Have a look-see... - 3/12/2001 17:00:00
This is about the fourth generation of my very first attempt at a website. It is an information site for a manufacturer of industrial urethane coatings (sounds glamorous doesnt it?) so the content wont be too exciting to most of you.
I've already had some great feedback from some moderators here and would like some more...www.wassercoatings.com
Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, I'm working on a few technical sites right now and I know what you mean about the content.Couple of comments: . i got a javascript error when opening the page.
. i would take out the animation to the webmaster. a simple link that appears on every page would be better.
. if it were me I would narrow the column with your quick links. they're becoming a focal point.
. you've got multiple paragraph justifications on your about page. Either all left or all centered. Don't mix them up. I'm going to the OTC, so maybe I'll see their booth! ------------------

thanks for the feedback...The java error is from the script we used from thecounter.com, I still have to play with that one... I appreciate the suggestions! If you get a chance stop by the booth at OTC, Jennifer Keim is my partner in crime in the marketing dept and on the website, she'll be at the booth. You should say hi and tell her where you're from! Its always fun to meet people from around the way.

Oh, please get rid of the blinking text! You have a lot of keywords in your meta tags. Are they all contained in the text of the page? If not, that will be a strike against you. It would be good to have contact information on each page (not just to the webmaster, but contact with the company). You might want to read the following article:
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9612.html I don't think you've gained anything by using frames. Did you remember the no frames content? I'm also not fond of the bevel effect on pictures and the visible borders on tables, especially on a business site. It would look more professional without. I didn't see alternate text for the graphic in your top frame. Also, it would probably look better saved as a .gif rather than a .jpg. ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/smile.gif")

bobby,I currently have my default browser colour set to hot pink. You should try it and see how your site looks. You may want to set a body background color to overcome this. ------------------

Bobby, you need to set the body backgound IF you set any of the other body attributes. As long as you do not set ANY (as you have not) I wouldn't worry about it. The rule is "All or none", none is fine...------------------

Thanks everyone...We noticed the broken links yesterday. What a mess! Did anyone know that by copy & pasting a table row (like the one I used for the nav bar) from one page into the others FP changes the hyperlink structure so that it links to that page on your hard drive instead of your web? ie what would normally link to index.htm would then link to c:/mywebs/mywebsite/index.htm Obviously I have discovered this the hard way... The links have been fixed. Thanks for the feedback!

Site looks good. I aways like the text to be at least 10 on a font but 11-12 is even better. Maybe its the font type that looks like 8 which I think is to small. I didn't know anything about that company or product but I do now so that is good for your site. Best of luck, John
