  • Sorry, the Boa has gotta GO! redesign

    Thanks for lookng and for the helpful suggestions, friendofpugs. (BTW, I see in your profile that you're from Aurora Illinois. I spent a fair amount of time in that area in my college days in Beloit Wisconsin and on a dig in southern Illinois).…

  • Sorry, the Boa has gotta GO! redesign

    More good suggestions. Thanks again. Not sure why I have the 2nd wrapper. Guess I needed it at one time, or thought I might. (Now it's just one more thing to clean up before we launch.) I already strongly proposed losing the blue text and why…

  • Site Recoding - Up to Standards Finally!

    If you don't mind reactions from a noobie... Professional, clean look. Good color palette. Good typography. Nice graphics in the header. But I find the scrolling to different image sets more distracting than attractive. 10 items in the nav a…

  • Portfolio needs critique

    The first thing I noticed is the misspelling of Alberta. Coming right after stating that you are detail oriented, this leaves a bad impression. Also, I agree that punctuation needs some attention. On the positive side, nice clean layout and better …

  • We're validated baby! Amongst many other things....Check it

    Nice. My very first reaction is that the cloud graphic and color scheme provide a very soothing and pleasant feel. I like the professional, finishing touch of the thin dark and light lines on the separator line on various pages. Also admire the subt…

  • Design Worksheets

    Maybe ask questions like: 1) What are your top 3 goals, in priority order, for your new (or redesigned) website? 2) If it's a redesign, ask "What do you like MOST about your current site?" and "What do you like LEAST about it?&…

  • Sorry, the Boa has gotta GO! redesign

    Thanks for taking the time to look and offer thoughtful comments, dcp. I agree that the design needs centering. I've tried the auto margin method (along with centering then left-aligning the rest to keep IE happy), but haven't gotten it …

  • faux column display problems (IE works, others don't)

    Thanks, apostrophe. To update the status a little: Since adding overflow: hidden; to the #content_wrap on my simplified test page worked, I eagerly replaced the text content with my real content, which consists of rows of image/text units. (I'…

  • faux column display problems (IE works, others don't)

    Thank you Chris, That did indeed let the background-image appear. However, it also introduced a gap between the bottom of the #content_wrap and the footer, noticeable because the graphic stops just above of the footer. I can get around this by app…

  • can't decipher validation errors

    Thanks Doc (and Rob), Yes, it did eiminate the other errors. What a relief! It was driving me nuts, and I didn't find the "explanations" from the W3C validator very illuminating. BTW, I'm glad I stumbled across this site. Not ju…
