Quick rebuild in 2.5 days. Not too chuffed as had to compromise with a hybrid layout, but am chuffed that it's the first SQL/ASP site I've built (ASP Sux BTW). Given it the quick once over, all seems ok in FF0.9.3 and IE6.

What are you, Tyla's personal critic? Do you sit on his right shoulder dressed in a devils costume or something? You seem to be spending a lot of time trying to find flaws in his websites, I hope there isn't one of you following me around.

It's a couple of days work and it looks pretty swish, give the guy a break.

Not much to say other than it looks great, very nicely done. Minimal table use looks like the result of someone who's just finished zeldmans book :) (thanks for the tip on that one, very interesting read indeed).

Though I am shocked at the use of an inline style, tut tut young Tyla.

I remember trying to get to grips with ASP, and I didn't rate it to highly.

The sunflower will eventually change based on season (still working that bit out) as the literature images change based on season too.

That'll be lack of knowledge of getting SQL to write out the alt tags at the same time as the images. Still getting to grips with the whole SQL/ASP thing. There's laso the problem that the back end CMS doesn't contain an input field for image description yet, something I'll look at at somepoint.

As for furniture images, plain laziness and the fact that for 2.5 days work, bound to miss something.

That looks cracking, i really like the sunflower at the bottom.

Agreed!

(Amazing work by the way, especially for 2.5 days!)

Also - as I know you are into 'standards' how come only the images on the main pages have ALT tags and not all images. I guess that was for someone else to do, right...
