Website frontpage - graphics/layout created in XaraX

[Oystein]

I am working on at site for a customer (agriculture) and just published the frontpage, so they have something to look at tomorrow. All graphics are created in XaraX.

On the main picture is the background, the barn and the trees traced to give some more life.

At this moment I haven´t sliced the picture (one big 35kb thing), because i am not 100% satisfied (the horse - and perhaps to many animals?) - that will be changed later.

They wanted a fancy menu, and I think this one will do. The menu is not linked yet. When I tested the menu online (not offline), I felt i hang a bit. If someone feel the same - I would be glad.

The adress is

In fact, I would be glad if the menu works fine...

Seemed fine to me, using IE5.5.

Very fun site.

The buttons did not work when I clicked them. Well that is not true, the buttons worked but the secondary text was not all the same size and the first secondary text disappears.

(small stuff) Cool design.

Menu works great for me (IE6). Did you write the code for the menu? It is a great one! I've looked at a lot of J-script menus, and yours is the first one I've seen kick out the text and bring the next level in. I'd like to se the rest of the site when it's done. The barn yard picture was good, but yes, you could get rid of a few animals and make it a little less "busy". The main thing is, do your clients like it?

I could just sit here for hours just playing around with it! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

The rest of the site looks great too!

Hi and thanks for positive comments.

The menu is created with at Dreamweaver extension - and is very easy to use. You (I haven´t done it yet) can also open the menu from a link inside a webpage! When you have created the buttons - it just take some seconds to create the raw-menu. The address is http://www.projectseven.com. You can include other pictures, links, submenus inside the menu - infact, perhaps a whole website if the machinery can handel it! You have to pay $89 and need Dreamveaver 3 or later (check). There is no trial. If you buy it - you must read the tutorial (easy). Xara, Dreamweaver and this extension is suberb together.

The custumer have accepted this layout. They wanted an farm with animals. I will perhaps create a flashfile instead of the bitmap and give some live. I will post when finished.
