Check my rearranged page?
I have slightly rearranged my pages to put the menu bar on the right, and got the corners rounded. Can a few of you bring this up on your screens and tell me if the tables and colors look right? I know sometimes various browsers, display settings, etc., can make things look different.
I know I'm going to get the obligatory comment about not using such a wide page, but with the tables generated by the searches, a narrow page setting makes the table cells tall and narrow (not pretty).
Thanks,
Kristen

KLWong,
I looked at your site in both IE (5.0) and Netscape (4.72).
The colors look fine in both and so does the layout. The rounded edges on the table, however, are really fuzzy and jaggy looking. Those need to be cleaned up.
With the three buttons off to the left, it is pushing the logo (title) off center and that feels off. The logo (title) should be centered on the page.

Thanks Brooke. I changed from .jpg corners to .gifs and although it looked pretty good on my screen before, it looks even better now.
Glad you checked Netscape, too, as my job is in a Microsoft shop where I only have Explorer. I try to only play around with table changes at home, where I can verify that they still work with Netscape!
The hex logo had been on the right, directly over the nav bar, so I reversed the page top to keep that relationship. Should be more what you're looking for.
Thanks again,
Kristen

Looks the same in both IE5 and NS 4.7 for me. But I agree that the graphics ar both really fuzzy and jagged along the edges...

Ahhhhh that is much better! Now the site feels centered. The rounded edges are better too - though they are still a little on the jaggy side.
Good job!

Ok fix those images and they'll worl great.
There is too much competeing text on the page. The main body just strikes me as a jumble of letters and words. Get rid of some of the color/bold/underline. Manybe just take the highlights of it. Not all the information. Condense, Condense!

Brian,
Your point is well-taken about the text on the opening page. I have had a lot of trouble explaining the concept of my site to others, and am trying to make it clear -- probably not too successfully, either! Probably have gone overboard with the explanations, so I'll revisit the content of that page ASAP.
Comments and suggestions are welcome from all!
Thanks,
Kristen

Looks better, but there's still room for improvement!

The logo has less artifacing now but the edges still have some smoothing out needed.

I would tighten up the text on the main page a bit. It seems to be intruding upon the turf of the gray table. Maybe shrink the width from 590 to 550 or so and possibly justify the text.
