fbi
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
