My website designed with WD11

[link removed because test site has been removed]

I have not made this site live yet because there are some problems.

I created the site on one page using layers. The colored circles mouse over or click (for the mobile variant) to go to the different layers. But I have found that frequently one of the images on the main site gets stuck and then the site either stops working or the image does not go away even when the layer is changed.

And the JotForm is not working very well. I might have to switch to a different form.

Anyway, your feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Yeh, not working at all well in Chrome.
Layers are not closing, objects loading on top of each other and the close button for the form is over the contact info button.

Thanks Steve. Not ready for prime time then.

Gary, some of your coloured circles' bounds overlap the pop-ups so the experience is dependent on where the user's pointer is.
I think the bounds of the coloured circles need to be extended horizontally so they touch as the pop-ups close in-between so you instinctively stop to see what's about to happen.
As the bounds of the pop-ups is not the full width of the page, I would show some transition boundary as, again, the backdrop not only closes the layer it reverts to the landing page if clicked.

Gary, your Web Design layer does not close automatically - it has a Close button.

Gary, the Facebook sdk.js is coming up with a couple of errors but it ought not to be interfering with the site itself.

Acorn - Thanks - The Web Design layer needed a close button because visitors can click the colored circles to visit the actual websites.

All and all, it was an interesting experiment but I think I can do better. There were too many design compromises. My current website is simpler and works better.

As always, an amazing website, Gary. I had some trouble with the menu buttons and had to refresh the page, but all in all it was a pleasant experience. Your design abilities are unsurpassed IMHO.

Ron - Thanks. I'm going to delete the link then the site because there were some major problems which I never resolved. I will post when I have something new.
