ok designs, ok color scheme, ok layout, u should have separate page for query form, it looks unprofessional - a query form straight on the homepage.

It's a nice layout.

I find the scrolling pictures a bit too fast too look at properly...try and slow the scroll speed down.

Try and add a favicon...I know it's a small thing, but for me makes a difference, especially with multiple tabs open, as I can recognise a site from its favicon.

The query form is good, it means you don't need to go into your email to contact you.

It's good that all your downloads are in pdf...well done :) That's a common mistake, as not everyone has MS office or equivelant.

The FAQ is good, but the site map shows an under construction page...try and sort that ASAP-there's nothing worse than an under construction page.

The location map takes quite a long time to load. Maybe just use an image rather than an embedded map.

How did you set up the google webmail??

I'd give the site 8/10, if it weren't for the pages under construction, and the images scrolling a little to quickly...it would have been a 10.

Hope this helps :)

Try adding some space to the left of the query form so the shadow doesn't cover up some of the content of the form.

Thank you stpvoice for your review.

I have registered my site in Google Apps http://google.com/a
Google Apps provides the webmail feature. Its free!

The Under Construction Pages will be removed shortly when it will be hosted in main server. As it is for demo purpose only, complete website has not been designed yet.

i like it, it looks a little like a boring business website, it has under construction pages, and everything else is good, 8/10

Its decent I guess, Nothing too fancy but nothing too nooby. I think that you should make it look more realistic and more... different than just an normal format, more variety should be great. But i would rate it a 7/10 which is an average website. Browseable but not... that .. interesting

You should resize the main college logo so that the file is the same size as its displayed on the screen (I'm talking about "osuLogo.gif"). Since it is resized by the web browser, the user has to download a file that is bigger than it needs to be, and also it looks grainy when the web browser resizes it. If you use any graphics editor, or even use the Microsoft PowerToys ImageResizer, you can resize "osuLogo.gif" to be 124px × 113px, which will make it download faster and also look better!

hey

About your page, hope you don't mind my criticism.

Layout(8/10):
.: Simple, with straight lines
.: The color scheme is well chosen, simple and clean.
.: I think it makes sense on a engeneering school website.


Menu(10/10):
.: Same as above. Integrates well in the overall page.
.: Flexible and persistent throughout pages, which I like very much (but that is my personal taste!)

Content(6/10):
.: Pages do seem a little crowded though, mainly because you have too much information scrolling, and for that matter, scrolling too fast.

:. What's new (6/10):
.: Hardly noticeable
.: After the last "news", it remains empty for too much time.
.: Its scrolling too fast

:. Scrolling Photos (5/10):
.: scrolling too fast
.: photos need to be sized properly
.: when scrolling loop ends, it abruptly jumps to the beggining
.: I would add the possibility of manually scrolling the loop with the mouse
.: I would also make each picture clickable, so we could see it full size.

:. Query Form (4/10) ----> you should fix it ASAP.
.: Well thought but looks extremely unprofessional because:
.: It's placed under the shadow from main content
.: the fields are not alligned
.: the submit button adjusts to main readers language


:. webmail page (gmail powered) you need to change:
.: The logo... it's streched so much that it seems a "blur" rather than a logo.
.: the link to it... might seem stupid, but it looks more professional if you point it to mail.yourdomain.co.cc or webmail.yourdomain.co.cc. To do that follow the instructions in google's help center. You will need to ask x10hosting admins to make the changes to CNAME's for you.

Hi thanks for your review comments.

As you told the Query form comes within the shadow of middle frame, but from my browser (IE8) it is looking fine. But from other browsers it is not looking well. How can I solve this browser compatibility issue? Please guide.

Well, I understand youused DreamWeaver to build the webpage, is that right?

To change the space or remove the shadow you should edit the template.dwt file.

I haven't looked in the CSS file myself, but it should be easy.

Regarding the submit form

original:
Code:
                          <tbody><tr>
 
                            
                          </tr>
 
                      </tbody></table>
                    
                  
                
<hr>
 
    

    <b><center> Query Form </center></b>

    <p>
    </p><form method="post" action="Feedback.php">
    Name: <input name="NAME" type="text"><br>
    Email: <input name="EMAIL" type="text"><br>
    Phone: <input name="PHONE" type="text"><br>
    Message:<br>
    <textarea name="MESSAGE" rows="10" cols="17">    </textarea><br>
    <input type="submit">
    </form>


change to:

Code:
<tbody><tr>    

<center><hr></center>

<p><b><center> Query Form </center></b></p>
   <form method="post" action="Feedback.php">
           <table border="0">
                <tr>
                         <td></td>
                         <td>Name:</td>
                         <td><input name="NAME" type="text"></td>
               </tr>
                <tr>
                         <td></td>
                         <td>Email:</td>
                         <td><input name="EMAIL" type="text"></td>
               </tr>
               
                <tr>
                         <td></td>
                          <td> Phone:</td>
                          <td><input name="PHONE" type="text"></td>
                </tr>

               <tr>
                         <td></td>
                          <td>Message:</td>
                          <td><textarea name="MESSAGE" rows="10" cols="13"></textarea></td>
                </tr>
           </table> 

    <input type="submit">
    </form>


                          </tr>
 
                      </tbody></table>

That should allign the form and place it in the right place! It goes a bit off the margins you "set" but you can correct it easily by either increase the overall page size OR diminish the size of the main body OR just diminish the size of the form.

I also centered the divider line "<center><hr></center>" looks better.

Hope it helps

best regards
