Pippa -> first site - opinions gratefully recieved (12/2/2005 11:03:08)

Hi there
This is my first site

www.trainingforgundogs.com

and I would really appreciate any comments or advice - there are still a lot of items yet to add, but it would be good to know if I am going in the right direction

many thanks Pippa

your colors are unusual but - hey - different strokes and all that - i even got used to them. not bad for a first try.

looks great for a first site (and good at any rate) except... i don't like the bright green, too er bright, how about toning it down a bit?? nice pictures of the dogs :)
not sure whether this could be taken the wrong way

Very good for a first site but, like the others here, I find the green far too bright and overwhelming. A less iridescent green tone would be easier on the eyes.

Also the navigation bar on your "About Us" page is left aligned in Firefox and IE. Other pages appear to be centred okay.

I agree with the others, the green's a little bright. Another tiny niggle - the links going italicised when you hover over them is a little, um...not sure what the word I'm looking for is, but perhaps it would be better to change the colour of the links on hover or something? The shifting of the text as it goes italicised is quite distracting.

Also just a little point on the nav. There's very little contrast on the text when you hover over the buttons. I'd suggest either bolding the text or using a darker shade of green.

Nice first site though, and lovely doggies! [:)]

Thank you all very much for your replies. I will make some changes and post up again.

I don't suppose there is any way of changing all the green at once is there? Or am I going to have to do it page by page?

Pippa

I would try using CSS, I started using it around a month ago and it makes things like editing something on a lot of pages at once incredibly easy.

If you are using FrontPage, changing something like that site-wide is quite easy.

In HTML view highlight the colour (#00FF00) with your mouse and go to Edit >> Replace

Type the new colour value in the second field, check the radio button marked "All pages" and click "Replace All" button. You'll get a warning that the process can't be undone, so click OK and FP will do the work for you in a few seconds.
