I would like a general review of the site as a whole... navigation, content, design, operability. I'm not sure if I can say what the purpose of the site is though.... Oh yeah, check out the style options too (there are three 'skins' for the site).

Hi,

Excellent design. Very clean and crisp.

The only page that did look a bit "busy" was the link page. I think because of the mixture of text and boxes in the same area.

Maybe by adding another <div ID> eg: (content_links) in the css file with a border attrbute would help them fit in better with the feel of that particular page.

Apart from that............ great looking site, well done

That's not a bad idea. I'll see about implementing it soon.

On a new note... I redesigned my design site this past weekend. Want to review that for me too??? http://design.kiswa.com

It's different than what I usually do, but I think it works. Let me know if I'm wrong.

i don't quite see the need for a different look for mozilla and msie.
and your site is totally broken in opera.

Hi,

Akh has made a good point regarding the problems in Opera. The problem though can be fixed quite easily.

If you edit the #navbar ul section of your css file to read:

float:center; instead of

float:left; , and then add

<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>

above the first navbar link on the main .htm pages this will allow the menu to run correctly. The forced spaces allow the menu to move over so that the logo can be seen properly. The number of spaces can be adjusted until the menu is placed how you want it.

Unfortunately Opera is very particular when it comes to code, but these changes will fix the problem. I have tested it for you in IE V6, Opera V7.1, Netscale V7.1 Mozilla V1.4a and Firefox V0.9.2.

As for the design.kiswa.com site, the layout is nice ,the navigation is simple, (may be worth thinking about putting a small text hyperlink menu at the bottom of the page, as when "show images" is turned off, navigation is quite testing ), colours match nicely (except the blue "go" button on the login ? which I think would look much better green.) Lastly, from a completely personal point-of-view the contrast between the page background, and the leaves background around the text section, looks a little course to me, but overall I like it.

Sorry, my mistake.

#navbar {
position: relative;
background: #addc9c url(../i/TkN2_nav.jpg) top left no-repeat;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
height: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
#navbar ul {
display: inline;
margin-left: 250px;
