site opinions

its for a competition, so far only home and solutions work. the topic is that youre making a webstei for a company called 'presentations on demand', and they specialize in video crapbooking and that stuff. i need to add flash to the top banner, but other than that its weird. im having trouble deciphering their requirements, but i think i did an ok job

requirements:

1. Introduction to Web site using Flash or Flash type animation.
2. Company Overview to include a Mission Statement, Company Services, New Products, Company History, Staff, and one other element found in a company Web site.
3. Customer service information
4. Client list and portfolio of presentations (March of Dimes and FBLA-PBL, Inc. are two clients). Include links, site map, FAQ's, pricing and/or rates, and contact us.

suggestions or anything?

Sounds like they want a Flash splash page - not a banner. Otherwise, looks pretty good so far.

EDIT: are they providing the images?

thanks.

i took it as a banner thingy. maybe ill take out the stuff on the index page and put the flash animation there.

nope they didnt provide anything. just the guidlines.

that was it

You're using an editor, most likely from the graphical side.

You get docked points for that from me.

2/10 because of it, but since it actually looks half decent, I'll give you 6/10.

im using dreamweaver, and then ill be adding in the PHP sections by hand. they dont take that into account though. they mostly judge on content and then design. 75/25, judging from getting 3rd place last year, the site looked pretty bad though, but had good content.

why is using an editor a problem?

Just as long as your're not using Frontpage, I think it's cool. I hate websites that say "Web page designed to be viewed in IE 6 at 1520x1120 resolution"

frontpage..yeck

i dont understand what some people have against WSIWYG editors though. i fyou like doing it by hand thats cool...personally i think tables and such are much easier in an editor. it is afterall, the usability that counts

Frontpage rules. I wish people would stop using it wrong.

I've seen your work, maybe you should look into one.
