Hello OF

After many tears :) I think my work site is done. Can everyone critique/check the site for me, particularly NHS Juniors.

btw the NVQ Link doesn't work and Im working on it right now.

Thanks!!!!

A quick poke around and I think it's looking good. I did notice 2 little things.

1. On the celebrating success page the linked images are barely larger than the thumbnails. What's the point of having them?

2. The linked images come up in the current page rather than a new page of its own. The result being that unless I thought to use the back button I would close the window and expect to be back to the celebrating success page. I didn't and I wasn't, I was gone from the site.:) :)

Well Labs

The site looks really good to me. It has come along way since your first posting.

Easy to navigate. Pleasing to the eyes.:)

By the way the site credit didn't work on the first page - showed up as an error.

Clarify that for me Dan, you would not have used a new window or you would have closed out of the window?:):):)

long story - lost the originals whilst I was updating :)

Found these from somewhere so put them in - I didn't put the originals in as they took so much space so made them smaller.

Im always going back but I do see your point and will adjust it now.

Very professional looking. A great improvement.

Just one small piccy point. On the bottom left where you have the validation logos the HTML one isn't centered and the CSS one is, it jumps out at me a bit. Then because I am looking at that corner I notice that the table with the logos in is asymetric. IMHO It would look much better if both columns were the same width. You would need to resample the logo images in the right hand column to make them around 90px wide then set both column widths to 100px. This is only my personal taste, but I would also take out the outline and drop shadow around that table so that only the dark orangey-yellow colour separates the white background images.

I have made the changes everyone suggested. Got the NVQ link working now.

Donkey I have taken the shadow out of the box on the homepage only, wanted you to check I done it right before doing the whole site.

As for the links still a bit undecided. I have kept all internal links in same window BUT have changed the Links page so they open in a new window. don't know what to do with the logos yet might make them external too!!!

Looks good. Just one thing (though it may just be me that's not read the previous posts correctly) - some of the links on the NHS Juniors page don't seem to be working (Official Opening, Our Acheivements, NVQs...), and the little blue balls that followed me round the page irritated me, but that's just a personal thing.

Yea I need sort that out working on it now,,

the little balls were just something fun - as that part of the site is just for 14 -19 yr olds. Couldn't think how to make it more appealing to younger viewers.

If I'm older than you, then I must be positively ancient, seeing as you're older than the 1905 year of birth the profile form allows you. And please don't try to out-do me in the slowness stakes, 'cos I'll win hands down every time :) (it takes years of practice to be both as daft and slow as me).
