    header menu

    Hello emma,

    Frankly when i got to live site, I thought logo and internet banking stuff were just some top section side of the page where you can turn of by closing(x) it but is not so. Maybe this is due to the strip orange that cuts across the page. I'll do some work on that (maybe get raid of it and find a way to make it appear more uniform with the other page elements).

    Secondly too, the main menus. Probably a drop down will do for this other than that i expect to see(on hover) the sub menu items(see http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ for example) so i know ahead what I'm dealing with before i get to the page(this is just my suggestion. anyway).

    Thirdly, the fund data graphs(pop up), there is no way as yet to an intermediate visitor to get back if he makes a selection and sees the graph. I had to hit the back button to have the previous list(since most users will associate back button to back page, this is certainly not recommended).

    Other than these three, the overall navigation looks okay and formality of the site is far better compared to old one.

    Good work.

    Brighter colour on Fund Data Graphs image

    Nice and clean website. The Fund Data Graphs image is a little grey compared to the other colour images on the page. This is a huge site to go through it in entirity.

    Would maybe be helpful to have a back button in the Sharia-Compliant Funds Page and Conventional Fund Page.

    But overall this looks like it's targetting market well and compares favourably to some UK banking websites such as Lloyds and Barclays. The navigation is nice and clear.

    full address box visible on Contact Page

    Hi there - this design is looking great. Good work with the material.

    Is it possible to maybe have larger images in the three boxes on the home page to take up some extra space if they aren't able to fill that space with links?

    Also on the Contact Page the top of the address box isn't visible - is this on purpose or because it wouldn't fit? I do really like your custom flag though on the google maps - it's a nice use of their logo.
