I didn't do the design, a friend of mine did (he's a pro designer).

I'm more interested in getting feedback on the "design" of the (x)html. It's my first solution build using a framework I've developed using .NET. The output (in this case xhtml) is created using XML and XSL.

What do you experts think about that approach ??

TIA, regards,
Steen

Thumbs up

Oooo that's sexy. Like it a lot. The only thing I would say about the design is the huge amount of screen real estate that the green header/title box box thingo takes up. What value does it add being so big? Other than that - great stuff.

i'd just like to add another vote to the less green space campaign , but other than that the site is looking very good indeed.

the green and grey work really well together.

your english version isn't quite complete, if you're going to offer a translation, it would look better for it to be full.

Thanks guys! Luckily the "green space" is smaller once you enter the protected part of the site (62 pixels in height).

I know, I haven't written the news in english yet, but I'll come to that once the site is ready for "launch".

Comments on xhtml, xml and xsl, or should I ask these questions in the web design forum!?

regards,
Steen

sorry, i forgot to comment on your code...

your xhtml looks good, one thing that seems a little strange are your huge class names
PHP Code:
<div class="box bordershadow boxsmall rightmargin floatleft"


i think i see what you're trying to do, but i didn't realise that it was allowed.

you've defined separate classes, box, boxsmall etc. and then called then using one class definition. I didn't realise that was possible?

and what the heck is base.css , it seems to be typical 404 error page.

em... maybe what you're doing is just way over my head, either way some explanation would be very welcome.

also, i can't see anything that looks like xsl styled xml, although my knowledge of them is very limited.

yes, you can apply multiple classes to an element, it just melds the properties together, with later classes overriding earlier ones.

Yes, it's a bit easier when changing design, if you are using several (simpler) classes for you styles.

The output (for the browser) has been transformed. It's server-side I use xsl to style xml. That way I just have to write a few xsl "stylesheets" to create output for another client/browser type ie. wap (not that I've implemented this yet, but I will eventuelly).

regards,
Steen

I don't see any picture at the main green ad area...also I prefer you to use larger fonts..It will be more readable. It seems most of the functionallity works good..:-)

I agree with jacktasia the large green area is very appealing to me... gives a very sophisticated, stylish look... but thats just my oppinion

and about xhtml, xml and xsl I wont comment there because I have no idea about that type of coding.

great work... and keep the green

Thank you. The design isn't my work, but it's done using a combination of Photoshop and InterDev (for css and xhtml).
The "machine" behind the site is build using .Net (C#), in Visual Studio .NET 2003. (It's called Custom Website Framework).
