As a developer, I sometimes have trouble seeing what's wrong with my own sites because I know where everything is. The Star Party just ended but I want to make sure I improve it and make sure it has all of the information in an easy to find way for next year. The online registration is disabled so that part won't work. Thanks! -------------------- Smoky Mountain Stargaze Post Extras:       llanitedave Humble Megalomaniac Reged: 09/26/05 Posts: 10475 Loc: Amargosa Valley, NV, USA Re: Star Party Website - Critique [Re: uday]       #2315615 - 04/09/08 03:18 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   uday, I really like the format and the way you've arranged the tabs and menus. The content is well organized, and there's a surprising amount of it. I'm personally not a big fan of the white lettering on black background (although it's fine for my star chart), but I had no difficulty reading the material. Others may feel differently. All in all, it's a very nicely done site, and very comfortable to browse through. -------------------- "S.O.E."

I was a little skeptical about the black background, as well and I think I may add some user-defined style sheets so people can choose the color scheme. That way, anyone who has difficulty reading anything can switch to black on white instead of white on black. -------------------- Smoky Mountain Stargaze Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 0 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
