Please look at my site and tell me what you think. - 2nd time around
Your comments were very helpful last time. Some liked our graphics but some couldn't understand what we are offering.
Does it make sense to you?
What would you change?
Thank you....

- I would use a plain grey bg
- I like the dropping img idea but I would use a more professional img.
- yellow button does not fit in, try red.
- use mouseovers

Well after reading the main text I knew it was software/books on how to learn Microsoft Office (I think I'm right). Overall it's a very plain/basic site, and could use a little more color. I also don't see any point in the image falling from the top of the page. Actually, I don't see any use for the image at all, but if you like it then keep it. The menu bar could be a little more graphikey (is that a word?) with more color. I like the logo and background though.

Thanks for your sixpence worth!
I'll try the plain grey and see how it looks.
Have you seen any really good image that shows a frustrated user?
I think by mouseovers you mean that the button would react when the mouse passes over it. Don't I need to have actual graphic buttons for this? (I've been trying to survive with a table with coloured cells)
Please keep the feedback coming.

Why are you trying to survive without images? I would use images, cause they look better then tables. I can say that you did an excelent job of creating button like things with your tables. I would also move the main text closer to the side menu bar.

kidjustino - thank you.
"software/books on how to learn Microsoft Office" is almost what we offer but not quite it.
Thnaks for the suggestion about color.
The image dropping is to add a touch of humour. It aims to identify with our target markets frustration with computers, and the movement is meant to create a surprise.
The menu bar is just a table and would benefit from some sort of hover button tree. I am scared to do stuff that won't work well in both browsers (although one can already say that about my tables anyway). Any suggestions?
About the logo and background, thanks.

You can have mouseover tables as well (IE only though).

Thanks for that. I have tried doing it with DHTML in FrontPage 2000 and it works great.
Like you say though it doesn't work in Netsape. What surprises me about this is that it's not just the mouseover that doesn't work, it's the entire page that refuses to display in Netscape 4.5. The page loads because I can view its source - just nothing displays!
Was that what you meant or have I done something stupid? I would need to solve this to apply the mouseovers.

Sorry everyone...
I just removed the dhtml and found I still cannot access that page in netscape. I then checked an older version and see it's a problem with the page.
Sorry about the [red]herring[/red]!
