Color scheme change - 7/20/2002 8:24:42
Hi all,
I just finished up a few subtle changes and modifying the color scheme at warmtiles.com
As always your input would be greatly appreciated.

VERY attractive! Only thing I didn' t like was the extra <hr> ' s on the COntact page. The home page looks very warm and inviting - perfect!

Great! It has a lovely glowing feeling about it! I' m not sure about the menu text colour - prefer the text in the .jpg (top left) but it still works well
The " warm tiles" logo is very nice, although it is a little pixelated but its not really noticeable
As usual, a great looking job!

Mike 54,
Very nice site. Great colors, goes perfectly with brochure. All worked well.
One bit of advice, just my humble opinion.
Under Istallation/Selection, I would remove the representative tile colors and stick with the alternating pale and med. orange colors. It will look much more professional.
I would also like to see a little better header on your subsequent pages. You have so much to choose from. It just feels a little too weak for me. Perhaps the solid orange with the slice of the brochure to the right and of course your warm tiles logo on top of the orange to the left ... or just typed straight across the top, more of a vignette. Hope this helps.
It is looking great.

Mike,
The whole site just fits! It' s great!
The tile selection chart is a bit garish, but ties in perfectly with the tri-fold brochure. The brochure and the web page charts differ as the web page has the extra column " Quantity & Color of Cartons for this Area." I really don' t understand the product, but the color of cartons is only important at the time of installation. The installer will not have the same table unless it is printed on the carton. Otherwise, that column doesn' t seem to add pertinent information for the web reader. Just a thought.
I also have a problem with the " Downloads" link name. Downloads to many web visitors means " programs" and other tools. " Documents," maybe?

Oh my goodness. Have you taken a look in Netscape 6.0? Or is there something wrong with my computer?!

Very nice Mike54.
Looks like you' ve taken to heart everyone' s suggestions. The header on your other pages is much improved and you changed colors Installation/Selection page.
One further suggestion would be to make sure your type is consistent throughout the site. All titles the same size and color and body text the same size. Try not to use more than one or two fonts, three at the most. And, increase your space between your header and type on every page. I personally do not care for the large green bullets. In most cases, you really don' t need them, if you do, use the generic little black ones. The green takes away from the great colors of your site.
Hope this helps you. Your site is looking really good.

Mike,
Two things:
1.) On the footer (the one with the copyright), the email to the mailto link for customer support goes to egs-eg.com and the email to the webmaster goes to egseg.com Those may, of course, be right but I just mention it because the two URLs are so close.
2.) The copyright date says 2001 but it' s 2002. I know there are many, many people here who know more about copyrights than I do. So if I' m wrong hopefully someone will correct me.
Tony
p.s. I also got a pop-under. Was that from you? At least it wasn' t for the " Amazing X!0!" [:p]

actually i don' t find the warm tiles logo anything like as warm as the orange colour scheme: for me it' s neutral if not verging on cold, not quite the image you' re after?! how about a brown logo or something like a bright/deep red? something like the brown/dark orange in the Electric floor warming system pic?
otherwise very nice

Richard,
That' s an interesting observation. The intent was to enclose the page at opposite corners. You' re saying it doesn' t accomplish that?

It does acomplish that in a way, but it kind of stresses that the page isn' t filled. I like the rest of the look a lot with the margins set as they are.
I' m having a hard time coming up with the right words to explain it, but it just seems a bit out of place to me. Off balance or something.

the menu code fills the page, what' s more it appears that any include pages are not handled correctly.
