I have been asked by someone to make a website for there small gas and plumbing company didnt have to be flashy just basic but look good i would like your opinions on this layout (content isnt complete just bits i have been given and i have thrown it)

First Class Gas

Doesn't look complete in any way.

The layout is very generic, there's not a lot to say about it really.

You need to put some margin to the left of the navigation bar.

The header is woeful, and so is the way you've just pasted in that call us now graphic. It looks really unprofessional and lazy. I personally wouldn't let these guys go anywhere near my boiler if I saw they used this website.

Your CSS doesn't validate even though you claim it does.

It looks kinda old school dude. That menu with the centered text reminds me of a 90's site. At least your not using tables.

Chris_Crew · 06-01-2008, 22:47

thanks for the comments gonna go about looks at changing the menu abit.

The content for the offers and the header is what they want and i didnt make either of them it is what i have been asked to put as the header and what gpes on the offers page.

Bazzle could you please show me where the CSS doesn't validate? the link may not work but the CSS validates fine.

Yeah I don't know what bazzle is talking about. The css and xhtml seems to validate fine.

There was an error when I checked it yesterday, looks like you've sorted it out since tho.

Chris_Crew · 07-01-2008, 09:24

Maybe prioritise the aesthetics before validation.
Design is far from being 'first class'

Chris_Crew · 07-01-2008, 09:37

i only said that because bazzle has in a small way called me a liar and then tried to cover up his mistake by saying i changed it.

I am going back to the client today and see what i am allowed to change i was given very strict guidelines and for the money i aint going to argue about it

bazzle · 07-01-2008, 09:50

All i'm saying is that when I checked it yesterday, it didn't validate.

If in your mind that constitutes me calling you a liar then I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.

But I didn't call you a liar, I don't even know you.

herkalees · 07-01-2008, 09:55

liar.

Chris_Crew · 07-01-2008, 10:20

herkalees how dare you

It is fine Bazzle just the way i read it thats all i didnt mean to be rude or anything

herkalees · 07-01-2008, 10:26

Ha, I was just playing - On Mondays, I'm quite the instigator.

chriskalani · 07-01-2008, 11:53

haha, validation drama... nice.

CWSites · 07-01-2008, 14:03

I would def. try to talk them into letting you change the banner. make the logos bigger at least..

jesusfreak101 · 07-01-2008, 14:42

the css validator isnt validating for me, and the link for the xhtml doesnt go anywhere. I'm on Vista using Firefox

Chris_Crew · 07-01-2008, 15:23

the link for both dont go to the right place.

the css link on is is made for when it is in the root not the folder layout

2Dfruit · 07-01-2008, 16:03
