Great, Internext Explorer hates me Well I am not too fond of it either! Thanks for the info Pat.

Hi All, I am having major problems when trying to view my web2print library page in IE8, it consistently crashes IE8 The same page works fine in Firefox and Safari. I know it is something to do with the theme I have applied, so it could be a css error. Does anyone know of a way I can find out what is causing the problem? If you are not using IE8 this is the problem page Don't click if you use IE8 Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks

I hate to say these 2 words but . . . Animated gif with a js image over behaviour. And ty thefandango, tobo decided it was mustard rather than yellow, so I am sticking to calling it that and investing in a pair of shades when working on this site. I am finally starting to feel happy with it now. Thanks again guys for pushing me to add those last wee bits!

Great advice once again and I have implemented it all Why H4 rather than H2, I have no idea to be honest! However it is now fixed. I also changed my png's to 8bit, I also changed the background colour, thanks JMC, and try the top 3 links now, hee hee, is it too much? I am having too much fun with this site now!

Thanks for the feedback, I have changed the navigation menu so now it has an orange background on the drop down lists. I had been thinking of adding a faint graphic on the background layer, but wasn't sure if it would make it too busy.

I am using firefox on my iMac and your contact button is dropping down below contact us, not sure if that is on purpose. I like the rollover effect on your recent project sites. I feel it is almost too white, although I am very much a colour / picture / pattern type person. The page maybe does need more of a focus point, I keep getting drawn to the block colour of the navigation rather than the main content of the page.

My yellow website again Hi again everyone, So a few weeks ago I asked if my website was too yellow. Yes was pretty much the reply. However that hasn't changed much. My MD loves the yellow and I must admit it is slowly growing on me However I have dulled it down slightly. The other feedback I did take on board was it looked too templatey, so I decided to rework a great deal of the site, aiming for a fun lighthearted approach. As always your feedback and comments are greatly appreciated.

They did also remind me of vodaphone, however the second one less so. I also felt the second design was a cleaner design and displayed the information much better. Also the sign up jumps out the page, the first option doesn't jump out as much.

Thanks dcman, that is excatly what I was looking for!

Javascript is fine, sorry should have said that I already use it for the drop down menus and tabbed containers so not too worried about using it for image fades too.

Hi, I was hoping someone could point me in the best direction to create a non flash image loop. Not too sure what you call it, but basically where lots of images fade in and out on a loop. Here is an example of what I would like to achieve. An example site. I have found loads of tutorials for this, but I am unsure what one is the best to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated as always

Wishaw Printing Company This is a new site for a family run printing company, my director didn't want anything too dull or boring and something that included the logo colours. So after posting my other site here for feedback and finding the whole process very useful, I thought I would add the new site I am working on. I still haven't finished all the pages or added the final copy, but the main idea of the design and look is finished. My partner thinks it is too bright, however the director of my company loves it. Any feedback would be very welcome even if it is not just on the yellow

Thanks. I am finaly happy with it and the new design seems to be working. Wouldn't have done it without the great advice from here though!

That's the new site live today. Thanks for all your help everyone! I have even got it validating in WC3, wooo hoo!

The login button was for people to track an order or return to a saved document Not sure if I could call it something else. I have moved the button into the box and brought the borders up Again great advice thanks folks! As for marketing I am not sure yet, phase one is getting the website just right, then we will have to start thinking of all the above and more. I am thinking of asking a few funeral directors for feedback too as they will know the target market better than anyone.

Very nice looking site. I love the scrolling effect for the portfolio. All looks nice and clean and professional. The only one thing that stands out is the red folder image for the portfolio page, in my opinion it seems to stand out and be different from the other Graphics and isn’t the same quality / quirkiness as the others.

Thanks for all of the comments, they have been a great help. Been working on this for so long I think I forgot about who the end user actually was! I decided to soften the design and approach. I have attached the new design I am working on and any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again in advance!

Before we had lots of text on the home page, we changed it to make it clearer we were selling something. Maybe I could add some text between the header and the 1,2,3 to make it a bit more personal As for dreamweaver I try and use split view, but yes I am guilty of throwing too much in via design view, the spry css also always seems to give me problems. Thats what I get for trying to be fancy eh!

Ah thanks for the feedback, I use dreamweaver, it always seems to cause me problems I will try and fix the errors and take a look at the design again. I added the 1,2,3 steps to make it more sales like, maybe I went too far the other way.

www.funeralhymnsheets.co.uk orderprint.co.uk/funeralhymnsheetsetc/UserContentStart.aspx I have been working on the above sites for a while now and have finally made them live in the last week. The sites consist of an html intro site that links into an out of the box web2print system; I only have limited control over the second site. The idea is that people in the UK can order Funeral Order of Services online and get them delivered quickly. With it being a funeral stationery site I tried to keep the design neutral without being overly sombre (I hope!) Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. As I have now updated the live site here is the old site so you can see the changes made from the advice below
