Looks good, Sean,
One thing, some of the text fonts that you've used show up distorted (pixelated) on my browser (MS IE). You might want to test that.

Looks good Sean -- Nice and easy to find options and I like the blueprint background idea.
The local weather insert looks as though it could use some work though:![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/wink.gif)
Today: Hi 68, Lo -2
Tomorrow: Hi 72, Lo 55
Next day: Hi 9999, Lo -9999

Looks good. You should add the link to your profile here.
I agree with Ed about some of the text being distorted. I'm also using IE.
When opening up your "email us" link a security warning pops that Comet Cursor would like to be installed. While there is some controversy as to whether Comet Cursor is spyware or not I'm not in favor of web sites trying to convince me to install software on my system.
I'm not being critical of you, just providing some feedback. I thing you did an excellent job!

Re: Just take a look at this - 12/14/02 08:53 PM
Sean,
The text font that you have used is called "Haettenschweiler" and it looks real bad on IE.
Two recommended fonts for websites are Verdana or Arial.

Ok, I set home page fonts to arial black (bold, italic) Please tell there are no error fonts!! I appreciate the assistance.
I dont understand why it looked ok in my IE, anyway, tell me whatcha think. Ill set rest of pages if this looks ok. Tell me if everything looks lined up well, no overlaps etc. http://www.lonestarelectric.com/Index.html

Looks like a very handsome page.
Agreed that except for titles and headers, non-bold type would be easier to read. Tahoma is a nice, plain typeface, too.

Re: Just take a look at this - 12/15/02 07:01 AM
You wont believe this but I designed it in 2 evenings with some free software I found on the web!! Of course I had to register the website name. I changed fonts to arial black (bold, italic) Is that too hard to read still? Please let me know, I would like a presentable website. You guys are great for helping me I will put a link to ECN soon as i figure out how to do that!!!

I'm still seeing some pixelation on the text as well (AOL browser, which is basically just customized IE).
I agree with the others about an e-mail link that wants people to download/install software to work. Dump it -- It will just annoy people!

Re: Just take a look at this - 12/15/02 05:46 PM
which page are you getting this prompt to download? feedback or contact us?
Re: Just take a look at this - 12/15/02 06:42 PM
Sean
I stopped getting the download prompt yesterday and tried today and don't get it on any pages.
You still need to change the text in the feedback page. The main part of the page is fine but the text in the white window (Please tell us..., Your Name, Email, Comments, Etc.) is hard to read. It looks like you have fixed most of the text issues though.
Another thing I noticed on your "Email us" page is that you can place your pointer anywhere over the top email button to open a new mail message but on the bottom the first half of the button does not work.

Re: Just take a look at this - 12/15/02 08:27 PM
