Neverside

here I go again...

I'd like comments on the following site: http://design.kiswa.com

The Comments and Services pages are not yet finished, but that should change within 24 hours or less. The Client Login takes you nowhere special, as I am not launching that until it is production-ready (besides which, you wouldn't be able to comment on it anyway unless I made a demo login or something [hmmm, that's not a bad idea...]).

Anyway, constructive criticism is appreciated.

1. I don't like the font used in the side nav bar and by the login - especially if it is going to be a professional website -- looks too childish.

2. In the Portfolio section, when you click on the "click for larger view", the larger view is still unreadable on most of them. Clicking on a "click for larger view", I would suspect to be able to make out the picture and/or words.

Just my 2 cents.

Fair enough..

1. I'm not sure a more 'professional' looking font would really flow with the 'semi-tropical' look though. Would you recommend any particular fonts to me?

2. I'm kinda embarassed about the portfolio images. I've been meaning to change the size of the preview images. And for the 'larger' images... I realized that I uploaded the wrong images folder! Thanks for pointing that out to me. I just have to go home and find those larger images now...err, after work that is.

I'm glad to hear the only criticisms are for things that can be easily changed (and only a couple of things too!).

Okay, I updated the images in the portfolio. The larger view is actually larger by a fair bit, and the thumbnail view is a bit larger as well.

I also changed the styling so the images don't get underlined like the rest of the links do (hadn't noticed it before).

The image replacement for the header doesn't work in Safari.

Ummm... crap. Any idea what the problem is? What's not working about it exactly? I want to fix it!

Okay, I'm pretty sure I fixed it! I used an online tool to see how it looks, so if you want to double-check it for me, I'd appreciate it.

Anything else I should/could do to make the site better anyone? I'd still like some font recommendations if you could rberry.

No more comments? At all? How about content-based comments?

If not, expect to see the client area up for commenting within the week.
