The modifications that you have made make the site look much better.

It appears that we share area’s of concern for example the clarity of the links; I think that perhaps having them under the header?!

The plain and simple footer I feel gives much clarity to the bottom of the page.

Keep up the good work.

Because your going for the clean feel with the TERMS molding into the content, you really need to continue this throughout the banner to give it off effectively<br/><br/>Your website really has improved alot from the older one. Making the tweek I mentioned and a few other subtle design choices would vastly improve the overall look of your site.

Your website really has improved alot from the older one. Making the tweek I mentioned and a few other subtle design choices would vastly improve the overall look of your site.

The change to a sans-serif typeface has made a real improvement to the site and gives it a much cleaner look.

One thing to note is that the validation for the feedback form doesn’t work for the email address.

It might be useful in the actual presentation if you have something to hold such as a queue card and hold it with 2 hands so you physically can’t play with your hair.

Failing that perhaps do something with your fringe for that day (hair spray it back or to the side)?

I think you have taken a lot of feedback into consideration and fixed most the problems i personaly found.

The layout of your site is easy to understand and the colour and font is easy to read.

The timed task looked fun this week and i am glad you all finished.
I have also notised you are getting a lot better at timed tasks as the first one you diddn’t have time to get up and ask Steve what he thorght of your design and you did this week making it an overall improovment.

Thanks, Martyn

I feel I made good use of the time we had, since I got a suitable design in the bag and then got some feedback from Steve and made quite a few tweaks to it. I think I spent more time tweaking the design than I did creating it!<br/><br/>I’m not sure why there is no spacer between the first and second image as it only does that in Internet Explorer, and I’m still trying to working out why. I think I’ll have to take your idea and use a sans serif font throughout. Thanks for the feedback. I do agree with you Tom, about using all the time that’s available.

Keeping your navigation in a simple list at the top is a really good idea. However, I bet you knew a ‘however’ was coming.<br/><br/>However, it would look visually better if you stuck to a sans serif font throughout the design.

As I said in the testing on Monday, I think a footer to the site will finish it off really nicely- glad you've chosen to do one soon.<br/><br/>For the timed tasks, it seems everyone's getting carried away with the idea of finishing really early. While it's obviously good to finish with plenty of time spare, I also think that the time left over can be used to make final tweaks to the final product. The time is there to be used, after all.
