Site critique

tammy

Hi,
I've been helping one of the societies in college with the design of their new site and would like some feedback. http://filmmakers.csc.tcd.ie. It is still under development so there are broken links etc, but in terms of design and usability. I haven't seen it yet on mac or linux so comments there are very welcome.
Thanks.

Very nice, I really like that. Looks great on Mac firefox with a small screen.

Looks good .. nice and clean .. well done! .. The only UI thing is that the current/navigation side bars/boxes extend a small bit beyond the main title box, which is a small bit funny looking. Also the copyright character you're using doesn't validate, or display in Firefox.

For copyright, use the character: ©

good clean design, great job.

If I had to find something I didn't like it's the header nav bar.

I feel that you should either reduce the whitespace above the nav elements and logo or pop something in there, maybe an image or something. But thats just my personal opinion. There's nothing actually wrong with whats there now.

Nice and clean, I like it a lot.

Looking at it with Firefox and Konqueror in KDE (linux). Seems to work fine in both, although Konq gives the 'Current. . .' and 'Browse the site. . .' headings a drop-shadow while Firefox doesn't. Looks grand either way tbh.

I agree with that. I'd try reducing the height ot the contiaining top bar (with logo and menu), and maybe reducing the whitespace directly beneath it too.

Although in saying that, it could just mess up a good thing.

Very nice site. I like how its nice and plain yet it stands out. Nice use of white

Thanks for the comments. I'll bulk up the nav bar as suggested.
