Thanks to all that have commented thus far in the thread Vast room for improvement.

The improved website may be viewed at http://www.visualguide.com.

What's been changed
* The previous 2 pages with 2 forced popups are now 1 page with an optional popup.
* Hopefully what's said is not repeated.
* The text is now on white, but the green and yellow are still there.
* There's far less 'overlib' popups.

What's still to do
* New logo will be there soon.
* Signing up and paying are not yet implemented.
* We've only tested for IE 800x600+, it does not yet support NS.

All your comments gratefully received. Thanks...

I just visited your website. I'm a new member here, so I didn't see your site before you made changes, but I think it looks very Professional! Its easy to navigate through and the content is well explained. Not too much, not too little. The mouse over effect is VERY COOL! Good luck on your success!

bksand and gyrbo,

Thank you for your kind comments. I have now edited my original post here to link to the original review request.

It would be great if some of you would look at the tour of my site and tell me if it works, how it looks, and whether I should do a shorter version using gif snapshots.

Thank you for your expertise and ideas...

the hover text of the tour say "a picture is mutch cleaner", but I don't think that picture doesn't come anywhere close to clean.

Gyrbo,

Ouch!

Can you say what's not clear about the picture, how it could be clearer. That would be very helpful.

Thanks for your input.

Very nice, much better without the pop-ups & once the new logo is there it will be very good. But make sure it stays at the top left of each page, as at the moment it travels down the left side depending on size of the page!

I only have IE but it works fine in most resolutions for it. Someone else will have to test it in NS when you've made it compatible for that.

webmistress,

Thanks.

Can you give me the names of 2 pages where you see the logo moving up and down, as I cannot see this on my screen? That would be very helpful.

Cheers. Hope the sunshine lasts Cool

On "Take the tour" it is half way down the page, just make sure that it is positioned at the top left on all pages to keep in uniformed.

It has actually turned cloudy now, hence the reason I'm here inside in front of my pc! Sad

webmistress,

Quote: On "Take the tour" it is half way down the page, just make sure that it is positioned at the top left on all pages to keep in uniformed.

Any ideas why it would be at the top on my computer, and not on yours? I looked at 800x600 and 1024x768. The logo is in a cell in a table that has no vertical alignment, all within a column that is vertically aligned - like on other pages.

Any suggestions welcomed.
