Hi, Could you please "rate" my website. Any suggestions, likes, dislikes, comments etc would be much appreciated. www.uwd.org.uk/newsite Regards, Mike

Painfully slow to load. The Free PC Help image at the bottom "jumps" the first time your mouse riolls over it In the News block on the right the first news item is not top aligned with the date icon. The "Click for Home" tooltip on the header is a little obtrusive. Suggest using a standard tooltip. The grey text on the white background could stand to be a little darker. It might look fine on your monitor, but on my monitor it looks too light - especially the links at the bottom. Other than that, it has a pretty clean design. Michael J

I'll second on the design, actually it's a very nice one. Very web 2.0-ish :D --- Fubar

Hi, All suggestions taken on board. Will do an update in the morning. =] The site seems pretty fast to me, however i am on 4mb. The slowness will mainly be due to the "rounded box’s". These don’t use images at all, instead use JavaScript to draw them out. I'll have a re-think and see if i can get it to load any faster. Any other comments/suggestion are welcome... Regards, Mike

I'm not sure if JavaScript for the rounded corner is slowing it that much, but if we use CSS it'll be faster. http://www.spiffycorners.com/ --- Fubar

i would like to add my 2 cents worth :-) - i really like the layout but it needs tweaking - i would suggest a different rollover colour scheme for your menu at top to differentiate it from an active link + white text on grey background is hard to read ... for me anyway - i really don't like the red underline rollover effect on your links ... underlined blue (same colour as link) would be great - the APRIL 07 2007 does not fully display for me ... bottom third of 2007 is missing ... i am using firefox as my browser - in your client login section, make the font the same size as that of your page ... it looks bigger ... your password ***** is too long ... make it around 6 - your code has a lot of white spaces and these make your page bigger than it needs to be and hence longer to download ... white spaces include blank lines as i mentioned, i really like the look but it needs tweaking :-) on the plus side, your code seems to be HTML valid according to HTML TIDY ... i know because i have it running as an add-on with my browser hope this helps serge Mental Workout Target the right Keywords FREE SEO Report

It's pretty, and I like how there's no crap (cookies, flash, etc.) It was slow to load for me also, but I'm in Tennessee and you're in England. Here's my opinion though. I've always found the xhtml and css validator links a bit pretentious. Anyone who knows about such things knows how to load a web address into the W3C validator site, and no one else cares. I used to proudly display those links on my sites, but it turned out that they detracted from the content and others (non-techies) found it annoying. I realize you're advertising web design services, but again, those who know (and care)about such things don't need the link. Oh, and in Firefox, the text fields on the top right extend (to the right) outside the colored area. Nice work!
