Works fine for me in Safari with Flash 9 and not in FF3 with Flash 9.

I really like it, more than the current one.

Ok, i think i am almost done !

Anyone got any suggestions before i go live? ie, do you think there is enough content, rearrange the icons order at the top, stuff like that?

OK, here goes. Please don't think I'm ripping your site apart.

Flash, and music. Grr. That's all I'll say. You've made your choice and it's your site.
You seem to have two 'About Me' type sections. One under 'Mondo' and another under 'Info / Me'. Is there a reason for the separation? Would these be better either combined or put under the same menu?
The first paragraph under 'Info / Pricing' doesn't make sense. Could you re-word it please.
The text in the various sections (e.g. 'Mondo' and 'Info') isn't particularly easy to read for me. I don't know if it's because I like to run my system with larger fonts (something I can't do on a Flash site), or whether it's a problem with the font and/or layout (line spacing).
The shopping cart icon almost bumps into the picture frame on the homepage. Seems to be OK elsewhere.
The text in the shopping cart itself is tiny.

Hope this helps and isn't too overwhelming.

Thanks Mark

Point 1 - can't do anything about being a Flash site

, music can be turned off.
2 ..... the mondo one is a joke, i am going to take it off i think, or call it something else
3. I will

4. made slightly bigger now
5. I think that's fine, it doesn't overlap, i could make it invisible though if need be
6. Don't think i can change the size of the font in the shopping cart though.

2) OK - I didn't read much. Just saw the 'About Me' heading. Don't mind what you call it but it's a little odd that there's two seemingly unrelated pages 'about' you right now.

4) Bigger font hasn't helped much, sorry for suggesting that. It may simply be because I'm tired. I'll try again tomorrow.

6) That's a pity. Worth asking the creators of the software? If they're US-based, you could try waving the words 'Section 508' at them. That should put the fear of god into them.

They are US based, i could ask them about slightly bigger font.

thou i am not too bothered about the shopping cart, i doubt many people will buy prints off it from some random on the net, it's very unlikely !

Mark · 22-08-2008, 16:58

Yeah - it's working - except that the music has vanished.
