Ed, how so as I found it easy to navigate and easy to use? I thought

and so say all of us Sacha friends and family, great site and very
tempting. I cant have any more plants as we are hoping to be moving to
Scotland as soon as we sell this one - anyone want a house in sunny
Gloucestershire ? - however I will be picking your brains as and when we get
to where we are going :-)

kate

I've had some very helpful email with regard the technical aspects of the
site, optimising its viewing etc. I'm extremely grateful for that, as well
as for the kind comments from the less techie types. ;-)

Your little helper?

A lurking expert little helper. ;-)

I strongly urge Sacha to submit the site for critical review at both:

alt.html
alt.html.critique

It will be interesting to see the results if they dare do that!!!


The site does not work under my pc configuration. Other potential
customers will find the same.

And because it is a business site then it needs to work effectively
across all common web browsers otherwise you cut off a lot of potential
trade.

This isn't the place to discusses the technicalities of web page design
and I'm not going there. But if I spent money to people to build this
website, then I would wont a refund!

However, I'd rather talk about how runner beans and early potatoes are
doing this year!

LOL!!

I appreciate the interest, Ed but my experience of discussing computer
matters on the web is that WW3 breaks out because everyone thinks they're an
expert. I've had some very helpful comments from another professional
designer and am following those lines.

My runner beans are not doing well how are yours. BTW I still think
it is an ace site and if I wanted to order something, as a potential
customer, I found it easy.

It works for me with WinXP SP3 and the current versions of Firefox IE7 and
Opera.

Maybe you should post your PC configuration?

No, no. this is not an IT site. We talk gardening here.

But for some inexplicable reason, Sacha has not yet put up the site for
critique as I advised.

I am amazed that has not been done without delay cos they are loosing
customers.

What a strange thing to say. How do you know we're losing customers? In
fact, we've had quite a few!

I'm sure they are not Ed, most customers who seek out their site at the
moment are probably aware of how good the Nursery is and are looking at
the web pages to find out information, it's not the same situation as an
open advert 'coming to them'

I think accessibility is possibly an issue but have emailed Sacha with
my own minor comments. As you see, this forum is not the place to
discuss validation certificates or accessibility.

To answer another poster, accessibility isn't about the browser
necessarily but about contrast of colours for reading or for screen
readers or for page resolution.

Tom has had to make the maps on his Diplomacy site accessible for
players that are blind etc. and colours have to be recognised by a lot
of different types of screen so can't be 'unofficial' but as Sacha says,
this is early days and it'd a question of getting it online before
tweaking and minimising the script behind the design.

Good explanations, Janet. ;-) Yes, accessibility has been raised in emails
from two expert web designers so it's certainly something we're looking at.
Work is going on as I write and more will be done later - watch this space!
And no, we're not losing customers - in fact, we've had several orders
already which is very heartening at such an early stage. At present the
plan is to keep the photographic bits to our more rare and unusual plants
and then add a Plant List that is not illustrated, of other things we think
people might like to know about. Festina lente is the motto at present!

There is far more to website accessibility than that!

Why on earth does she need to 'submit it to critical review'?
It works perfectly well for me, and for everyone else on here using
all the popular web browsers.
If you are the only one having problems with it I suggest you submit
your own judgment to 'critical review'.

Don't worry about it! We know it needs some work, that's why the comments
have - mostly - been welcome. It's always a good idea to see what others
think of a site, what thorny bits they discover etc. But trying to set
someone up for a flame war isn't helpful to anyone and it is certainly not
'help' that anyone needs, IMO.
