Comments on Mockup please - 8/21/2001 20:48:00

Few to none of the hotspots and links work, this is just a one-page tester to make sure I'm getting what I'm seeing in Photoshop.

I'd love feedback on anything at all, but am especially concerned about:

- is it still too wide? All page elements are set at 760 pixels wide; looked nice and small on my PC, even at 800 X 600, but then I checked it out on someone else's, and it looked huge w/ all their MS bars and IE crap. Should I try for even smaller?

- Does anyone have a Mac and a PC they can use IE and netscape on to see how this pans out over platforms? I can only check w/ IE and Navigator 4+ on Windows.

Any and all comments VERY much appreciated. I'd like to make this kind of a lasting design this time.

Thanks all.

The Bot Collector

Hi Botcollector....

Wow !! A very stunning page. And I like the colors. It is going to be a really busy one though. An awful lot of options.

It loaded for me almost instantly, but I'm on a hot line here at the office. I'm using IE5, and it all looked good.

I'm presuming you have visited Outfront before and know all the usual "givens", like tables, css, jpgs vs gifs, etc...? If you follow the advice given there, you should have little to no problem.

But I really like your graphics. The page really shows, instantly, what the subject of the site is all about.

Good job. I liked it...

First off - your site does a great job of telling the visitor what it's all about. I like the graphics, your content is good. The only problem is that I found it slow to load - 32 seconds. That's a lot longer than most people (especially kids) will wait. I looked using opera which is a very fast browser and am on a fast connection. if you can shave some of that time off so much the better. how about some of your graphics - are you able to reduce their file size at all?

Excellent site.

Mark

Hi Bot,

I checked this again at home on a 56k modem connected at 48K. Took about 35 or so seconds to load... a bit slow for most.

But I sure like those graphics.

Kindest regards...keep on truckin' !!

I opened it in both IE 5.5 and Opera 5.1.2 and it was instantaneous. Of course that's with a cable modem Sizing also looked ok in both (at 1024x768) Considering all the graphics I'd say great job. ------------------ If you see something that needs to be done, do it.
