View topic - Ecowatt Renewable Energy Consultants The ''link'' looks like normal text, unless rollover better if you put Link here >> Looks OK, but i'm no fan.

The first page is the most important page of a website, never ever drag, i tend to find that a small section for what you do and what ur about, what u supply, and a list of prices, even if there base. Split it up into section, its better for the eyes, easy to navigate and deffo will attract more people. In-line documents, always make sure the page is inline with the rest, yours is not as its not flush with the banner, it looks total poo. Its abit low on quality, goods, and in your face, you don’t want a boring website nor do you want one that flashes like a fair ground but looks neat, smart and attracts.. The best bit I can say is the contact form, as there a big big must.

A guide to element display and positioning with the CSS Box Model-Rachel Appel on Software Development Web developers tend to shy away from design & style and focus on the business logic, data structures, messaging, and systems development when dealing with web applications. Without a good grasp on positioning, which is often left to the designer, your websites can look very different between competing browsers, and downright ugly in some. Many native development platforms (XAML, Winforms, etc...) and tools implement the positioning of elements on screen as tables or grids. Tables also have been the de facto way to position DOM elements for a decade. Page layout with the Box Model and display attribute Browsers render Web page content using the Box Model, meaning that the display, position, margin, padding, and border attributes, combine to render each element as a box. Setting the display attribute affects the box model by determining whether or not elements render by their default display style or not - block or inline. Below is a compare and contrast of block and inline elements:

Make your navigation like Schiphol Airport – Clarity matters Web writers, interaction designers and information architects can learn a lot from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Like the airport, our work depends on good user experience and helping people find their way. Many website navigations offer too many choices. As a result, people get lost. Paul Mijksenaar and his team designed the wayfinding (navigation) at Schiphol to address the needs of the stressed traveler. Each sign provides just enough information so the traveler can decide the next step in the journey. According to Mijksenaar, a user friendly navigation has a big impact on customer satisfaction and trust. You can do the same when you create the navigation of your next website.
