Hey, what's that in the distance? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No you fools, it's pocketmonkey.co.uk!

Do you think you lot could do me the honour of caning my site please :D

The contents not there yet, but the layout is and a few other things are too. What I want to know is:

1. What do you think of the colours, layout, accessibility, etc?

2. What browser do you use and are there any major funk-ups with that browser?

3. Just how cute is Pocketmonkey!?

Cheers

No - I'm not a money grabbing buffoon. I'm doing this for entertainment...although seeing someone in a Pocketmonkey T-shirt would be cool...

Wow I love this site... but there's no adventures yet...

My major problem is that there are no fighting dinosaurs. Though the site does have potential to be one of those web phenonomen sites. So what you really need is t-shirts, that way when it does take off you already have the obligatory geek-chic t-shirts...

And a pop record. Like the Hamster Dance, accept about a pocket monkey.. can't you just hear the cash tills ringing?

I had to do that, or the table (which is at 100%) would have squashed up at the side of the page.

Cheers for your comments - it's really encouraging.

I like this one, cool layout, and like whooo didn't really think Orange could be good in a Web Page, but I was wrong.

Used IE6 with no problems.

Ah, if you look on the page and hover your mouse over the link, that bit ^^ means that you dont get the space between Meet and Pocketmonkey underlined.

ok... the site itself looks really cool! well done. however i know more about the scripting behind pages, so ill talk about those. in order to make it a perfect site in terms of the script, here's what to look at - these are just areas to look at, rather than solutions as well. just shout if u dont understand what i'm babbling on about...

1) DTD
2) CSS for .body margins
3) Alt attributes
4) Title attributes
5) Use CSS Font size keywords rather than px (e.g. Small, Large etc)
6) Tag nesting (Tell your friends)
7) META Tags
8) Head tags should not be inside !!
9) Break up tables - content can load quicker
10) 'Tell your Friends' clear onFocus
11) Line 125: _ (why????)

Other than these script things, the site looks great. Make sure you make points 5, 7, 8 and 9 priorities though - they are really quite important!

1- Firstly, I aint a massive fan of orange, but that pulls it off quite well, maybe consider using a different shade for the Latest Adventures and Tell A Friend box just to make them stand out against the rest a bit. Also that menu needs making a bit more obvious not sure how but it doesnt really stand out that much. The font for the main logo needs to change though, it just doesn't fit in with the bright colours and the whole idea of the site.

2- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, 1280x1024, 32bit colour, no problems at all.

3- Not incredibly, although I am a 100% heterosexual male. Anyone who says otherwise smells of wee and is called brenda on the weekend. OK?
