(i might have to start giving him deadlines for housework and such... it seems to work! hehe!)

I cannot believe how quickly he's done it all! I insinuated first week in March thinking that would be really tight but he's done it by the 1st of March!! Blimey gov!

I think perhaps giving him deadlines on washing hand-wash items might be a good idea

Thank you so much for putting up with him slaving away for me! I owe you muchly!

Just thought I'd let everyone know quickly that the demo should now work in IE6 and 7. Mental note: header('Content-type:text/xml');

:/

LOL

One minor thing with the gallery. The left/right scrolling of the pictures doesn't feel natural to me. Normally when scrolling if I click to the left the content scrolls right, and if I click right it scrolls left. Scrolling that way around could also be used to remove the gap between blocks of images - though I don't know if there's some implementation reason why that can't be done.

Pheebs · 01-03-2008, 23:32

Heh same goes Mark... and then I started wondering whether I was backwards!

Just looked at it again and I'm beaming

Jasper · 02-03-2008, 01:50

I'm a little confused at what you mean - you click left, the content scrolls right and then goes back or it scrolls like it's on a conveyor belt and the new content comes from the left as well? The current way it works seems most natural to me so you'll have to explain it slowly!

Davey_Pitch · 02-03-2008, 03:07

I think what Mark means is that when you click the right arrow to scroll through the gallery, he's expecting the new images to come from the right, not the current ones scroll there and the new ones to come in from the left. Now that he's pointed it out, I see what he means as well.

My one concern is that with a large resolution (1440*900) there's an awful lot of white space around the main part. Maybe consider changing the background white to something a little softer?

Mark · 02-03-2008, 06:59

Davey has it right, and fair point about the whitespace too (I use that same resolution).

Also, given the nature of the site I think it needs a more obvious copyright notice, and if Pheebs has trademark sorted then that too.

Jasper · 02-03-2008, 14:34

Yeah, the copyright is coming.

Not sure I really agree about the white space. When you consider the colour scheme for the rest of the site, I don't think a colour that isn't white would work. If pheebs has an idea for something more appropriate than white then it's easy to change, but I can't think of anything that would work in its place.

I've got strict instructions on how the gallery slider thing is going to work - not sure that's how I'd have done it as the arrows imply the direction things are going to go, but it's not my website

Pheebs · 02-03-2008, 18:23

lol @ strict instructions!

*puts away whip*

That's how I thought it would be (the drawings I sent you anyhoo) but then I began to doubt myself and think I was being backwards! You'll probably change it and I will be like "huh? It worked better t'other way!"

Hoping my list made sense (I didn't half garble on it!)

Wow! Looks great guys - well done Jasper good work!
