Please look at my site blah blah blah.

Before you do:-

. I'm an amateur photographer, so the photos are going to be pants
. the site design is supposed to be simple, the idea being that it doesn't detract from the photos ;^)

All feedback is welcome, positive or negative, and feel free to comment on the photo (there'll be a new one everyday or so) on the site itself.

I could chuck loads of business Lukes way of only he supported Windows! All our sites are with FastHosts and in all honesty they're crap. Slowly moving all our new stuff to linux/php so there will be scope for future work to be hostred at DC.

Nice to see DC doing well for itself.

You could set that as a CSS list using link effects to generate that kind of thing. Using a state called .current could be applied to the current TN to keep the tn image slightly larger or in a constant on state.

What screen res is that at? I know it overlaps slightly below 800 wide, though the B may not be a permanent thing when they finalize that menu.

Can't say I've checked them yet. Should be JS handling all of that at the moment. In all hosesty, they only paid £1500 for this with a 3 day turnaround on the project. SO it was launched without true testing. Will bug fix nextweek at somepoint.

*EDIT* Ah ha, tis only on form one which will be my developers fault as he changed the JS when he was creating the JMAIL script. Cheers for pointing that out, just need to re-point it to the correct JS file.

Why bother when the client pays for sponsored links and gauranteed rankings. We also pay someone else to do that for us. Site is coded as discussed on the Al list Apart article on CSS and Search Engines.

lol, you'd think buy now you'd get it that I do infact do this as a job and have done for over 6 years. Nothing is ever perfect, but it's close enough for the turnaround time required fo this. I personally wouldn;t have launched it untill it had been tested properly, but I didn;t have that luxury, though open to offers if anyone wants to do me a test report.

Cool.

Also cool is how digital-crocus seems to have appeared everywhere, odd how things take off.

Good suggestion, but I want to keep it all fairly simple.

Cheers anyway.
