Title: new site for a small factory

I think I will redesign it as it's too messy since too many people got involved in "consulting" me how to do it...  :-)

...since too many people got involved in "consulting" me

 :-D *LOL*

I noticed a few things:

- If possible, try to Vectorize the logo (not the header) to get rid of the annoying white border. If you can't then try to "Matte" the border with no color.
- (bug from the standard form mod) the font style in the textarea of your form isn't correct
- When clicking on FAQ the alignment of the menu jumps a little to the right. (Firefox)
- Since you have submenu's at some point I was lost where I was. Hint: SM2 Breadcrumbs
- Personally, I would delete the name of the images in the Brax Highslide Gallery
- Overall, edit the css styles of the different mods so that they are nicely intergrated into your site. (example faq mod)

What I really like is the setup of the pages e.g.: Applications-Bulletin issues

So in all it looks like hell on earth just went by but they're all tiny points which is can be done within a few hours.

Hope you don't see this as a "consulting"  :-P

I appreciate your comment.

I should delete the FAQ page they don't need it anymore.
The white border around the logo is an export bug I always keep saying to myself I should fix it, but since you've mentioned it it's about time I do it :-)
Breadcrumbs will surely be useful it slipped my mind thanks for mentioning.
The Applications and the Products are all confused (they even confuse me) because they couldn't make up their mind about the flow of things. They took the material from another site so some files are pdf I converted into swf, some are text... I know the site is messy but at my defense I can say I did the best I can for the price they paid  :roll:

Overall *a bit Off Topic* I also do sites like this: www.artstudioboris. com - it's completely hand coded flash. So it all depends on the client and his "mood"  :mrgreen:

Ok the website is redone (the CEO has changed and rehired me again to change the old one which I finished only a month ago lol)...  http://polyflex-polymers.com/ (http://polyflex-polymers.com/) The flash slideshow is hand coded using greensock classes.

Looking good now - I would consider changing the width of the main copy on the homepage; the paragraph seems very wide to me and that makes it harder to read. Maybe you could split it it two columns?

The old site was narrower the person specifically asked to create a wide website. Personally I like narrow website better.

On Safari 4.05 on OSX the menu stays underneath the flash banner, so note accessible. Probably to solve with z-index? On FireFox and Chrome on OSX everything looks fine.

Greetings!
