    The Blue Sub-Nav Congestion

    Posted on Sep 11, 2010 at 10:49 AM

    I love simplistic design; even more so for mobile. But the best thing about simplistic design, is that it doesn't draw away from the content/purpose.

    I think the header and menu are very nice. Typography is fresh and the whitespace is comfortable.

    The "subnav" (for lack of a better term), is much too congested for my liking. Perhaps some icons and using the blue as a rollover rather than the off state. It's just too much blue.

    Blog looks great.

      Thanks. I'm interested to know, did you view the site on a mobile phone at all?

    too busy. instead of using these horizontal bands, i would simply use links on top- News | Weather | Transport and so on.. it will save u some real estate..

      Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure that you actually visited the site, or understood the purpose of the site. It is optimised for mobile phones. Since phones have a small screen, and unpredictable width, a single column concertina is a perfectly sensible solution for nested links, n'est pas?

    the images posted here don't do your site justice. you really need to view it on a mobile device. It looks fantastic on my Droid - it's clear, easy to read, easy to navigate and loads quickly. I'm not sure how I could improve it, but wanted to give you kudos.

    content formatting

    Posted on Sep 15, 2010 at 5:33 AM

    Great! Works nicely on my iPhone but I'd like to be greeted with a welcome or some sort of introductory paragraph at least, I don't get what I'm looking at until i do a bit of browsing

    It would be nice to format your content a little better just to make it look nicer, as it comes over a bit plain but for its purpose it works

      thankyou. i will consider this. its kinda what the about page is for. the goal is not to obstruct the user from the data, which a splash or greeting might do

    make another site for desktop visits

    Posted on Sep 23, 2010 at 11:26 AM

    First of all, very nice job on the site, looks great on the Iphone! I personally love simplistic designs and this one is really straight to the point and simple to navigate.

    Just a few things, on the Iphone i get a blue border at the bottom of all the buttons of the top menu. Also i don't think you have to give the current menu item a blue border when selected, keep the top menu styled like the rest of the site.

    Also since the site doesn't look that great on a desktop computer, maybe it would be an idea to keep them both separate from each other and give the desktop computer visits a different styling.
