On a company website, always use white background, unless you want to sell some hellish stuff.

- Dont use all bold text.
- Its hard to understand your website if you dont allready know whats going on.
- Limit the width of the text on the homepage by using a table.
- Try to limit the lenght of the homepage
- Nobody is gonna read that long text

Hope this helps,

Malte

Just a few comments.

I would keep a conistent background throught the site. I see black, blue, and white...

I agree that the home page is physically too long. To fix that I recommend making the text and the buttons smaller. Everything seems really LARGE.

Your letters page is really confusing. The text is all over the place.

I would try to make your secondary pages have more consistency between eachother.

The links at the bottom of the pages...the color is a little too dark to read

But the site flows really well and I think it has a nice look to it.

Keep up the good work!

OK, what everybody else said for starts, although not so sure about the white background. Maybe a light pastel color???

Took the libery of viewin it in a 640x480 screen. Had to scroll sideways to view it all. That's not good. Downsize your link buttons and put everything into a table about 615-620 pixels wide. For uniformity, center the table on you page.

To add a little pizzazz, might consider creating some duplicate link graphics with different color text and use a mouseover rollover script.

On the main page, think I would lose the little SFR logo and just use it on the subpages. It could be put in the upper left corner with your existing topic headings along side and the nav bar underneath the logo. Does this make sense? It does to me!

Another thing I'd suggest is to reduce the color count on those buttons on the main page - each one is around 8 - 9k, and there's quite a bit of them. I have a 56k modem and it took a few minutes to load them all...

Other than that, I agree with most of the other suggestions as well so I won't bother repeating them

Good evening,

I would get rid of the repeated company information on the bottom of each page. You might think about putting a smaller graphic of the oil blob to one side and making the information stretch from one side of the page to the other. This would allow you to still have the information there but would give the illusion of more information one each page without being overbearing.

Also on the products page (and some of the others) you might want to give a real short description of each product instead of just the name. That way someone looking for a particular application would know where to look without clicking on each link.
