Web Site?

[mr_alberta]

Alrighty, I have a prototype webpage up. None of the buttons work, but you get the idea of what it will look like.

Tell me what you think:
http://members.shaw.ca/harvwong/Edmo...f%20Community/

I haven't done HTML for a while, so no laughing at the code. Also, I had a brain freeze trying to figure out a banner, so if anyone could help me out, that would be great.

Anyone? No one?

Like the buttons VERY much

The calendar is great

For the logo and masthead, could you see if you have any other fish pics and try them? Would like to see the "Edmonton & Area Reef Community" either centred in the space with fish pics on far left and far right sides, or else a larger and longer fish pic on the left and the "Edmonton & Area Reef Community" more to the right. You can scrounge pics from my website if you find anything you like: http://www.lostmymarblz.com/pastaquaria.htm

Would like to see everything centred on the page instead of to the left.

"News & Updates" should be all one colour and font.

The bar below "News & Updates" should be the same colour as the background and would look better flush left.

Other than those quibbly details, it's a fine effort

Thanks Bev!

Anyone else want to knit pick?

[mr_alberta]

Oh, forgot to ask, which font do you prefer on the "News & Updates." The thicker font or the thin font? Also, what color would you like to see it?

[Beverly]

I'd like to see "News & Updates" the colour of "News" but in the font of "Updates".

Ok, I've made a few changes to the site. Please tell me what you think. Also, I really think we need a new banner/logo. I'm just not liking what I am seeing up there bannerwise. So, if anyone would like to help design a logo/banner with me, please let me know.

If no one has any major objections to the web page, I will go ahead and finish off the rest. I'm still fiddling around with some of the scripts I plan to use, so what you see now is not 100% finished (i.e. the community events aren't up yet).

Like the green colour of brain in the banner and the green colour in the body of the page, but the background colour doesn't quite compliment the green. Background colour of the banner looks good with the mouse-over buttons, though. Or maybe it's the bright blue of "News & Updates" that doesn't fit with the colour scheme and the green brain and background are good. Maybe if you used a dark green/blue from the buttons for the "News & Updates" and "Edmonton & Area Reef Community", the colours would be better. Confusing, huh?

Also, I think the banner is a little too tall. Oh, bad me.....

Beth started the project. I wonder what she has to say. IMO, keep going, man

[mr_alberta]

Hi Bev,

Thanks for the input. I think I'll have to reread your post another couple of times to get what you're saying

Where is that Beth??

Keep the comments coming!

The title should be moved up a little, it is too low in the page.

I like the buttons, but contrasting with tthe background of the title area it looks far to dark, it is a lot for the eyes to adjust to. You can just lighten up the picture you have used a bit =)

Love the calendar, but it looks drab in comparison, a nice blue would spice it up, but still keep it low key.

Need a larger space between the NEWS and the & and the Updates, it looks smooshy.

We are Canadian, gosh darnit, lets put a maple leaf on there some where! I am feeling all patriotic today :P

I would increase the size of the news font. make sure that it is at least a 1.2 space. Preferable 1.5. it will make it much easier to read when we actually have something to say =)

You did an awesome job, put me to shame!!!!

The question is now, do we want to leave it on free web space, or put it up somewhere that more than one of us can access/update?
