REVIEW REQUEST: www.surefoundation.ca

Hi Sandra,

Your site looks really nice except for a few little quirks that I am getting in Opera 6.0 NS 4.79.

The message scroller is causing a horizontal scroll in NS an it doesn't show at all in Opera.

In NS there is a little line in the two text boxes on the right under the scroller. Looks like it may be part of your menubackground...not sure. if you need screen shots just let me know.

I would put more white space between the content and the horizontal rule on the News page. The footer text and your logo look out of place all jammed up there with the content of the page. Same with the Photos page.

Since all you have are graphical links, I believe I would add text links at the bottom of each page too.

At first, I liked the fonts you were using for the title logo at the top and for the capital letters in the menu. Now I am thinking that the capital letters are just a wee bit big. And the cursive in the title logo along with that font for the capital letters don't seem to fit together very well. Also, the cursive looks a bit scrunched up. Hard to read.

One last thing. I think I would add a break in between "Web site, code, and graphics © Ardnes Design 2001" and your little logo thingy.

Other than those couple of things i think you have done a great job at putting this site together.

Hi...
First I'll be picky (correct me if I'm wrong) Shouldn't "Product" be "products" in the nav bar...
I like the layout and colour scheme the colours work well together and give it a proffesional feel...
On the right hand side you have 3 boxes starting with appearances... Why is this box empty? What's it going to have in it... Is it going to show your next appearance or scroll all your appearances?
Viewing the gustbook it is a totally different colour scheme? you can edit the code for it so that it matches your main sites colour scheme (just took a peep at the source code)
Other than that I like the site...

Have to agree that you need more space betwen the characters in your Logo. It just looks way too tight and makes it a bit difficul to read and there is definitely room for that graphic to be wider.

Even if you had only 1 item for sale I agree that the link should read "Products", not "Product" and in any case you have more than 1 item available si I would change that.

I love the burgundy color (am trying to incorporate a similar shade in a site I'm working on). Very warm.

Overall impression is professional looking site which is well organized.

Good job.

The problem I have with the logo is that the first letter characters look entirely out of place next to the scripted words. I think if those capitals were italicized as well the words would flow a lot better. (make sure the slants are the same for both fonts!).

I also think that the font you've used for the navigation items and headers should be changed - that serif just doesn't look right. It's a bad idea to use two different fonts from the same family in one design (ie. two different serifs, or two different scripts), so I think that's why it's not looking right. The capital font is also a serif but is significantly different in shape from the font you've used for the rest of the text. Have you tried using a sans-serif for those at all? I don't think that would look right either though...

I really like that cutout effect you have going there. That looks really nice. I also really like the colour scheme a lot.

Hey! They play in Dresden, ON! That's where I bought my car! And Blenheim! Chatham - that's my hometown! Cool You might want to put a year on this calendar just so people know that they're looking at this year's listings. There are so many outdated web pages out there that some people may be conditioned to wonder if something's recent or not. Another thing you should add, on the Products page, is information on where to buy these CD's.

yeah, very nice stuff really, looks good, professional, keep it up.

Fancy having a look at my none finished page?

I am using IE 6, and I think it looks great.

One thing I see, it seems the letters on the logo, are a little close together. Otherwise, it looks fine.
