Just comments on layout...?

[Riverworld]

Hey all,

Does anyone have any comments, suggestions or ideas about the layout currently in use at www.riverworld.net/?

Also, does anyone see spelling or grammatical mistakes?

Clean and simple design, I like blue. :)

Sentence and paragraph on site would be better if you change align to justify.

And may be I have some idea for Mr River about design :)

Tested in IE6 56k modem 800x600. Loads nice and fast. Black text a little difficult to read against the background. Looks good in 800x600. A very nice design. Good luck with it.

Looks good, except the top looks a little strange.

Riverworld.net as a registered Australian trader means your investment in our services are guaranteed - unlike our competition. <-- I suggest you put in commas in this sentence, it's hard to digest at one whole.

Also, the link hovers does not work on visited links, you might want to fix that.

I'm sorry but I hate the text @ the bottom, and i dont like the logo.

[Riverworld]

Thanks everyone thus far.

horaz: suggestions taken on board and utilized

nick: I'm looking into lightening the background...

trenzterra: paragraph re-worded and I'm looking into the nav idea

PhoenixNetworks: I'm looking into adjusting the footer - what about the logo don't you like?

Site adjusted

I love the clean and simple desing you have there. Except the navigation on doesn't look good jammed in between the header and the main body... Otherwise good job!

Im using Firefox here, and your side menu doesnt line up with the body. Its above it. Looks fine in IE, just in Firefox. Looking at your source and playing around with it, <tr><td> on line 116 fixed it.

Am I the only one here using Firefox?

[nanzhong]

Of course not! :applaudin I use it as well, that's why I mentioned the menu thing in my post as well.

I havn't had a chance to do the rounds of my site in altering browsers and Operating Systems...

I designed it in Opera.

If you get a free chance, could you please post a screen shot and suggest how to fix it?

Read my last post on how to fix it. It worked for me. Id post a screen shot but Im in a little bit of a hurry right now, maybe tonight if I remember

[Riverworld]

Could you please post the surrounding code of line 116?

Because of how the site has been setup - the main document isn't actually very big at all and line 116 is like </html>

[4ran]

Simple and Blue ! I like it !

hmm but maybe you should care more about the Font ! and the text colour...

[cowax]

Ok, see where this is?

<table width="130" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="left" bgcolor="#445488" valign="top">
<!-- This includes the NAV for the site, and will change depending on the URL -->
<font color="#445488" align="right"><br />

Do this:

<table width="130" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="left" bgcolor="#445488" valign="top">
<tr><td>
<!-- This includes the NAV for the site, and will change depending on the URL -->
<font color="#445488" align="right"><br />


It will look the same in IE but will be much better in firefox :)

Tested in: IE6
Connection: 512k DSL
OS: Windows XP Home Edition

Speed = 9/10
Content = 8/10
Design = 5/10
Overall = 7/10

Reflecting on my last post, site design is nice, but I still don't like the logo... :confused4

[Riverworld]

Thanks cowax - I've changed the source code now :)

[cowax]

It works now :) Site looks good

[Riverworld]

Thanks for the help cowax :)

Site is good... But I just hope that isn't your mission statement down the bottom.

"To provide Internet users with resources to present personal or business web sites globally."

If so, please enroll in a Business/Marketing course, at least for the Strategic Planning unit.

The design looks clean enough. However, the site is a bit empty at the moment. But I would assume that you will fill in the gaps in the future. So, overall, it's a good design.

I believe there's only one L in 'enrol'.

I didn't notice that - when I made the layout, I just quickly put in a line to signify there would be business information down the bottom (before I got around to putting the mailing address, contact numbers and so forth.

Simply, I forgot to change it before publishing the site.

It's really finding the time to format it for the site at the moment. Our clients come first, then when you get to all the paperwork that comes with running a business and dealing with other things, times starts to disappear very quickly! Even with additional help... I will see to getting the full site going though. :)
