I'd like to get comments on graphics, layout and accessibility.
There's something about the front page that I'm not 100% happy with...

I don't know how it looks at 1600x1200+ resolutions.
Need for bigger display...

I am using Textpattern content management system.

Wow, that looks really good.

Wow, that looks really good. Clean and simple, but not boring. I can't really read the content because I don't know which language it was written in. I like how you did the top menu. The whole site looks very professional.

tnx, previous design was

tnx, previous design was pretty good as well, but it was too white for me.

I was thinking about the layout of the frontpage.
I feel there's a lack of dimension...
What if the bottom part of the content (with 3 columns) would be different from the upper (2 columns). Different colors, bg image, theme, round corners smth etc?
It's kind of flat. Or maybe I'm just trying to overdo (overkill) it...

Your top right text-box

Your top right text-box doesn't stand up to much text-resizing. Nice design though Laughing out loud

Yes, that's true. I had to

Yes, that's true. I had to make it this way, otherwise the text would go out of the "box" when resizing.

1. Validates !! 2. why cant

1. Validates !!

2. why cant I see skip navigation and sitemap links? I see them in the code, but dont see them in the browser?

3.

should be a list.

4. I dont read this language, so its very hard to find any navigation. It doesnt follow traditional flow.

5. I like the color scheme.

6. some might complain about the text being small.


First basic few steps in building a webpage
1. Gather and collect content.
2. Organize the content into meaningful semantic valid HTML
3. Design the prototype
4. Style using CSS

1. Well, most of my work

1. Well, most of my work always validates and if it doesn't it's smth to do with lightbox styles or smth similar Tongue

2. So true about those links. Forgot those. Skip nav was supposed to be "Go to nav" actually... and yes, you don't see them.

3. Yes, why not.

4. True, the navigation is not good, because it requires a person to read out the handwritten font that is not easy to do here.
Although I want that in my design. Just got to figure out how to make it better.

6. Text can be resized of course Smile But it doesn't look good enough when 1pt bigger.

Good remarks!
