Well, I'm stuck with older browsers and it doesn't work in either NS4.6 or IE4.0.

First of all: thanx for those replies!

Webmistress: I'll work on the noframes part asap, u made a good point there.

Busy: I know there are some (a lot) compatibility-problems, I'll fix them.

The scrollbar by the way is not my idea. It can be downloaded here

I know the delay page isn't needed. But they R E A L L Y want it... like some sort of intro with graphics and stuff about the company history, competences etc. After that a redirection to the actual page. This still has to be made first though

Mouse weel: hmmm. Let's see if that can be fixed. Problem is: time. I've got a fulltime job, a girlfriend, three other sites that need attention (maintainance/building) and part-time job as driver... and this site has to be done end of next week...

The 'smaller than 17" problem' you mentioned shouldn't be a problem I think. It is made for 800x600, larger is also ok ofcourse. People with 640x480 (how little % is that?) just have bad luck

Redirection page: I rest my case

Flipper:
The scrollbar is DHTML. See comments on Busy's feedback for url.

Images/text: the images still have to be delivered... as usual... They will be used as 'text breakers'.

Anyone else in for some feedback?

Here's what's it all about
Thanx in advance!

I really like it, can't understand what the site is about, but I really like it. I agree with Busy about the mouse scroll wheel, but hey small point.

The only other thing I'd add is to utilise the no frames content part more. This is a good place to optimise the page for the search engines

the page just had a few words (i think they were lol) in the center of the page, didnt go anywhere, had to go to pz_a.html manaualy. I'm not sure i'm on the right page, everyone mentioned a neat scroll bar but i dont see one, nor no mouseovers just a pic of a lamp and then heaps of blank space and text under it.

Brain wave ..... ok i see it now in Netscape 6, the page/layout/navigation doesnt work in Netscape 4.7.

i think i did something wrong, i clicked on the scrollbar and it moved up and down (cool idea) but then the angled squared opened in the window, as if i was viewing the image alone.
i must of double clicked it.

Just curious, why do you need the delay page? all your graphics should load pretty quickly being they are all small in shape and size. if you are going to use might as well use the logo on it and a preload script for the mouse overs (which are blank when you mouse over them?)

looks clean and well laid out in Netscape 6 (bad in Net 4.7) *i have to get rid of 6, giving me to many problems, sticking with trusty old 4.7*

My only quam is you have taken away the use of my mouse wheel , i love my mouse wheel lol. but seriously its refreshing to see a clean well laid out site

anyone use a screen smaller than 17" ?, am curious if the left side is viewable on a smaller screen as its fixed

layers (layout) and javascript (scoller and navagation) can be made to be useable in most (not all) browsers, maybe you could use that first page as a redirection page.

Nice looking site! I agree with Megan that scrollbar is very cool....Is it done with css or something else?

The nav icons are a nice touch as well..simple & coordinated. They do seem a little slow on a 56k modem and IE 5.5 but it might just be me

Its a bit heavy on the eye with all the text...maybe break it up into staggered cells with images or colors to break the page up a bit...

The splash screen at the front I assume is a browser detector..correct me if I'm wrong! Perhaps brighten that up a bit with maybe a background image and it won't seem so stark...

Overall, I like it but I couldn't understand a damn word!....(thinks about it....probably coz you're not dutch you fool..)

quick reply!

first of all: thanx!

Preloading: I know, I use the DW3 script and I think NS 6 doesn't like that...still have to fix that

Colo(u)rs : working on it!

Photos: You're right. Let's see if they can give me some neat photos (wait, wait, wait)

Indent: you're again right. I'll fix it asap!

Splash screen: That's no browser detection. Don't need it. But they REALLY want an intro, that's what the page is for...

Anyone else?

Looks good, I like it! Neat little scrollbar tool in there. I just want to play with it.

Something's messed up with the preloading of your mouseover images - they're taking forever to come up. Either there's something wrong with the script or they're taking too long to load because of the animation (I'm using NS 6.1 on a T1).

I like the way you've represented each section of the site with a different colour on the navbar. I would like to see you go further with that and incorporate that colour more into the design of each page.

I would also like to see some more photos or something in here. The content is very text heavy. You should also fix up the spacing in some areas - use to start a new paragraph not - it clarifies things more, and if it's a new paragraph under a list bullet just indent it a bit. I hope you get what I mean here.
