Yet another offering from myself. Can't say it's the most inspiring thing I've ever made, and yes, the client wanted it to look that boring! They're chemists aferall!!

This one WONT be in the portfolio!

Looks pretty good if you ask me (although I must agree it's not exactly 'inspiring')

On one of the pictures (at the top), some guy looks like he is snorting cocaine.

The drop-down menus are broken in Opera 7.51. The main headings ("Research Chemicals & Intermediates" and "Aroma Chemicals") sit on top of each other, rather than side to side.

I never test for opera, dunno why, maybe due to not knowing anyone who uses it, really should, but it's worse that IE with all the versions about and the varying ropey support it has for CSS and standards.

The product images are fantastic, quite handy to look up the functional groups as well.

FYI...

The validation from a blank contact FORM produces an HTTP 500 Internal Error.

When mousing over the Aroma Chems. navigation on IE 6 @ 1024 it causes a horizontal scroll bar to be added.

For usability most people expect to be able to click on the top logo/header to get back to the home page.

On Ie, the site content seems to be right justifed.

On a 1024 x 768 monitor, nearly half of the page is whitespace.

Intended? Just seems as if the "flow" of the pages are a little odd. :)

Lol, I now feel it was worth the effort. Have to say though, thank god 8:3 file naming conventions have dies otherwise;

"Lawesson's Reagent (2,4-Bis(4-methoxyphenyl) -2,4-dithioxo-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane).gif"

would have been a real problem!;)

unfotunatley, intended.

After showing the company the concepts, they ditch the nice two for this one, it was only after that I suddenly realised this would cause issues with the LHS of the page and the ammount of white spabe in some areas.

Quite liked the idea or a rught aligned page, makes it more natural for RH users oddly enough, but did spend ages trying to explain to them that "Yes, White space is good, but No, not that much".

This is just phase one, too almost 6 months to get this far and they're happy with what they got. Phase 2 starts in April, but fingers crossed, I'll be gone from here by then.

I really should unblock Hmmm... Feel I might be missing out on his great words of wisdom?
