Website Review

[TheCandyman]

I'm working on a new design layout so it's just one page currently and the links do go anywhere right now. I have worked on the color and layout quiet a bit and I can't see any other suggestions to make it better. Any suggestions?

- You might want to fix the small number of validation errors present:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://azda.org/pro/

They're probably to do with the upper-case "A".

- I don't like the huge delay for the rollover state on the top nav... It really shouldn't be as sluggish as it is (Fx 2/Win).

- The top nav is hosed in IE6 (it's far too big / wraps).

- I'd also change the font in the "full story" links... possibly make it slightly smaller?

Hope this helps,
Dan

There appears to be no alt text or labels for your input elements, contrary to Web Content Accessibility Recommendations.

The rollover for the top nav 'sticks'. When you mouseout from the menu, the last submenu list still shows. With the main nav item still highlighted, it erroneously gives the impression that you're on the featured page.

BillyRayPreachersSon, good suggestion on the smaller text. It does look much better. I fixed those quick html validation changes as well, as my html tidy plug-in didn't catch those. I had set the delay on the menu incase people wandered off the menu it would stay, so i changed the timing shorter so it feels much quicker.

The IE6, I played around with it and can't see what's messed up. If you see anything let me know.

Perhaps it is the line-height? Try removing the declaration for "#nav_top" and seeing if it goes away.

Also, in any browser, turning your font size up by 1 step ruins the nav, so you might want to work out a solution for that, as well.

Hope this helps,
Dan

On IE6, the AzDA logo is appearing on top of the sub-menu items (or rather, the sub menu items appear underneath the logo). I know you're working on that bit of the screen, so maybe it's a temporary thing.

Overall it looks pretty good. The only really stand-out issue for me is that weather forecast widget in the banner. Do people come to Arizona's dentists to find out what the weather's going to be like? I think they go elsewhere for that. It looks really tacky, get rid of it.

The Upcoming Events links in the footer behaves really oddly - as you mouseover the links, the little triangle to the left disappears, and there's a noticable delay before it reappears again. Is this deliberate? It looks weird.

I fixed the IE6 display issue, so it now displays correctly. That fixed the AzDA logo issue(ChrisHunt).

The weather was the only one i could find, and yes i don't like the looks. Basically when a dentist logs into this page it will show dental information and weather for their area. I would really like something like this:

http://www.wsbtv.com

I can do the images part but just need a webservice to return values for a zip code. Know of any?

Need more padding in the table that contains:

"Member Savings With - The Dental Record" data

Maybe make the table wider so 'read more' is on last line.

I like the basic design, I think it flows well. I look forward to testing it as it progresses.
