design and implement limited

We've just migrated our site to CATALYST2 and wondered if people have any views about our site?

Simple and too the point!

Would suggest that the enquires link does not open a new window!

Your background colour isn't specified. You're assuming it's white when not all clients (such as mine) have white as a background colour. You might like to either include a statement in the <body> tag (or css if you decide to use it), or include an alpha channel in your graphic.

Thanks JoeWass - I've fixed the Background

Not sure what you mean about the Enquiries bit - I though this link should start an e-mail program

It does open your e-mail program.

Maybe Jason likes forms? I don't know.

It does start a new email message - not a problem there

What happens when your on the links page though is it opens a new browser window as well. This doesn't seam to happen on any of the other pages.

Strange really as it only does it Moz for me, not IE or FF

You're right mozilla does it.

It's because he has

Code:

<base target="_blank">

So he does! I had had a quick look to see if he had it in his link. So:

jdb_hollybank: add ' target="_self" ' to your link at your sorted.

Cheers for the tips - I've sorted this

Hi

The site has been migrated into Joomla (a Content Management System).

Any additional comments?

You probably want to remove the 'powered by joomla' and 'advertising' sections. Maybe the footer too, but I'm not exactly sure if that's allowed.

jdb_hollybank · 15-10-2005, 09:29 AM

Yep - aim to include some "proper" ad ideally google adsense but can't get it working at the moment.

For now taken down the banner adverts - easy with a CMS
