Opinions Needed

I am trying out a different way of structuring my website. I would like comments positive or negative :D
---------------------------------

www.piftails.com

The above link nearly complete i'm trying to place an animation of the cat herd in the top right panel. I know it is excessively purple but I love purple :)

---------------------------------

The below links are barely started but any comments on the colours are welcome :)

www.declawing.co.uk

www.whyneuter.com

www.lostmycat.com

PS. You can move between sites using the Home button on the menu.

I love purple too. :) The worst sites are the ones where you can't read the text because of the colours, but this is certainly readable. What a lovely picture of George and Tigs!

Placing the animation in the top right panel is a great idea! Do you intend to make it the same width as in the left side?

I love that you're doing the "Declawing page"! :D

I'd let the title bar align with the rest. ;)

Copyright is spelled wrong.

The last link under "Read more" in white is difficult to see.

That's all for now. Hope you can use my inputs. :)

Which programme are you using?

I really like the navigation menus, what language/tools did you use to develop them? *my hobby is web design, although my homepage at the moment stinks lol* The purple is awesome, rather easy on the eyes to me anyhow. The way you laid out the frame colors and such is a good idea (making the frames a brighter shade of the background color), it really makes the page distinctive and the frames dont get "lost" *that really annoys me* I like how the frames resize with the browser window, so things don't get cut off.

All in all, really awesome site

And the kitties are cute too :)

I'm being dim which bit needs aligning ?

I have made the other changes.

On my screen the three columns are 25% 50% 25% so the left and right are equal width...Are you on a 14" screen ?

I am using dreamweaver, poorly ;)

The menu system is adapted free ware from brothercake his site is http://www.udm4.com/

PIF, I've just had a look at your site on John's machine with a 22 inch screen, the width is perfect there. :) So it must be my browser. :( I have a 17 inch screen.

I have never used Dreamweaver, but it's supposed to be one of the best programmes. You're doing quite well so far. :) Just take your time. ;) We have GoLive and Frontpage on our machines.

Looks great! :) I love the colors.

Those pictures of George and Tigs are amazing! I didn't know he got so big all the sudden.

I also have a 17 inch screen and the header on the HOME page appears narrower than the body and the right margin appears narrower - so it must be the screen size. The alternate pages, however - are in perfect balance on my screen:rolleyes: I don't like the color on the declaw site - so drab! Could it perhaps be shades of rose, teal or aqua? (picky picky!!):D
All in all, the site is easy to navigate and very nice!! Loads of information and I have already used it several times as a reference to people for the lost cat poster.

I wasn't keen on the declawing colours either.

What I did was choose three shades of purple I liked for the main page and them I used the photoshop colour wheel to get the same hues in difference colours.

But the red option (declawing) is dull and I was thing the Green one (Neuter) is a bit bright.

Mmm I'll look into the size problem :)

PIF, I've linked to your site and I think it's very nice. I personally like the softer look and the less cluttered look. It's so much more usable. I hate accessing sites that are jammed packed or have very dark backgrounds or (the worse) both.

By the way, I really wish I had known about your "how to deal with a lost/stray cat" last winter. Luckily, the little stray was adopted in a furever home, but your advice would have helped at the time.

Some notes:

On your home page under Forum:

"Any person can poster in this section without registering or logging in"

Do you mean "post in this section"?


On your home page under Eighth Cat Herd Member:

Sweet Annie, an grey America stray will be...

Do you mean "a grey American stray"?


That's it...I'm not much on web site design, mostly proofreading. I have a coworker who is a champ at graphics, so tomorrow or next week I'll ask her to give a professional opinion!

Thanks AbbyMom, I have corrected those mistakes.

I would love a professional opinion but it is only a basic site :)

I love the color scheme, it is really looks great!

George and Tigs looks so sweet, amazing how much Tigs has grown!

I know what you mean...Here for those who missed the picture here is George with a baby Tigs

I think it looks really good! I like all the color choices because they are very easy on the eye and all the info is to get to. I really like it! Great job and I love the kitty pictures!http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/o...es/biggrin.gif

I *think* I have cracked the sizing problem. :D

Could someone check the main screen www.piftails.com with a 17" screen or smaller and tell me if it looks alright.

I have limited the width to 800 pixels so people with big sceen will get white border and smaller screens won't :)

Everything is now all lined up and even - but I have to scroll back and forth to see it all. My monitor is 17 inch and my display properties are set at 800x600. I viewed the code source and see that the table is indeed set at 800 pixels width.
Here is what I think is going on: the jpgs in the center are 457 pixels wide (slightly more than the allotted 50% ratio) - thus pushing the limits of the center table.
