Here's my two cents... 1. Get your web designer to be consistent with the font sizes. Some are larger than normal and some are normal size. About Us and Home have inconsistent font sizes. 2. For the boxes, I recommend using some neutral color (be consistent with the colors as well sincec you don't want it to be too colorful and distracting) to delineate them from the white background. 3. The blank grey spot on the main menu is out of place. 4. The navigational elements (main menu) should also be available at the bottom of the page so that the user doesn't have to scroll up to change to another section. They don't have to be the same font size, in fact a smaller than normal font will do. Narrow and tall isn't necessarily bad. Yes it would be nice to not have to scroll up or down or left and right but there's no telling what resolution the user will be looking at the page. Bottom line is...you can't please everybody. You can use tabs for your pages like the gallery page so that a user doesn't have to scroll down...they just have to tab over. Here's an easy to deploy tabbed interface that I use. http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/ It's free and it's quite easy to modify and use on your projects.

This keeps your site active in the viewer's browser. Otherwise, your visitor has navigated away from your site with no easy way back. - .projects and .products are far too similar - can you think of another name for one of them? - Is "E-Z-MRP" not available in English? That's what your website states ... "and is currently available in Chinese, Spanish, and French.". - There are many grammatical errors throughout the site, especially with the placement - or lack thereof - of commas. - Between all of the wasted spaces vertically and the fixed table width horizontally, the pages are abnormally skewed to very narrow and tall - thus, the scrolling required on every page. Generally, you should not used fixed widths unless absolutely necessary - the page should be allowed to fill the visitor's window/screen. Best regards, Bob Gajewski PS - I'm still disappointed that you have direct email links in your source code :( -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 09:45 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Feedback Needed - Round 2 Dear List: First of all thanks to everyone who responded the first time with input on the Beach Access Software web site redesign.
