New web site design

Hey everyone!

I have make some critical changes to my website and I need some opinions B) Take a look: Greece Airways Va :rolleyes: Any suggestions will be more than welcome. Thanks in advance!

Note: To view it fully functional I suggest you to use FireFox/Opera ;)

You've given the link to a locally hosted site, not one on a web server. Have you uploaded the site to a web server?

No worries. I'll give my honest opinion on what I can see.

You mention that to have full functionality, you need to use Firefox/ Opera. This is a very bad thing for any website as most people have their favourite browsers, and if a website is not working with their browser they will simply find one that does. Having said that, I was using Chrome, and couldn't spot any obvious cross browser issues.

Regards the layout of your home page, I think it looks very busy and cramped. If it was me I would give the separate parts of the page some space (with use of padding and margins). Maybe even take some of the info off and create new dedicated pages for that info. There doesn't seem to be much to distinguish one area of info from the other too, in terms of styling.

You have some javascript on the live flights page, the snow flakes bit, not sure why you would want that there? I like the styling on the flights board though, it looks cool.

Nice job so far overall, just a few things I would do differently if it was my site. B)

Thanks for your feedback stuart! Well the problems are not in site actual functionality but in CSS... I think every developer understand what is it :D

You see visible snowflakes ? This is not possible (i think) The code for this is commented so these snowflakes appear only at Christmas, to give the site a more (lets say) happy environment.

The Live flights takes direct data from IVAO files and it is very very difficult to take a developers approval from them to make it available to others.

No I noticed the js was commented out, I just wondered what it was doing there. My personal opinion is that stuff like that detracts from a site, as it's pretty cheesy, but maybe I'm an old grouch ;)

What problems are you having with the CSS? Have you tried making use of a CSS reset? This can help when trying to get a uniform look across browsers:

Well, the problems are some CSS shadows around the NavBar and the main <div>. And it is only happening in IE9 (Only this I have :D).

I tried FF/Opera/Chrome since my 1st post and it seems to work but never is enough... The css reset now. I have to read about it more, time ago I did it but no big success.

Thanks!

Well I don't really remember but something like:

/* Code by 'dimitris' phpvms http://greeceairwaysva.com/fss/index.php  */
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px #000;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px #000;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px #000;

Will work...

Note a lot of attention with this because it will work one time but maybe not the other, some changes will lead you to the best result cool.gif

Your live flights board seems to be spitting out an error

[b]Warning[/b]:  file() [[url="http://greeceairwaysva.com/online/function.file"]function.file[/url]]: Couldn't resolve host name in [b]/home/greeceai/public_html/online/board.php[/b] on line [b]81[/b]

[b]Warning[/b]:  file(http://nl1.www.ivao.aero/whazzup.txt) [[url="http://greeceairwaysva.com/online/function.file"]function.file[/url]]: failed to open stream: operation failed in [b]/home/greeceai/public_html/online/board.php[/b] on line [b]81[/b]

[b]Warning[/b]:  Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [b]/home/greeceai/public_html/online/board.php[/b] on line [b]83
[/b]

You may want to fix that. But it looks good. Also try putting the name of the VA in the banner.

The Live Flights board, above it when the page is loaded, the board shows, but bellow those errors.

Just saw it... I can't really do anything about it... It is getting data live from IVAO's whazzup files/servers so when a server is down it is showing these errors dry.gif
