Webplace Redesign

[cdiddy]

Hi There,
We have just recently redesigned our website.
We have tried to keep the layout simple and intuitive.
The address is http://www.webplace.com.au

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cameron

The design is nice. I especially like the drop-down menus.
Text text is microscopic on a high resolution monitor -- you might increase it a bit.

Good Luck -

Yeah, the menu is nice.. however if Javascript is disabled, the submenu pages cannot be accessed at all(?). I love the colours, good job.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your feedback.
In regards to the menu, I am think of either creating a submenu that gets shown when on the pages once the top level pages have been selected. Or look at making it a fully css menu down the track.

I think I will look at making the font size either em's or %. My only concern with this is that the size will be different depending on the operating system they use.

Can anybody please advise what would be the best option.

Thanks again

Very nice design... text is too small, I didn't even bother reading it.

Thanks for your feedback.
In regards to text size, at present the body text is set to 11px,
I am looking at in 1280 * 1024 and it is fine to read.
I want to use ems but my only concern is that the size does not stay consistent across all operating systems etc...

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cam

In your portfolio, content management system page, the very last link goes to the wrong web site

Re: Text - to be considerate of the various degrees of sight out there, really you should use relative values (ems, %s, etc.) for your font sizes. This allows visitors to increase the font size with their browser; I do this when I've misplaced my glasses. When you use absolute values, that prevents for any type of increase in size for the user.

Remember, your webpage isn't about presenting a cool controlled design, it's about imparting information. The design should always be flexible enough so that people can do what they need to do (suchas either increasing text size or using a screen magnifier) to access the information.

Also, take into consideration that you are using white text/dark background, which is hard on readability, no matter what the text size.
