Please take a look and tell me what you think. I am from the school that teaches "simple is better."

Any new ideas or criticisms will be appreciated.

Wow!

Great site! Navigation in good place, all the information you want in one place and straight to the point. I'd do one thing and that is move the "Tell someone about this site" button up next to the "view or print our brochure". Its all by itself in white space.

All in all, great site!

Hi Susan,

I just took a peek and essentially liked what I saw. Very simple, and functional... I like both of those attributes.

I looked at it in IE5 and a strange thing happens on the home page... a little bit of the main graphic overlaps onto the scroll bar at the bottom. However it clears up when I put the cursor on it.

I don't recall the size (maybe 760 pixels?) in width that usually covers most of the browsers. And there's plenty of reference here at Outfront as to sizes. The reason I say this is that on all the pages, I have to scroll not only up and down, but side to side, the latter of which is a big problem to many. The up and down scrolling usually goes with the territory of how much data you have.

But on the Home page, it would be nice if everything (mainly navigation) fit on the screen without scrolling.

Guess I rambled here a bit...I really like the overall look of the site, and things seem to work nicely. Just had a problem with what appears to be pages too big for my browser.

Lovely job otherwise.

Kindest regards

Hi.

Overall it is a nice site, simple and to the point.

However, I still haven't figured out how the mouseover water thing fits in. (?) In general, splash pages can hurt more than help. Search engines will be looking for keywords repeated in text. And some web viewers leave a site when they land on a splash page.

Your contact page is coming up blank in NN 4.7. the closing body and html tags seem to be missing....</body>...</html>

Don't forget to add alt text to your graphics.


Best wishes,
Sandy

Nice site...

I noticed when you first go to the web site that your 'Home' link in the navigation points to Home.html. This brings up a 404 error page. I believe your home page is index.html.

Also, I noticed that the header moves up and down as you jump from 'Support' page to 'About AIC' page (others do this to). You may want to ensure that your margin settings in the <body> tags are consistent on each page.

Other wise, very nice and clean in IE 4.0.

Good Luck,

SuperConductor

Maybe its me or my provider, but the home page graphic breaks apart when I scroll and it takes seconds to rebuild itself. I'm using IE 5.5.

The "Tell someone about this site" page uses white on yellow lettering- I can't see a thing! So while I'm at it, have Bobby look at it-

you could use some additions to help the impaired user.
