And it begins....

www.akettleoffish.co.uk

Duncan hasn't yet managed to get my "Under construction" warnings up on it yet buuut it's starting to come together! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!

There's a lot ... A LOT of tweeking required (ie the screen whizzing through all the screens at once annoys me... I just wanted the next "slide" to appear when you clicked on the relevant tab) and plenty of other nigly bits.... buuuut it's up!

What do you think of it so far?! Any advice?! I've a feeling there will be a fair bit as you guys don't know what it will end up finally... but YAY!

Very funky website Clare

I quite like the way it whizzes through everything

Looks fab hunny

The bottom line of news is slightly cut off on my screen though and when I tried to go from contact back to home the slidey bit got stuck

Excellent

I like that, very nice. I think the only thing I would try is to see if it looks better centered rather than to the left. Hmm, also I'm a bit undecided on the body text font. The one for news, and on the home page. Its a bit rigid. You've got 2 fonts really and it feels a bit jumpy. I'm guessing its because the rigid font is reading text from a file so its easy to update where as the other is created in Flash so harder to do. Also, a bit technical, but I would ask him to sort the source code so it uses a more accessible Flash script. Theres some funky things you can do with that. Something like SWF Object. Basically you can hide content in there. So if someone / something doesn't have Flash it'll see that content instead. You can put in a block of text for search engines for example, full of keywords.

Looks great Pheebs!

Belmit · 26-01-2008, 13:24

Looks great! I couldn't tell because of the style and feel of the page, but are some of the spelling mistakes intentional? e.g. frollicks=frolics?

Blackstar · 26-01-2008, 13:27

I like it hundreds!

Pheebs · 26-01-2008, 13:42

Oops at the spelling!

It will be centered eventually (Poor Duncan has a huge long lists of "To dos" from me - and all prioritised) and the text should become proper text boxes (if you know what I mean) as opposed to jpegs and things. It's just to give me an idea of how it's getting on! As for the text... they should have matched... but they don't

Not sure what happened there - will have to ask him and see what happens

Pete - I think I get you - though I will copy and paste your post to him just incase

There's soooooooo much more needing to be done to it... but I am chuffed to pieces that it's finally see-able if you know what I mean

YAYYAYYAYAYAYAYY!
