Here' s A New One... - 10/26/2002 23:40:41
Hello OutFront Friends,
I' ve been working on a page for a client and wanted some input. There' s something in the top graphic my husband hates, and he swears nobody will know what it is. ???
I was looking for some early critiques on it. Nothing is linked up to it yet; I don' t have any alt text as I' m waiting for her to approve the pics before I go to all that trouble. I would appreciate just a general impression. I would also like to know if the top graphic is painfully slow to load; I really can' t tell since it' s already in my computer....also, how did I do at getting keywords in the text of the page..does it sound redundant? (they kewords would be poconos, northeast pa, lake wallenpaupack, etc)

Thanks in advance...
It should look good in NN4.7, 6, 7, Mozilla, and IE, as I' ve tested it in them. I like the way it looks in IE best, but all are acceptable, I think.

Peppergal,
Just took a waltz through and I like the colors and the graphics. I couldn' t really tell about the download time, since I' m using broadband.
However a few of things struck me:
First, the top graphic seems to be too big. At 800 & 600 it takes up most of the screen, so there is little information about the site being displayed.
The font used for ' Lake Wallenpaupack' is very difficult to read. For a name like ' Wallenpaupack' , it should be an easy font to see. (Suggest a non-script font.)
Also, around the ' Come to the beautiful Poconos' in the main image, it' s all squiggly. (I assume from optimizing the jpeg. Just a pet peeve of mine, but it' s not that bad.)
Keep the ' Hyperlinks' in some sort of consistency. Your visitors should be able to easily identify a link to other information. I didn' t realize that [Joseph J. Obrien, Realtor] was a hyperlink until my mouse passed over it and the mouse icon changed.
Last, but most important...don' t make your visitors scroll to the bottom of the screen to find the site navigation. Make as much information readily available on the screen as soon as the page loads.
I know it sounds like I' m bearing down on your site, but on the whole I liked it. It' s clean and crisp and professional.
Good luck.

i like it! Its clean and readable but I have to agree with SuperConductor
your image @ the top is too big.
the links need to be at the top of the page or on the left side - not at the bottom.
maybe the page is too long (?) - maybe you should break that first page up

Thanks guys...I made some changes as per your suggestions:

Re: the " Joseph J OBrien" being a link...the underlined web address at the bottom of that paragraph was supposed to be the only part that links, but I guess I had the entire section highlighted when I turned it into a link. I figured I' d just leave it alone...but maybe I should change it.
Funny thing, the picture of the waterskier is supposed to make you think it' s on Lake Wallenpaupack; actually it' s a shot I took in Lancaster County (about 3 hours south) on the Susquehanna River! :-)
