sspainhour -> Thoughts/Suggestions? (4/1/2002 11:51:10)

Please take a look at my sight and tell me what you think. Please take if fairly easy on me, this is my first sight, but I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Before anyone comments on the font - it is the corporate standard and I was told to use it on the sight (I feel it is difficult to read). I am also having trouble with the way it displays on Netscape.

Overall I think it's a nice site (not sight) - I agree about the font, it is not very readable. I get a lot of white space to the left - I might consider centering it so the white space is a least equal of both sides of the content...

Oops! Typos are my specialty. Especially if I have not had enough caffeine to jump start my brain. I appreciate your comments, however, I am not real happy with the look and feel of the site, but I have no idea what it is I do not like. It could be just the font that I do not like, but I think it is something else. Any more comments would be great.

I think it's a nice site, but I do have a few comments:

Personally, I didn't like the rollover effects on the text, going from normal to italic causes it to "jump" and it's a bit unsettling, at least to me (especially on Long Term Care Insurance Plans - it goes from one line to 2 on the mouseover).

I feel like the site needs a little "punch", nothing fancy, just a little more life (the subject matter doesn't help, I know). I'm wondering if they would allow color photos? In my opinion, the black and white seems a little, uh, boring. But, that is MY opinion, you don't have to agree with it!

You asked, I gave.

I agree the site needs a little punch, I just can't figure out what. The primary audience for the site will be professionals (doctors, lawyers, dentists, CPAs)so I have tried to keep it clean, simple, and professional, but in my quest for simple professionalism, I have created boring. Centering it did help some – thanks. But I think it still needs more.

I'm in the process of creating some templates so people can get an idea of what I can do. I'm having a VERY hard time with a professional looking site and I have the same problem you do, how do you do simple and professional, without crossing over into boring .

Maybe, since I LOVE the graphics and all the little bells and whistles, I have a hard time simplifying. But I'm trying. Keep at it, and you'll get the result you are looking for!!
