Hi everyone & happy 2007!

I have made some substantial revisions to my website and would like an opinion or two on content, design/architecture and code.

www.USStrings.com


I think WMTalk.com is a great resource and I try to read through the suggestions, -- and act on them -- etc. as often as I can. (Just ask vangough!)

Thanks in advance for your comments,

My only problem was your navigation. I'm not sure what you should do with it, but that's the only thing that would deter me from buying. Although I think I'm going to try out some of em extra life black/red strings.

good site. optimised for SE.titles are good. The only thing I hate is navigation. The color is not matched with the body

Have to agree with Travel. Your first stop should always be W3C's HTML Validator.

Plus, why is there so much space in the code before the actual page begins? You're not fooling anyone with half a braincell into thinking you're doing it without code. Your page of about 48kb could be much smaller if you compacted your code.

The menu: is it organised to make sense to your visitors? Like should be with like. In a supermarket, you're not going to want to search for tinned beans inbetween the fresh carrots and cauliflower, will you? Not a criticism - I have no idea about strings, but always something to keep in mind.

Your menu text and background colour is very closely matched. I'd go for red text. And yellow is just not a favourite colour of mine...thus I am prejudiced to cry Yuck! Personally, I think the space between the options is too big.

You're making extensive use of .jpg images. I am billed per MB, so sites like that make me mad. Try .gif or .png - they result in much smaller files (png files are not always handled well in IE though, so I usually go for gif).

In general a nice looking site.
I would however agree that you need more contrast between your text and background for your navigation - remember not every one has perfect vision.
Other than that I like it.
