Hi all,

have now completely changed the web using css.

www.homesinspain.ltd.uk

Please let me know what you think, I can take it!!! - good or bad!
colours, text size, content, ease of use, etc, etc.

ps - Lori, if you are looking at this, thanks for your ideas with the home page images, I know this went to someone else, so I hope you dont mind me doing a kind of copy (it no where near has your original flair!!!). Also, I cant use the original house picture either as we have sold it and the new owners may object, ha, ha.

It's a lot nicer than the original though I don't like that animated gif with teh sun coming up - I think it's distracting.

In Mozilla 1.6, the middle image overlaps the one on the left a little .

Thanks Peppergal.
I know what you mean about the animated gif, I would like to change it for something else but I dont really have any graphics skills to create something new. I could really do with something that gives impact, but doesn't distract.

Also, the image overlapping - it is actually one image created out of 2 - I thought I was being artly, lol. Again, i think I need to put a bit more thought into it - any ideas are very welcome - my brain has gone into sleep mode!!!!!

Also, on a side note, on the home page I added the text to the top image "The family company.....", it was nice and crisp, but when I optimzed the image to make the file smaller it becomes fuzzy. Anyone got any tips to optimize and image with text and keep the text crisp?



Peppergal -> RE: Be brutal (again) (7/8/2004 11:57:01)

LOL, sorry about shooting down your "arty" graphic!

I have found that text optimizes poorly in jpg format, and photos don't work as gifs....I've not been able to happily get text on a jpg...

You could post in the graphics forum and see if someone has the time and incination (I have the inclination but no time right now) to make you a new graphic to replace the Homes in Spain one...an offer of a prize (one guy gave offered a new CD) or a little cash might entice some more folks. ;-)



SimonCleaver -> RE: Be brutal (again) (7/8/2004 12:03:55)

thanks again,
ok - text has now been moved out of the graphic, so its nice and crisp.
"Arty" overlap now removed - you were right, you were the 3rd person to report an overlap problem, lol.

It's time to go to the pub now - so will give the logo some thought - unless anyone wants to help for a free jug of sangria (I live in Spain and you must collect).
