I have been working on a website for the last couple of weeks and could do with some constructive comments, regarding layout and suggested content, good point bad points etc..

please bear inmind this is my first ever attempt and my web creation skills still in their infancy

Content is a little sparse at the moment but i am planning to turn it into a journal of my new STi8 documenting any modifications and general running experiences as well as hosting details of local cars.

http://www.wcsr.co.uk

thanks in advance

Phil G

Very nice site, a few comments
Its a bit confusing when you click on Buying guide and the only thing on there is Model History and its not obvious its clickable as its not a button like the other pages, and it would be nice to see some mention about the PPP in verious models (yup i know the RB5 WRsport gets mentioned)
All in all a very nice tidy side
Ohh btw 100% better than i could do

Your menu on the left does not work very well at all in Opera, might want to try and address that

Thanks for the comments,

I will address the issue with the navigation in Buying guide to get to the model history to make it more apparent, more content is needed in this section anyway and that is on my to-do list.

The Model History requires brought upto date and i am hoping to include pictures of all the models and more specific details extra's i.e PPP, wheels, etc..

The Gallery section is under review and i am proposing to change the function of this to include lower res as well as hi res versions of each picture.

With regards to making it work better in opera, It has been hard enough for me to make it work in Internet Explorer, What the Hell is Opera anyway

Keep the comments comming, it all helps, im running out of ideas

Phil G

If your going to steal content from other websites, wouldn't it be curtious to ask the owner of that website if you could use the content.
Breach of copyright laws me thinks!!!.

No offence to you at all, but it annoys me quite when I visit new websites and find the layout and content just like mine.

My site has been out for several years now, it took me 6 months to get online, because I researched and collected as much data as I could.

Nuff said.

Hi Phil, looking good.

I'm also having trouble seeing all the left hand menus, IE with screen set to 800x600.

Cheers

Site looking very good! First attempt, that's impressive. What kind of "start up kit" did you use if any? And, by the way, what type of rims are fitted on the P1 in the gallery section? Like them!

Cheers
