Could you have not seperated on different pages as it makes the first page busy and it just scrolls forever!!

the tabs indicate different pages and then it just jumps to a preset location half a mile from the top and then scroll all the way back up again to do it again....

you get the jist...

Cheers for looking.

there is a 'Back to Navigation' on the right that can take you back or just use the tabs that remain at the top!

Yip, tighter and skimpier leotards for the women, and more close up shots of the hot birds in them.

Apart from that fine, although could do with a bit of brightening up, all the black is a tad oppressive.

Yes, needs separate pages really. Having to download in the entire site in one go is not really desirable.

Otherwise nice look and feel.

Our school colours are Black and Red which is why the website is those colours. Any ideas of how to brighten up a bit while keeping with our colours?

I like the idea of the navigation i am just not sure if it works well. Also I don't like the fixed header but obviously you need that to use the navigation system.

I orignally thought that the home page was really long until I clicked on the Nav.

edited to add: the video doesn't go behing the header and it looks silly as the rest of the pages do.

We quite like the scrolling effect, does it not all need to be on one page in order to do this?

Oh, i quite like the fixed header with the rest of the page scrolling etc! Personal preference i suppose?


I just want to know that it's all clear for someone looking for performing arts classes etc!


Thanks again for comments.

Yea just my preference As for clarity it seems fine - If you want classes you can click "classes" so it's perfectly fine as a site- I was just being picky - One thing i would try and sort out is to get that video to go behind the header. It's bugging me

When you scroll down the two youtube videos dont scroll behind the header like the images and text. The videos scroll over the top of the header while the text and images go behind it.

Really? It does not do that on mine! I'm using Safari on a Mac.

People don't like scrolling

You don't need to scroll, all pages are accessible via the tabs on the header.

[Venom]

[Slate99]

Welcome to the awful world of website development... Everything has to work on all differnt browsers running on all the different Operating systems. I will look at your code and see if I can spot anything. Did you make the site or did you get it made by a company?
