Ouch! Hope you're better now.

I'll be working on the site over the next few days... I'll take your suggestions into account.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Anyway, what I meant about the nav links:
The ones on the bottom need to be a different color besides black. You may have changed this....haven't looked yet.

As for the other....I was actually talking about the left side nav on both pages when I said, "Not sure if I like the one with or without the white background. The nav links still need some UMPH though. But they are't bad really."
The one with the white bg meaning: http://www.sportsnz.co.nz/crs/

The one withOUT the white bg meaning: http://www.college-rifles.co.nz/

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. I was probably fuzzy as well.

Hey DM,

Haven't seen you around for a while...

Thanks for that. I didn't know I had to put "copyright" as well as the (c) symbol.

Quote: I was thinking the same thing about making the nav links bold but I see you are using bold to mark what page you are on. Good idea!! Not sure if I like the one with or without the white background. The nav links still need some UMPH though. But they are't bad really. ;

Sorry, but I totally lost track here. Are you referring to the first link (sportsnz.co.nz/crs) or the second (college-rifles.co.nz)? And is that the nav at the left or at the bottom that you're referring to?

It's really early in the morning... my mind is very fuzzy.

Quote: The only other thing that I will mention is the color of the links in the body text. They are a wee bit bland looking.

I was supposed to use red for that, but for some reason that I can't recall I went for a washed-out brown color (client might have said somehting about it being good). I think I'll switch it back to red again.

Thanks for the reply.

The first thing that popped out at me were the nav links at the bottom. They need to be a color other than black IMO. The little lines that are seperating the links are blue. Maybe blue and red on rollover?? Just a thought.

Nice work. I can tell you have put some thought into this one.

Heh, thanks for the reply, Jack.

If you want to compare the changes I made post-post , visit college-rifles.co.nz for the old version.

The only major differences you might notice are the nav, text-alignment and margin at the right.

I haven't seen the old nav colors, but I do like the current colors.
It think this site is a good example of how a website should be designed, except for the things you already (or should I say alReddy ) mentioned, the gray boxes, the logo etc.
Maybe try to get some more photo content from them, I think some photos will spice the site up a bit.

Overall: good job man!

Abhishek Reddy — Mon, 19 Aug 2002 14:19:04 +0000

Ok, I've added more space to the right. The layout should look a little more balanced.

If the logo looks out of place, don't worry. I'll get a new one and place it over the circular end.

Also changed the nav colors again. What do you think?

Quote: I also agree that more photos are needed - if not to make the page layout more interesting, at least to give the potential member a better idea of what this place is like. Maybe you could create a separate photo gallery off the facilities page. That way people wouldn't be forced to wait for the photos to download, but they would be there if someone wanted a closer look.

A gallery is exactly what I want to add... but my client is extremely reluctant. So far, all I've managed to get from him is 2 photos of the club itself.
