REVIEW REQUEST: 4 track

I like the general layout and I like the top part but the middle section looks lopsided with the right hand text part being wider than the left hand text part. (maybe I'm sitting at an odd angle today!) The blue links don't work for me, I' go for the red with a different colour and underline for hover and I think you need a bit more space above the bottom links.

Nice! I like the logo a lot. You could try to find a simpler piece of clip-art for it, but otherwise it's very nice. I think the clip-art that's there is a little complex for a logo. Or you could just simplify that piece by taking out some unneeded lines and such.

I would definitely do soemthing more interesting with the navbar. At least make those links bold to make them stand out more. Those photos could really use some help as well - try to fix the levels so they won't look so faded and link them to larger versions as well.

That looks awful fun.

One thing I noticed is the image at the top needs some contrast added. It looks a little dull.
Here is a compairison:

Original on the left. More contrast on the right. See how much brighter and fun the other looks.

IE6: I'm getting just a smidge of horizontal scroll in my 800x600 window. I'm not actually running at 800x600 so this could be just a problem with the "emulation" of 800x600. In fact, yeah - this board gives me the same thing.

Generally, I like it. Clean yet vibrant. Definitely grab the sharpened gif that d-m posted

I don't like default blue link colours generally and they really stick out on this site. Go with something that complements the orange like... err.. well blue does actually but maybe a different shade?

If I have to pick on anything else, I'd focus on the teeny tiny images. At high res, I really had to squint to figure out the top one.

It's pretty smart, I think.

One thing that worries me is eye flow. Your eyes are drawn to the images between the two columns and then you're not sure which of the two columns to read first. I'd like it better if one of the columns was obviously much wider than the other and one acted as a kind of "sidebar."

But it's cool...

Thanks everyone,

As for the clip art and color/contrast, what I have used is their colours, and the clipart is from their brochure. I agree it needs life pumped into it but am kinda stuck, might try tweek it a little thou. It's not actually meant to be red, more a dark orangey red

The little thumbnails will be replaced, am just waiting on photos to be sent from them, the brochure ones are really dark, and lightning them gave me what you see now. They will be linked to the gallery pages once I get the pics.

The Webmistress it's not you, the center section (text area) is different sizes, think it was 40% and 50% but have to change them as I was using 100% before the content.

I'll do what's mentioned thus far and hope to add some more of the pages soon.

If anyone is ever in New Zealand, check this place out, it is serious FUN.
[useless information] Zena and Herc were filmed around the area they ride, the beach they ride on was where they filmed "the piano" I think or next beach down.[/end useless info]

In the logo, the left border of the 4 is gray. I think if you made it black like the rest of it, then it would look much better. Also I agree that the navbar should be more interesting. Other than that, good work

Some of those pics top left are transparent, some arent, the one you've pointed out Zollet must be one I've missed, thanks.

Made some changes, added some pages (only content in home, faq and location) but all pages are there. Might have to rethink navigation as there is more pages than I thought

Unless anything is mentioned this will be it until I get some more pictures, time to tidy up another site I'm working on so can post for review.

I'm now getting a small horizontal scrollbar at 800*600

which page? what browser?
I get a small one too if the browser window isn't maximized.

All pages at 800*600 maximised on IE6

Looks like fun 2 me!!

we4c.com, the idea is that you comment on the website not the subject matter!

Julia, do you still get a scroll bar at 800x600 on any page? I tried on 6 browsers and can't get one

and Zollet, is that grey on the logo gone?

Yep I still get a scrollbar on all pages

Thats weird, its a fixed width table layout set to 760 or smaller
I guess I'll resize some stuff and go down to 750, Thanks

760 plus your page margins. Set those to 0 and you're ok.

Looks nice, maybe a little bit crammed up though.
