I’ve come up with a simple (and developing) idea for a new design at
my site, www.lws.cjb.cc/Lilypond <http://www.lws.cjb.cc/Lilypond>.
Regardless of whether or not the new design will be used, I would
greatly appreciate your feedback.
Greetings from a web professional,
It's a nice first step into a redesign. The concept is fairly nice and
shows quite a bit of thought.
1) I recommend making the "Home" "Introduction" etc. links plain
white. It's hard to read the special effect (and it requires images
which increases load time, unnecessarily in this case).
2) There's a little too much space in a number of places. Between the
header and the navigation, for instance. That seems a lot of
extraneous space.
3) I think that perhaps you're using too many different colors,
especially in the uses of headers.
4) The markup is very "old school." Your design could easily be
accomplished with fully compliant (X)HTML+CSS and be leaner and load
faster as a result. It would also be more appropriately elegant for
such an elegant program. (Granted the originally is equally "old school")
If there's any interest in this, I could take a look later this week
and bring your design into a standards compliant format and then post
for comments. (If there's any question of my qualifications to take
incredibly table-heavy code and translate it into (X)HTML+CSS, please
see http://www.bgsu.edu for the ugly table version and
http://www.bgsu.edu/music/ for my redesign with one table [that's
largely unnecessary, but for a few pages. I'm working on getting the
table out of there entirely, since there's no tabular data.]).
Cheers,
Bryan...
