Would I be able to get some feedback on my current development.

I'm not a fan of how the breadcrumb is at the very top of the site then the main navigation is so far down the page.Quote:

Ignore the breadcrumb thats a test at the mo.
Our current website is managed externally and running on jshop and offers no way of customising it ourself.
Also the navigation is terrible on our current website. Compared to the new one its a lot easier to get to where you want to go.

@DSapseid I dont know if its just me but IMO the scrolling images move way too fast. I was trying to read the text and about 3 words in, it went to the next picture.Quote:

Harsh, but you're right - it is a fail.Quote:

Even if IE is all you use in-school, making a website compatible for other browsers is absolutely essential, the only exception I'd understand is for an intranet, where it's only viewed within the building and so the only *necessary* browser is the one you primarily use and support internally.Quote:

While that's high, it's only half of everyone who visits. That means it's essential for me to ensure that our website is viewable on as many browsers as possible.
The time that the most visits occur are around 8am and 6pm.
We only use IE within school, too, but it's a severe oversight to limit yourself just to it because you "don't support" others internally. Your potential customers are likely to be put off if they can't even access your website for information. Considering that pupils = money, that should be something to consider indeed.
