Title: Site with UDM-4 menu for the subpages
Post by: gokcer on December 22, 2008, 03:19:08 AM
A site for a beauty center in Turkish Language, using Brodie Thiesfield's "show_menu2 module" with the UDM-4 option. This is the first time I used the subscription option of WB to use Johannes Holzer's "massmail module". So also thanks to "module creatives".

PS: UDM-4 doesn't work on Google Chrome which will be the most popular browser in next 5 years.

Hi,

even if I didn't understand any of he words written on this site - it looks very nice and funny.
But what I'm a litle bit courious about:
you made the design for such a modern site with an "good? old school nested table layout" - thanks macromedia?!?

So I think your P.S. statement is just a joke, isn't it :wink:

Regards Bernd

Hi BerndJM,

Thanks for your comment.

I couldn't understand what did you mean exactly  :-(

QuoteSo I think your P.S. statement is just a joke, isn't it

No it isn't. You may want to read this:

And why do our customer want us to make sites for IE 6?
Don't believe everything that is written in print medias or the net...............

Most PC users take the browser that is delivered with their OS and didn't even know, that other browsers exist.

Hi erpe,

If you don't believe the performance tests, try it yourself. I've tried 4 browsers several times on my web sites, why? Here is the reason:

Please don't think that more than %60 of your visitors are using IE; your customers may think...

We will talk again in 2 years and see what happened.
But if chrome will be No1 in browser-hit list, I don't care.
But then, you are right. :-)

But I said "in 5 years" :-D. In 2 years I think Chrome will have at least 20% of browsers market share. I hope they can find a solution to the UDM menu until then... :)

Is this WB? I noticed that each page is called as "index.php?page_id=XX" instead of the normal WB approach as "/pages/page_name.php".

You seem to use a lot of unnecessary HTML in some of the pages. For example, on page_id36 you have two empty set of <p> tags after each line of text. Why not just use some CSS and adjust the line spacing.

Also, you have a LOT of XHTML validation errors:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.estheticclub.com%2Fmain%2Findex.php&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0 (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.estheticclub.com%2Fmain%2Findex.php&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0)

But the site looks great anyway for human eyes  :wink:

Very nice design.

@Stefek
Thank you, but note that illustrations are stock art :)

QuoteAlso, you have a LOT of XHTML validation errors
Thank you for checking. But I think XHTML validation is out to date. Please check these too:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.606

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.606

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.606

For example multiple divs with same id returns as error on XHTML validation. But many DHTML properties and css usages requires it.

QuoteIs this WB? I noticed that each page is called as "index.php?page_id=XX" instead of the normal WB approach as "/pages/page_name.php".

Yes this is WB's - safemode/ISS server version. Safemode enabled Linux servers or ISS servers don't allow page creating via php codes. This WB reads page details directly from database.

QuoteYou seem to use a lot of unnecessary HTML in some of the pages. For example, on page_id36 you have two empty set of <p> tags after each line of text. Why not just use some CSS and adjust the line spacing.

All the site is being updated by my customer who can only use Microsoft Word on a computer. This is what CMS for. I think she copies and pastes content from MS Word, and FCKeditor's word cleaning property causes that. About 300 "<p>" costs only 1 KB... no problem.

This is a wonderful design. I was wondering how you created the scrolling text under Haberler? I've been trying to do this for some time without a successful solution.

Thanks,
Brent

Nice to see a design that doesn't follow the columns+header approach, once in a while. It takes quite a while to load however. You may have to optimize the code to speed it up.
