Just put this site www.theemeraldbay.com together for a condominium association on a fantastic island in South Florida.
Target audience: the property/unit owners.
Still have to tie a few loose ends.

Appreciate your comments.
Thanks all.

Hi Bill,

Nice Hat..lol. I like the site simple but effective. all links seem to work fine and loading fine on IE. I did notice that the ocean village at the top right has an overlap ..like two images pasted together. That's all.

Hi Beeez !!! how was it with the hurricanes?

Thanks for the comment, what page was the overlap on?

Glad to hear you're ok, last one hit Central America pretty hard.
I'm working on the logo, thank you. : -)

No problem...I hope the folks hit by felix are OK..that was a bad one.

Bee pointed out the "overlap" in the header (I imagine you built it as an image/background maybe 1200 wide??).

Speaking about working yet on the logo......ever think to use the Logomaker as Text Only with a transparent background with the green image pulled in tight to use as both a logo and within the header are for greater definition?

A nice clean site, functional (although I would suggest at least using even the simple contact form mentioned in Forms Tutorial #1 rather than depend on the Outlook action of "mailto:"), and crisply laid out.

I know the purpose, but shouldn't there be a bit more descriptive content, something to chew on from any perspective? Just wondering....

Great Site, Sir! Do I get a cigar now?

LOL

Very Nice And Very Comfortable Site.

Hi Bill, nice easy/clean site to follow.
Will have my usual whinge on the images! lol. 10080Kg is a bit large for just the 6 images on the front page.

Good luck.

I think he did use an oversized image to mimic a background, Chris.....that's why is appears that way when you do your analyticals on images.....

I think you done a fantastic job Bill. It's easy to move around, and looks good. Some day when I grow up, I hope to be as good as all you upper ranks!

bill2006 · #13 09-05-2007, 10:56 PM

Thank you all, appreciate the comments.

Vasili and Chris: The background is a template and part of a photo I took last month. I changed the Contact page to a more "formal" look and I'll be working on the logo next, finally received a B&W copy.
Passing cigars around. Macanudo or Fuentes ok?

Cool...be looking forward to the first series of endless tweaks.

Macanudo.......Wow! Thank you, Sir!

Hi Bill,

Looks good, nice & clean, all the pictures came up quickly, looks like a real nice spot. Good job!

Collectors-info · #16 09-06-2007, 07:49 AM

Hi Bill, the background part is perfect at 19kb. It was just the 6 thumbnail that added up to 10080kb.

Cheers.

Patience · #17 09-07-2007, 01:56 AM

Crisp and clean...looks gorgeous to me, Sir! Excellent functionality. (Is that a word?)

LadyEye · #18 09-07-2007, 02:07 AM

Nice Bill, I really like a bg design blending in to the page like that, nice design ... really nice looking blog too ...

top marks for you tea-man!!

Thank you Patience and thanks LadyEye. It really is an island paradise.

Chris, I see what you mean. But if I reduce the thumbnails wont I also reduce the size of the enlarged photo in LightBox ?

Collectors-info · #20 09-07-2007, 07:25 AM

Hi, Yes unfortunately one of the down sides with this version of the light box that it makes the thumbnail the same size the same in kb's as the larger image.
