hey all,

I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what you think about this page! Im not too keen on the second Navigation bar ive put under the Purple banner.

i cant think of what else to use or where to put it? ive tried using tabs but they look even worse.

BACKGROUND INFO
------------------
Basically this website serves 2 companies - follett parts and frank l follett motors. i have the generic nav bar at the top but i need a second nav bar to navigate through the specific stuff used on frank l follett motors side.

If you wana have a look around the site as it please tell me what u think and what type of browser and connection you are using!

Many thanks!

Ed

The design is nice and I wasn't bothered at all with the second navigation bar. However, I would have liked to see some hover effetcs or something with the navi links o_O

Hi,

I'm using FF0.9.3 and the site loads cleanly for me.

I like the design, simple and clean. I'd like to see some rollovers on the links/nav bars though - with perhaps the box they're in getting slightly darker? This can easily be accomplished in CSS.

I also think the second navigation bar would look nice with rounded corners at the bottom left/right to keep in with the rounded purple bit. And if you can move the navbar's endpoint over by 1px so it lines up exactly it would look a little smarter.

I also assume you're going to tidy up the font etc used on the 'Links' page. Also a little note, on Firefox, the buttons for the login page, etc aren't the right height and you miss off the bottom bit of the text on the button.

I hope that helps,
computer

hey all!

thanks for the responses! much appreciated.! GOing to take a lot of that on bored.

Just a few questions those:

What did you mean by the "box its in" and changing the colour???

regards to the buttons: Thanks for pointing that out! ive seen it too with netscape! i am going to change them to pictures but they'll do at the mo!!!

its still not live?

Also probablty the biggest stupid(est) question. how do i do a rollover. this is my first proper website. Im moving away from building Applications. what i would like to do is have a gradient rollover so that it just looks like the top half of each nav bar is lighting up!

cheers for the help lads and laddets

Ed

the pageback colour fade is probably a 1x800px image or so which starts at one colour and gradients down to another. this is then set as the background image of the page with repeat on x but not y.

the rolllovers on the macromedia site are flash, so if you have flash you can do that if not simple css rollovers are the easiest...
