Many thanks,

Personally i don't like the fact you haven't got left hand navigation. Nowadays it is a good idea to base any ecommerce store on certain standards for layout - this includes left hand nav, top left or right search box. Using these standards means it is easy for the majority of visitors to intuitively find their way round the site.

Couple of things which you may wish to look at:

1. the logo is not clickable - conventionally this take you home
2. a little bit of padding-right to the product images would not go amiss
3. search is best placed top right, bin the RSS feed to the footer

I would also rethink some of the web 2.0 style graphics you have implemented as they are not really working for me ... the reflected logo particularly stands out as does the semi-transparent icons for the main sections on the homepage - they could be better implemented IMHO.

I cant seem to get the rss feed to click/work

Plus i would def put in the left side bar for navigation. When your a few levels deep it would be good to be able to click to a whole new section straight away

You can only display the w3c logo if you actually comply:

clearly, you don't (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.euronetwork.co.uk%2F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.591) ;)

The act of lying about the page you're validating/viewing is frowned upon.

If there was a place to send cheaters, i'd send you there. :D

... what about having just the image and no link to the CSS validation - is that allowed???

[jont]

The act of lying about the page you're validating/viewing is frowned upon.

So you can't place a link on one page and have it validate another? ... regardless of whether the other page fails??

[gabrielcrowe]

you could, but only if the link expressly states that your validating another page.

[jont]

You any your rules - tut.

[gabrielcrowe]

its not rules, its about fairness.

:)

if i said my site was full of gold and medallions, and it wasnt, then you'd be pissed, right?

:D:D

Just placed a HRH crest as official supplier of v9.0.2 layouts to The Queen on my site.

Tidy.

[gabrielcrowe]

hahaha, now that, is acceptable.

What are you two on - i'll have a pint

[pinbrook]

Am i missing something here?

they are validating pressroom.html through the w3c link and pretending the whole site is valid?

why?

the sad thing is people who know what the w3c logo is for, will not be fooled, the people who would be fooled are those who don't know what it means.... own goal me thinks :)

[leehack]

Are you after me today Bumpsy, if so please declare proper war, i have just finished for the day and well in the mood to take you on if required?

[jont]

Yep - it is of no use on an e-commerce site ... they should only be used on coders / developers sites to show their prowess.

If a user does not know what it means they may well click on the link and see the error ... not so good.

[jont]

Are you after me today Bumpsy

I have a Brummie accent shouting "chase me, chase me" running through my head now ....

[leehack]
