I find it be to slow to download (i am on dialup) and a little cluttered with parts of it hard to read.

The image at the very top right--IMO, that is too much text to cram in such a small space. It is hard to read.

The image that spans across the page with the clouds for the background is taking up too much real estate. The orange text with the white dropshadow is hard to read as well. Not enough contrast. Something less cluttered like you have on the other pages would be nice here.

hi,
i do think the design matches the content well.

i do disagree with some of the other comments about loading speed, i find it quite slow in mine, (im not on broadband though)

also the left nav bar is a little empty when you scroll down.

nice site... looks great on my browser!

The streaming thing is brill as well! i was expecting to have to wait for ages, but it shot down (and i'm on a naff connection!) I didnt have any of the probs i usually have with QuickTime / Real Media / Windows Media!

Nice one!

You need to preload your images if you want effective rollovers.

My Site has a preloading script.

The banner is WAY TOO BIG reduce the size of it.

There is too much white space to the right of the site and at the bottom as well.

Lastly, the top doesn't really look right, it's not balanced, there is a bunch of text on the right and just a small logo surrounded by a lot of "white" space.

Over all the site looks ok.

alot of white space on right side, on the home page, the news article titles arent hyperlink, the text is, thats odd. -Josh

Very professional site. However the logo sort of doesn't go with the look and feel of the rest of the site. Particularly the bottom part. Work on the header and you'll have a great site. Also the banner in the header is either in the wrong place or just too large. Maybe try rearranging it or reorganizing it a bit. Otherwise, job well done.

It loads pretty quickly becacuse the quality is determined by the bandwidth. It is encoded at 24, 44, 128, 256, 350, and 500 so we have all covered. We will look at the w3c validator. Thanks for your comments.

I like it!

Nice and clean layout. Only trouble is that every page takes acouple seconds to load because of the amount of images. The very bottom navigation could be split up a bit so there are spaces between the seperaters. Also maybe center the copyright image..it looks weird off to the right like it is.

Thats all I can think of right now. Great Site

Well I'll start positive: Nice Site! I like the colour scheme, and it's built in a good information-site style.
First problem: HTML is invalid! Go to the w3c validator to see the problems...Don't worry though it's all simple stuff, so won't take hours to sort

The only other downer I have on this site is the size of the banner, height is a bit large and needs to be cut-down IMO.
The tech you're selling is good though, although the Java is grinding a bit on my PC...I guess that's the price that must be paid to compile bytecode

Out of interest how long does the applet take to download over a 56k connection?

Hope this helps,
Jeeves
