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!

Am chuffed with products.asp. Took ages to get those structure images to generate dynamically. ASP still sucks!!

Left hand side?

Right header?

Just a guess...

Firstly, LHS and RH , what do these mean?

The site comes of as very easy to use, a big plus there. Might not be the most thrilling work you've ever done, but if the client is happy then you've done enough.

Though the 2nd pop-up menu overflows to the right a tad on a 800 X 600 screen (both IE and Firefox), producing the bottom scroll bar, which is a tad annoying on any web site.

Must have been a bit useful for you as I see you have now corrected your code!

Please try to remember that if you post your web design in a forum like this then it's for people to comment on - not just chant "TYLA YOU'RE THE BEST..."

Click on Aroma Chemicals and look at the picture in the top right.

You gotta admit, it does look like the bloke is taking a whiff of some substance

I thought you would like to know that the contact form produces an HTTP 500 server error!? So that you could correct it!!!

I guess you only like to hear the one tune...

Heh, always the case though! Still, apart from that quirk (IMHO) the rest is *very* nice. I'm always a big fan of the minimilst "less is more".

Oh, and can I ask a favor. I'd like some feedback on a site I've got online, but don't want to post it here. If I give you my email address, can I send you the you the address have a look?

[edit] I'll post my email address.

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?
