New website crit

Russinating · 17 Sep 2015 at 10:38

Just working on a new site for us, appreciate all feedback/crit/bug spots. Going for a more modern metro style design that more prominently features content.

At the moment the only links on the homepage and clients that work are The Royal Mint (example of multiple projects) and Magners (example of a single project) to give you an idea of their page's layouts.

Address: http://new.jonesmillbank.com

The existing site is at www.jonesmillbank.com if you want to compare and contrast.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah a load of the links are broken

.

Yeah I'll be sorting out the mobile bits once it's all in a final state; font size obviously increased across the board and the nav probably changing to a menu icon.

Thanks everyone.

Also trying to work out the best way of making the content blocks float left, but also up. For example below, the two small blocks on their own would ideally slot up above, like an upside down tetris. In fact the bottom right square should fall in-line and be underneath the text block, rather than being 'blocked' by the longer horizontal one.

Any pointers?

Yeah found Masonry. Presume there's no CSS alternative?

I notice that you are not using any css frameworks is this because you want to keep keep file size down/learning css? As something very light weight like purecss could give you a lot of the stuff you need without reinventing the wheel.

Yeah I like coding from scratch

. Means there's nothing there that's not needed (hopefully!) and I know what's what when something doesn't display right.

Finished off this page today which I'm quite happy with! http://new.jonesmillbank.com/our-clients/skiworld/. Pretty simple JS with the help of jQuery but works quite well I think (playing the individual videos).

Thanks guys, appreciated.

Yeah haven't got round to that yet. Video doesn't lend itself too well to blind people either

Haha. I normally do tags and titles anyway for a bit of SEO, just takes time - the site was probably finished 3 weeks ago but I've just been doing content bit by bit.
