Looking for a critique

[TCS]

of our slightly revamped site.

Dunno, but there is just something that say "Not finished" to me. But I'm at a loss as to what!

Hi,

For a start the navigation reminds me of the Google ads that get displayed on websites. I had to look for a minute to find them. Also I'm not sure that the yellow works with the blue and I think you'd benefit from adding some borders. Perhaps 1px wide and maybe a hex colour of #333333 (which is grey).

Overall the site design and layout is good and I do like the header, very clean and my kind of header. Images are nice too. There's just a few edges that need 'rounding off'.

I agree with sladmin's comments, you definitely need a border, and the yellow does not work at all.
Regarding the navigation menu at the top, each item should fit on one line, not stretch to two, it would look cleaner that way.
I would also look into centering the page which would look cleaner.

Mozilla user?

The site is centered in IE, working on why Mozilla wants to be damned awkward.

What colour do you guys reckon for the overlap around the pages?

The menu unfortunately is too long when items are placed on one line, but looking into it atm, see what I can do. I may try putting our logo on the Header Image and then moving the menu to single line beneath the header image.

I agree, a navigation menu below your main header image would work great. People expect navigation to be here anyway so it's much easier for them. I would suggest the colour of your border to be about #333333 or a blue.

Also I would try to get your website centred on the most popular browsers (IE & FF) and don't forget different versions. Websites I design always looks the same on both browsers and are compatible with multiple resolutions. Some designs actually resize for 640 x 480!

Hope that helps :thumbup1:

Thanks for the tips folks, most appreciate.

Got FF sorted (although I still can't believe that that dopey browser still doesn't support CSS 2 properly :mad:).

Still going to play with the wrapper colour, although the gray/blue I used seems to be ok.

Just took a look at the site again, HUGE improvement. I actually enjoy visiting it now. Much better especially the navigation. Looks a lot more tidy and much better centered.

Well Done! :thumbup1:

My very humble point of view of your first page. I make the same mistakes and never really care, but , here goes.

First thing I thought when I saw the site, is which number do I ring? The two at the two don't really help me decide.

Links within the body of the text are very consistent. You have 3 different formats.

The horizontal bar under the <H1> on the page doesn't fit the background colour. I see a white haze on top of the blue.
