Renewing Our Website

[pritchardavid]

Hi guys


Been asked to renew our website

Our current website link is www.ockendon.thurrock.sch.uk

My website I am devloped so far is at www.freelancewebservices.org/schoolsite/index.html

What do you think of it so far?


I know I need to look agt the links page has this is too plain at the moment, I did look at putting a icon byside each link, but this didnt extually look right (and of course need to actually hyperlink the writing)

Before you say, I know the video does not work , has the script was script to run from where it was located with all my other website files on my memory stick, easy changed, but have not brothered has Im just asking you what you think of the website at the moment, this is not live for the school

Have been designing this on a full hd screen, so need to also looks how big the writing and pictures are on 1024 x 768 has thats the lowest resulotion I have gone for to fit on

In my opinion there's too much white.

Also what's the cancel box that comes up when you load links?

As above... I also think the header/logo pushes the actual content to far down the page.

I can't see why you have been asked to renew your existing site - it looks excellent to me.

umm, not sure why that box comes up, didnt actually do that locally on my computer, only when I put it on a web server

Looking good so far. I used to work at the Chafford Hundred Campus and heard good things about Ockendon School!
I like the white, going for the minimalist and clean look. It does however need a little more but like you said it's a work in progress but it's definitely better than the out dated existing site.

Have a look here for a little inspiration:

so far .. is it kinda messy with the " current " function.. but the rest is kinda nice

ok updated a little bit now, now hosted one of our servers at the school instead (iis), maybe make it be hosted internally when we change over to it, good or bad idea?
