Thread: Something different?

This is my first attempt at designing a website but with Blue Voda I found it fairly easy. I think the site is in an advanced draft state and there's still a number of small issues. Any comments on the general look, feel and layout will be appreciated. Thanx

Nice looking site, but keep your navigation buttons continuous throughout every page.

Include a button for every page, no matter what page you are on.

In other words, having a home page link on your home page, a product link on the product page etc. It may seem silly to have a link to a page you are already on but if you don't do this you get your navigation butons jumping all over the place, as yours do, and this takes away from the flow of the site.

For first attempt though... well done excellent!

Nice looking site looks good well done and I do agree with Ramsey about the menu links keep it uniformed on all pages good luck.

Wow.........Love your design and colours. I agree with Ramsey about the nav buttons though. A couple of times I automatically clicked on the top button to go to home page.
One other small thought....Most users out there will know to click on the photos to get a larger image but the chances are there will be some that don't know or don't think to do it. Maybe you could tell them especially on the accessories page as the image of the nudge (Aus = bull) bars could almost be one photo.
Congrats on a fantastic design would not have thought that vehicle accessories could be shown off so well.

Nice site! Well organized and easy to get around in. I just saw a couple things.

Contact Us Page: Apex Headquaters - Pretoria (Headquarters is spelled wrong).

Home Page: Select a vehicle drop box: Mishibusi (Mitsubishi is spelled wrong).

Nice site. Great colors and pictures. Agree with Marnicky.

Also, re-size your pictures. On your gallery page, the thumbnail pictures
are about 75X75 pix but the original from which it is loaded is 376X217. Although you have covered the pictures on the home page with a transparent overlay...........I suspect that the sizing problem is the same.

Re-size the pictures and it will load much nicer.

Nice job.

Great job for the first time!! Ditto what's been said already, the main dark blue back ground is quite a large file, you could resize it and speed up the load time. Keep up the good work!!

Hi, main image is bogging the page down on 1st visit. But it is 1619.91kb & should be looking at a 2-400kb page in total.
