Redesign of the left navigator

Hi Umar,

This looks really good. Very nice design setup, it's easy to tell what the site is about and there seems to be a lot of content.

The naviagation in text instead of images will help with SEO because there is more weight placed on keywordds if they are linked (I think - someone can correct me if I'm wrong). That navbar looks good. I like the way you've used bright colours to make the key items stand out.

One thing I think could be improved on this site is the logo. It is a good logo but it looks kind of squished, like it shoud be wider. It would also be good if the polling station blended in to the design better. As it is it sort of looks like an ad because the design is so different. Also ad some padding to the table with the latest news and articles so things aren't so crammed together.

Good job overall!

okay i try my best to improve the week point but it may take some time, cause i am not the only person handling this site i must give suggestion to my other fellows, then it would be..........

I like the looks of your site. I like the choice of colors for the font. I understand what Megan means about the logo but it looks to me like the squished lettering is part of the design.
Best, Nicci

so you "ldylion214" like the logo

I like the layout and design of the site, everything a user could need seems to be right on the front page and viewable without scrolling too much. I like the color scheme too, nice and varied to make it interesting enough to hold the eye. I'm partial to black on websites too for some reason.

I'd suggest to make the logo in the upper left clickable elsewhere throughout the site to take people back to the home page. Most sites do this now I'm told so I guess people will expect it, besides it being a little more convenient it couldn't hurt. I'd also suggest popping your links page to it's own window and keeping your page up in the background. I would also somehow group the elements in the right column that are part of your site together, seperate from the ads, like bounded in a box with a different background color. This would serve to visually seperate the items with useful content from the chaff of ads.

Good job on the sitemap too. Nice site.

Navigation loads painfully slow, and I am on 7 meg. DSL. You gain just as much in keywords with images, as you do with text. You just make sure you fill out your "alt" tags, which validation requires anyway.

bgogol there is a content HOME to back user to home page i think you did'nt see that, well now i mentioned, one more thing, which are the element in right column are grouped i think every thing is seperated from the one another in right column..

hello i have now replaced the navigator with Text navigator from the images..i hope this is better one

Hmm, the navigation bar isnt looking right in my browser. I'm using Firefox.

Have you used Layers in the navigation bar?

Apart from that i really like the design. Looks very professional.

Dosen't look well in IE6 either. There are overlaps, and some blank spaces.I'll see if I can give you a screen shot.

hold the CTRL Key and scroll the mouse roll i hope it will get adjust, how to solve this problem please help me to do this

I don't know how to tell you to solve this problem. But it definitely has to do with all those   non breaking spaces, you have used. When I held cltr, and scrolled the mouse it cleared it up BUT!.

You need to use style, or php or anything else to make that nav panel. I don't think, you are going to have any luck this way.

luck i dont believe in this word, well i will solve this with in a couple of days...thanks steve

I found your problem!. Something on your page, is causing the browser to change text size. That's why it fixes when you hold ctrl, and scroll. My validator ragged me about TD nesting, and no TD closing tags. And one Javascript that it said you could not use, in the place you have it - in a TD.

Other than those minor bugs, I don't know how that is happening - but it is.

i have'nt use any java script in the nav.php and the problem about TD let me check it again....

hello steve i have fix the problem very much, now it does'nt move from his place. I done it very hardly....if there is any problem please do tell me

hmm i think i am the good web master ?????????? right

If a good webmaster is measured by a willingness to spend time on fixing website problems and successfully fixing them, then yes, you are.
