Hello,

I was wondering if I could have a site check on atozsupplement4u.com I know
that some of the tables are not currently 100% filled, but I want to know
what everyone thinks of the site.

Thanks,

Shane

IE6 -- 800x600 -- 17"screen -- text-->'Medium'
========================================

Looks OK, although the fixed-width design requires horizontal scrolling
once the text size is increased.

However:
(a) Ensure that all <IMG> tags contain a suitable alternative text
entry; this can be "" in some circumstances.
(b) Use the <TITLE> to indicate the page content to those not using
visual browsers
(c) Provide a way to bypass the menu and allow the users of non-visual
browsers to go directly to the main content of the page
(d) Put an appropriate <!doctype> at the beginning of your code and
validate it.

Some people may not like the advertising pop-up on entry, although
personally I don't have a problem with this. It might be best to include
the advertisement as part of the opening page.

......... just some initial thoughts.

regards.

Dum-de-dum... sorry, dial up..... taking a few seconds to load the top
graphic, but as the main meat of the page could be viewed whilst I was
waiting it's up to you to decide if that's a problem or not, - oh, and it
needs an alt attribute on the <img tag

Navigation:

Possible alphabetically your links on the left, there's a lot of them or
you could group them, have 3 or 4 sub-headings and split them up that way...

Top buttons, very nice, though links to those pages some other way than
via that graphic would be good - at the bottom perhaps

"info" Info about what? if there's info I need, why isn't it on the home
page? Just a thought 'other info' perhaps, but then that would mess up the
look... :-(

Customer Feedback page

There are the links on the right, and a space on the left, where I
assume the feedback would appear, but a new page loads instead, little odd -
and again, that top graphic takes ages. Oh, and on this page the blue on the
links-menu on the right doesn't go all the way to the bottom, just a glitch
somewhere.

All the pages are html as far as I can tell from the links etc. with all
that data possible worth learning a technology that can intereact with
databases such as asp or php, would make things simpler but could increase
the cost of your hosting a little, though there are some good deals
available nowadays :-)

Anyway, looks ok to me, nice and blue :-) Needs some tweaking here and
there but almost groovy. Maybe just having the two colours is a little stark
though.... not sure, personal thing. A little cold, but that can be +ve
or -ve as necessary...

ooo - essential fatty acids page, personally I would never start a list
with "other".... Anyway, you've got all that space cos of your long list of
links, so why not spread out your data, make a bullet point list - makes
more sense syntactically rather than a table...

The stripy background is jumping for me, which is a little distracting,
but bear in mind I am fairly tired and I've got a headache at the moment

Just my 2 pennys worth :-)

Amy... off to sleep the sleep of the programmed-out
