[WSG] Your opinion and feedback requested

2004-04-28 Thread Jason Grunstra
I just completed my first fully web-standards compliant website and would
appreciate any feedback. Anything from usability, layout, colors,
readability, etc... all is fair game. I appreciate your time and feedback.

the
sentinare.com layout falls apart pretty badly on my screen with just a
single increase in text size.

This is true, but it's mainly the way the 30-day free trial link is 
marked up with all those spans that goes kablooey and pushes the 
heading below it over. It may end up being easier to make an image link 
with alt text in a span to replace that. The heading div (metal) could 
stand to be scaleable as well. Apart from that the layout seems to hold 
together and the text flows as it should (in safari).

Just checked you website. I'm using IE6SP1 on WIN98SE. All's well except
for one issue.

As other's mentioned the text-size is a problem at large sizes in Safari.
I didn't really have a problem with large text sizes (it all seems to look
ok on 'biggest' except the header breaks a bit.)

My problem is at small sizes. I usually view the internet at 'smaller' in
IE. The text on your page is fine on 'Medium' but the jump to 'Smaller'
was huge. I'm not sure why (_) it goes from a good medium size at
'Medium' to tiny at 'Smaller'. 'Smallest' is microscopic.

I guess this isn't a big problem at all (^_^)  But it would be a bit
easier for the viewer if the text sized better.


Congradulations on the new site!

Hi there Jason...I think the site looks great, nice and clean and easy to
read.. well done.

My only comment is about the lack of a navigation menu
I know you can get to the home users, business users and service provider
sections from 3 different sets of links on the page but I spent a couple of
minutes looking around for a traditional menu of some sort so i think that
from a user point of view you might need to include one.

I would agree about having a navigation menu, even with replicating the
picture links on the right. They clearly define the user goals for the
site so I would have both.

Sounds like the IE font-size bug. Place font-size: 100% in the style for 
body, an it will probably look better when the user changes text-size in IE.
