'evening all,
this one's pretty simple: I've designed a website and I'm looking for some feedback. The company is "Relativity P/L" and has a few divisions, fourth-axis (CNC stuff), fluoroplastics (filled/isostatic PTFE stuff) and edge-lit-signage (self explanatory).
The front page is here: http://www.relati.com/ (fourth-axis is the only working subdivision).. or you can go straight to the http://www.fourth-axis.com/ website (addon machines for roland MDX-15, MDX-20 and PIX-30) here.

Comments and criticism on colour, style, font, layout, etc... anything, is welcome. I'd like to make these pages more attractive but obviously not bandwidth-heavy. Perhaps a starting point would be some rounded corners?

This was one of my ideas for a splash page... it's rather hopeless, and comment is welcome. I'm not sure I'd want to have it as the front page at all =P. Maybe I'll can the splash page idea.
http://www.fourth-axis.com/splash.php

DaveB has also mentioned that the orange right-sidebar attracts more attention than the blue left one, though it should be the other way round...

I realise the site is lacking a lot of content right now, but that'll change...

Anyone having browser issues? The latest bug I found was the a:hover/mousover change-of-background on the sidebar buttons caused the page to become permanantly mangled as soon as you touched them. In IE, of course, so I had to change that.

Let the denunciation and criticism begin! =) hehe

thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt

The splash screen seems to be borked in Opera (8.52, build 7721, win98, see attached screenshot) but apart from that it all looks pretty good to me! smile

Looks very good. IE7 beta 2 struggles with the first picture here Link2 it renders it in front of the text.

The spelling does not seem to follow Australian or British standard.

There are too many exclamation marks, only one should be visible at one time or they will visually beat each other to death.

yeah the site looks good, and the load times are great, good work!

However on some pages the images are overlapping the text (using IE):
1145300784 152 FT7803 Fourth Axis


edit- looks like I was beaten to it.

Steve, thanks for pointing out the borkage. I'll need to give something a position:relative; or something to fix that. :P

Part Scavenger & FastMHz, thanks, loading time was my first priority when designing this one.

Bjorn: TY very much indeed for pointing out the images-trampling-text problem in IE. I've fixed that by applying a position:relative; to all Ps and H1s to H6es. For the spelling and style, it's written for a primarily US market, hence color instead of colour, synthesize instead of synthesise, etc etc. You've definitely got a point about the exclamation marks; I'll talk to the boss about that one wink

Valuable feedback.. thanks again to all of you. Keep it coming ^^
