Hey guys,

Just popping this one up for a critique... The site is me killing two birds with one stone.. Putting together a fictional biography using a modern presentation media (for Uni) and building some CSS based designs and templates.

I'm fairly happy with this one, it's a nice simple and clean 'cutesy' feel.

I would like to know what you think of the design and layout ** The jpg's haven't been optimised yet **

You can let me know what you think of the content if you want, but it is fairly random draft at the moment.

Cheers,

Edit >> Thought it poignant to point out that I don't play with stuffed animals, just some gifts I have received from ex-girlfriends in the past (can't just throw them out can I? LOL, give them a back-story and have them fight crime I say)

Nice! I like the design and the way the navigation "grows off of" the main body. The color scheme fits well, and the title font looks neat too. Overall, it's a nice site... Simple, yet elegant. Great work!

Re: Russ & Pups

Thanks for the kind words SWagner.. I like the 'growing off of' effect too, sort of reminds me of some old table-based layouts I've seen.

Re: Russ & Pups

Yes. Now, I understand that you will work on the images, which I strongly recommend, since they are a bit grainy. But otherwise, as I said above, good job!

I see images in the screenshot, they didn't load for me though.
Strange! I like the layout though

Hmm, that's weird -- it is working even after a cache clear for me... can you try again?

Cheers

Re: Russ & Pups

The page would look better if the white container was rounded at the corners.
on the pages with not much content the footer comes up very high and looks slightly odd when moving from large pages to these smaller pages.

Just thought i would put some actual critique into the thread



v1ck.

Re: Russ & Pups

Re: Russ & Pups

Are you using a mac? It is dark orange in both FF and IE for me, they look a little different in each because it is a ridged border...

Re: Russ & Pups

Looks pinky in FF for me too. I'm on a PC.

I like the design. Couldn't be easier to navigate. Not 100% sure about the mid 90's feel coming from the border though. Especially where the borders sort of overlap and cause a funny looking corner.
Apart from that, cool.
