Thread: Published today

Hi. Just published my site today. www.outdooractivities_in_kent.co.uk
Any comments appreciated

Gordon

Your link is not working..............

Sorry it should be www.outdooractivities-in-kent.co.uk

Gordon

Yes, I only had a quick look and it looks really good! Good work!

You might need to look at your top nav buttons. You have to put your mouse on the edge of the button to click through. At first I thought they didn't work. (I am viewing in IE if that's useful)

Just a personal choice, but having music playing is not my thing, but hey thats me.

All the best

Not bad but as Daren said your buttons are messed up, it looks as if you added the button then added a text box on top of it. Thats not how the buttons work you change the text within the button properties. As for the music I see that it is part of the video, have the video start only on click. As it is now you really don't know it is there until you scroll down and miss part of it. You have a couple of broken links, the stagdays and the hen_do dont work. And you have your corporate page going off site, this should open in a different window so the user never leaves your site.

Wow what a site, very very busy, as has been said some buttons not working "hen" as an example.

Gordon,

You should reduce the pixels in your pics.

In the Tree Jumpers page on the right there are 3 pics 2 of them are about 80kb and the bottom pic is 1.3mb which is a ridiculous size. Even with my fast pc and internet connection it is loading a wee bit at a time.

You can go to support and download the PIXresizer which is free.

Is this another site like your Quadriding in Kent site? Are you looking for a different group of people, or you just wanted to build another web site.
Ditto what's been said above, your buttons and such. Good work!

Hi. Thanks for comments.
Your right about the buttons. I used a template from vodahost and could not find out how I should put text into it so put it over the top. Can you e4xplain how I should do it. I checked in the properties but not there. Or shall I add a link to the text?
Have changed the video.
The links work on my PC on the stag days & Hen Do but only when you click on the edge of the button.

I have the corporate set on blank as the target. What should I change it to?

Hi. Is very very busy good or bad??

Gordon

Hi,

Nice site with plenty of information, personally I would centre the text blocks either side of the 'Video' section, and for some reason I have a single letter 'r' showing up in blue in the second block of main copy text

Its a great start, but consider tweeking some of the layout slightly.

To change things in a template you will need a program like DreamWeaver, there are many threads on changing a template if you search for those POSTS.
Why not create your own page in BV? Its a simple design, you already have the contents you added and those button choices are available.

Hi. Thanks for all the comments. Points noted

Gordon

Hi, have to agree with the others on the pages looking to busy. You also need to change some of your images & not stretch an image to make it larger. Started to clean my glasses on this page IE: http://outdooractivities-in-kent.co....enteering.html.
Not sure why your not matching your sister site with style? Or is this a different business.

Good luck with the venture.

Great Site Mate
All The Best
