Site going live in 2 days

[dtm32236]

Hey guys,

I'm putting my site (http://www.foremostgroups.com/dev/2007corporate/index.html) up live in two days (wed), so I'd really appreciate any input and criticism.

I'd like to know about load time and navigation (if a user were to try to find the Hawthorne vanity collection, for example) as well as look & feel.

Note that Home Furnishing and OEM Products is not up yet, but my client wants to go live now anyway.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Very impressive IMO. My only criticism would be that "Corporate Home" is confusing, and it should just be "Home". Corporate Home seems to imply a different site to me. But you already had a topic about this. I like how its lightweight but offers alot of functionality, like the "Downloads" link as well as the style switching not requiring a reload.

Thanks TJ111. That's good to hear. And I completely agree about the "Corporate Home" thing, but my clients don't like a Home link near the Home Furnishing one... They think it's confusing for some reason, so this the best solution I could come up with.

I'm hoping that the load time, in general, is okay, but can you (or anyone) let me know how it is on a graphics-heavy page, like on the Diplomat Collection (http://www.foremostgroups.com/dev/2007corporate/K&B/rta_bath_furniture/diplomat.html) page?

Thanks again for your time.

anyone else?

I'd love to hear about load time and how it looks on a Mac and/or Linux. I haven't been able to test on a Mac in a while.

Nice. Alot of 'white space'. I approve.
Loads on 56-KBS in under 15-seconds. 8-10 second would be 'ideal', but there is a script involved, and 'under 20-seconds' is strill reasonable.

One warning (screenshot). -an extra un-needed "</div>"

Well done.

... let me know how it is on a graphics-heavy page, like on the Diplomat Collection (http://www.foremostgroups.com/dev/2007corporate/K&B/rta_bath_furniture/diplomat.html) Screenshot. It's actually FASTER. Most of your images are referanced via CSS, so therefore not needed until called-for.

Thanks a lot WebJoel. That's really helpful.

And thanks for pointing out the extra div. I didn't notice that.
