Alright chaps. My latest site development has gone live, I didn't do the design but feel free to critic that and the code. I have tested it in several browsers, but if you notice any problems in yours, take a screenshot as it will help me to fix it.

Cheers

no so sure about the left-most headers in the layout.. don't know whether it is by design or safari rendering... but they look a bit out of place compared to the rest of the text.

It's intentional, it was in the design.

Nah, it's a fair enough comment. I take it you feel it would look better if the left side of the header for the navigation lined up with the left side of the navigation links?

Do Gooder · 22-05-2008, 10:13

yup.

looks way out of place to me.. especially as you have a aligned header on the 'main content' column.

Seconded. Although you're going to need a way of differentiating between the parent category and the page title.

Agree with those headings looking out of place, but overall it's nice.

Kinda bland, but it's a security company FFS. Some things are meant to be bland.

Nice work. Solid code, as expected.

I much prefer squishy code.

Pugsley · 22-05-2008, 10:59

do gooder you crack me up with your one liners.

Site looks nice freebie. Like the orange white scheme. Agree with the header bit. Looks like a mistake to me.

I come at it from a purely design side. Code means nothing to me.

Do Gooder · 22-05-2008, 11:08

it's working with copywriters that does it.. we all eat lashings silly quips for breakfast.

Dusteh · 22-05-2008, 11:16

Nice and clean. does the job, headers are bugging me as well. Love the UK terrorism threat level indicator, think I'll add one of those to my own site.

Scott · 22-05-2008, 14:35

yeah agreed on the whole lining things up mate.

Nice site.

teapoted · 23-05-2008, 10:49

It looks fairly solid on most of the pages but i have to say on the front page there is not really any clear hierarchy to be found anywhere and i am kind of lost for where to look at as there are so many fields of different things and i dont really know where to start at.

I'm guessing that there are some pages that are going to be accessed first by incoming clients and i think that it would make a lot more sense if those were advertised more than the other ones. Maybe make the more popular options bigger or something, of course if the clients want to advertise everything in the same sense then it doesn't matter, it just seems as if when you go to the site for the most common purpose it might not be too easy to see.

I'm also not quite sure if pictures for the links are necesary, nothing big but I get people whining about it if it's not obvious why it's needed.

All in all it looks very solid, what the client would expect i hope =P
