Looks very nice! I'd tell your client that sites using the drop-down menus usually have a severe lack space problem. It's never as nice as actually seeing all the navigation choices if you have room, IMO.

I pretty much agree with everything else that's been said - if you could add some more color to the inner pages, perhaps under the nav bar or on the page header, that would make the page stand out much more.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I've had content flowing in all day via email and will probably get working on this in earnest next week. For those that found it slow - hopefully that is just the unoptimized graphics talking and not my liberal use of tables.

That navigation is a really messy Imagestyler-generated table but the only way I could keep the thing NN4 compatible.

This is my last NN4-friendly site - Enough is enough!

Very nice work! I particularly like your unique navigation.

I agree that the darker background works well with the blue but I think it's the white on the inner pages that doesn't work so well and loses the umph of the first page. Where do they want a drop down menu and why? It looks good as it is, although a little slow loading.

Nice

I disagree, I think that the grey on that page is what helps to add the level of sophistication. It's the combination of the sedated gry with the bright blue and oranges that makes this layout really interesting.

Me thinks a lighter colored background would look better.

Nice work taff as usual.

I agree that start page is good (little slow to load thou).
I think the inseide pages could come alive with content and pictures as you mention but also agree the navigation needs to be lighter and/or bigger. Could you make the cello more brown?
The links at the bottom (text ones) I'm a little unsure about, seems you've used the visited link color for the link, and link color for the mouse over. it's making me think if i've been to those pages or not. you also might want to add a link to the top of the page.

nice work, keep it up

Megan,

Yeah, I'm finding the interior a little "dry" also. I'm hoping that this is due to lack of content and that the photos and images enroute will provide some life. Otherwise I might take your advice and try adding some of those warmer colours to the scheme itself.

I've just been thrown some revisions to the structure which might allow me a little more freedom for spacing in the navigation cello (not a violin ) - we'll see if that helps.

Exactly my experience with dropdown menus also!
