    Looking for critiques on a new website!
    I posted this on the Computers for Beginners section as it is more viewed then web development.

    I am looking for advise on a website I am creating. Any advise is welcome. Click HERE to view.


    Here is the site details!

    DotNetNuke 5x framework
    Free DNN skin (maxed resolution, sorry)
    Written in VB.NET and uses CSS sheets

    Needless to say I do have limitations but advice is still requested.

    Thanks!

    I would change the scrolling text box on the right. Personally, I find anything that takes control away from the user annoying. It's fine to do something like that, but just turn it into a scrollable inline frame if possible.

    The search bar at the top of the "About Us" page is redundant as you have a search bar at the top of each page.

    Otherwise it looks very clean.

    When did you look at the site? I ask because I just redid it completely from what it was 1hr ago :)

    It was generally the same outline but with different colors and backgrounds, this looks much cleaner and less amateurish.

    My options on the RSS feed is either have it scroll bottom to top, top to bottom, right to left or one long list. No scrollable frame.

    Also, I can't get the search module to work with this skin anyway so I am deleting the module!

    I just looked at it.

    You could take the code to make it one entire list and place that in a separate HTML document, then place that into an inline frame.

    I guess I am not entirely sure what an inline frame is? Are you fluent in DNN?

    Not fluent in DNN. Just HTML, CSS, and a little JavaScript. See http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/iframe.html for I-Frame help.

    WOW, I know what it is. I had a major brain fart. I am actually about to put our Facebook page on our media access site using a FB generated IFrame script I'll input into my iframe module.

    It's late, my brain stops working after midnight :)
