New site fused multimedia.

vox

I am in the process of setting up a site offering my services. Do you think the look is alright. I want to go for something a bit different. Only one section is up (web design). Have a look at the navigation and see if it is easy enough to fugure out.

I assume you will be putting your portfolio of work up though i am not sure where it will fit within the navigation?

As a home page it was fine looking. I have to scroll on 1024 x 768 when there is no reason to though.

Layout and navigation needs to be looked at in the internal pages though. I would differenciate it from the home page.

Your CSS relies heavily on windows fonts, so the text looks pretty dire if you don't have them

There is only one font "verdana" it is quite a popular front. There will not be many issues with this.

It's a windows only font. I'm not using windows, therefore I cannot see it. Your CSS has the following:

style1 {
	font-family: Tahoma;
	font-size: 12px;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-weight: bold;
}
.style3 {font-size: 13px; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana;}

You have specified fonts as font-family which is incorrect.
Verdana should be set as sans-serif

What program would be used to make a website like that?

Ok, what font would you recommend as a substitute, i like the verdana font but i will try another. Cheers!

You use dreamweaver to make a site like that.

you should really have several alternatives to verdana - personally I use verdanan, helvetica and something else

also - really dont like how the small images on your nav bar disappear with each selection - very unsettling for the eye

I will keep a full criticim aside until I see a finished product

Seth Brundle

slightly petty but anyway...
on your web design/graphic design/other services pages you have the 3 boxes which have an image in each on the home page. However in these subsections the only one to have a pic is the one Im currently at.
I think I would prefer to attract attention to the other two by having pics in them instead and leave the box for the current one without a pic or unlinked.

Also if you are offering web design services maybe validate your HTML

Your CSS validates though

It's quite a popular font if you're on a recentish Windows machine. It doesn't exist elsewhere. Consider providing alternatives.

Thats a fair point. Thanks i think i will fade the other images slightly to make the current page stand out a bit more.

So if i set it up fo "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" will this solve the font issue?

Ph3n0m

yup - as you now have given multiple choices for different OS


also note the order you have them "Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" - is the order that the browser/OS will attempt to display in, i.e. if verdana aint present, try arial, etc, etc
