Great looking site !! ****
Only one thing caught me. Going to the blog page takes you away from Freya's site and disables the back-button in Google Chrome.
Perhaps the Blog page should open in a new window? Just a thought.
... thanks, and you are quite right about the blog; that arrangement is not the final solution - I have a page set up with an iframe to access the blog, but haven't got it working yet.Quote:

Hi Cristofa
Totally agree with Tao Jones, this is truly excellent, only thing I would have done is made sure no scrolling was required to view the whole page.
great

... thanks for the compliment, Kash - re size, it's really difficult to know where to draw the line. Statcounter on another site I have puts 1280x1024 as the most popular screen res nowadays. In making Freya's site fit 1024x800 I supposed it would be OK for most visitors - trouble is, that's not taking all that stuff on top of the browser into account.
Where do you all pitch the site size issue?
One of the standard Windows screen sizes would be 1024x768 which was how many being sold 2 years ago came configured. I assume that many being sold with a 4:3 aspect ratio monitor are still that way.
To target that screen size you may want to limit the width to 955 pixels which will allow for a scrollbar on the right. If you want a page to display without that scrollbar you could limit the height to about 600 to allow for a fair size browser menu and toolbar area.
... hmm - 600 really doesn't give you a lot of room to avoid scrolling.
Then there's another factor - most computers now (including laptops) are sold with widescreen monitors - a polular res is 1600x1024 - great, lots of space for a big website, but I suspect most people run their browser in a window that's not the width of the screen (like I do).
OK, then you make everything tiny to make sure it all fits and, along the way, exclude all those without microscopic vision - I can't believe how some web designers expect normal folk to read the minute type on their websites.
And then, of course, a lot of visitors to your website will be browsing the internet on a smartphone?!
... it's all very complicated :(

Hi cristofa
I was actually thinking of monitor resolution when I made my post and in thinking more about it you are probably right, but still would be a great site if no scrolling was needed, but as has been said, we live in a non-standard world when it comes to resolutions. Still a good website.
