thats fine. its nice to get some feedback :)

the idea was to give it a professional edge. We figured a slightly more
muted colour scheme would detract less from the images. Remember eventually
this site is prolly gonna be stuffed with mocs and Lego imagery, the site is
pretty empty at the moment, but thats not the idea.

the Links are done as text to allow thm to be drawn from the database, and
also so they are quicker to load. (you can increase the fonts on the menu if
you like by choosing text size larger in IE)

Please please please can I have some more feedback positive or negative so I
know if its a yey or a nay, or I'll just go ahead with it anyway :) If
everyone dosent like the colourscheme then we have to change it, if Troys on
his own then its his tough :)

James,

First, let me say thanks for putting in the effort to get something
usable and pretty together.

Then, let me say that I don't like it :-)

The function is fine, but the form is lacking in several areas.

- It's not very 'LEGOey', that is, beyond the minifig and the small
pictures of studs, there's nothing to visually identify it as a site
about LEGO. I don't think the choice of colour helps. Sticking to paler
or brighter shades of traditional 'official' colours would help, eg. the
prime red, blue, yellow, white, black, green, grey.

- There's nothing really 'UKey' about it either.

- I would prefer the links panel to use a larger font - make it stand
out a bit more.

All IMHO, but you asked :-)

Tony

OK I've put the bare bones of a site up at www.minifig.co.uk\uklug its • not
working properly in netscape yet (but then what does) and if you follow • the
latest news link off the frontpage you'll get a page not found. I'll have • a
go at getting around the netscape ugly filter  tomorrah. Its all coming • from
a database so once we are happy with it I'll do an admin system and then
everyone can have passwords and do updates themselves. That way no one
person is to blame if the site is never updated
LMKWYT and if your a non netscape user and gett odddness LMK also
