boonedawg -> Request for Critique - Ecommerce Website (6/17/2006 22:12:02)

I know that some of my pages don't validate. I am working on it, but I would like some positive feedback for my site. Layout, design etc. Let me know what you think. This is my second attempt at a full CSS website. www.ramare.com
I would like to also thank everyone who has helped me get my site to the point it is at. [;)]

I think you've done an excellent job! The validation errors on the pages I looked at were small stuff - fixed very quickly should you wish to - rather than big, difficult stuff.

Things I'd definitely change -

Currently you're using px to size your text. This is a "bad idea" as it means that IE users can't increase the size of the text. I'd change it so that it says font-size:100.01% on the body element and then around 76% on the container. That should be roughly what you've got now.

BTW it all resizes up reasonably well in FF currently. You've got a couple of boxes that become untidy because they've probably got heights defined so the text ends up overflowing - but even so it takes the third increase to do it.

I'd also stick labels on your form elements - particularly as you're using a table for it.

So for instance the first input would look like this: 

<td width="287" align="right" valign="top"><label for="realname">Full Name:</label><br />


where the for=" " would be whatever the id of the input box is. The reason for this is to make it easier for people using text readers to know which label belongs to which input area - otherwise it can get a bit confusing for them.

The only other thing is - the top images "30-day money back guarantee" etc - are they going to be links as they really look like they should be. You're going to get people clicking away on those expecting something to happen!

looks good if not a little bit stark. dosn't fit in 800x600 without horizintal scrolling. easy to navigate
