yeah saw it last week, amazing design but the menu at the top needs a stronger colour for the font imo.. could also be better coded

but its very nice, love the flash.

About time you got it finished

Looks good, agree on the font for the menu at the top though, doesn't need to be much darker, but a little will help I think.

[edit]Oh yeah, and that bus really is like something out of Harry Potter, lol.

Sorry to be negative but its a shame its built with tables and you have 79 W3c validation erorrs.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...2Frelio.com%2F

Have you ever considered seperating your markup and design?

I really like the site overall. The only issues I have is the text is a little small especially on the top navigation menu and the side headings (Login to your control panel, spotlight, etc)

Don't happen to offer design services do you?

See, I am not a coder, and to be fair, the staff that worked on this with me, we are al designers, the main focus was that it looks good on all browsers.

after the site was built, I was told exacly about what you just mentioned.

another thing it needs changing is the way the pages are called because it's a single index.php wich calls the pages from a database, the inside pages dont exist, means less indexing.

the background code needs to be rebuilt, and tags need to be added (honestly, I want it "perfect")

now, what is the alternative to tables ?

I just typed a whole lesson about CSS insted of tables - but this ****ing forum just lost it!!!

Have a look at my website http://www.atechmedia.com - look at the source - not a table in sight. Then look at the CSS files in the http://www.atechmedia.com/css/style.css amongst others.

I like the look of it a lot however the top menu is leaving lots of empty space. I'd increase the contrast of the text and possibly increase the text/button size

Also, half the wording on the index page doesn't make sense; the opening paragraph is particularly awful:

Quote:

Get someone to fix that up big time.

Carlos - Drop me a line, I can sort you on all those points. I turned that 30KB hunk of crap HTML from Ravio into a nice CSS layout

Not really, because I've known Carlos for years and there wouldn't be any money changing hands
