It's almost there I just want a bit of feedback before It goes live. Obviously I still need to purchase some of the images from istock and I am trying to find a good slideshow that will pull images from a Picasa web album feed or something similar. I'm not a huge fan of flikr but it would suffice. I would like to use the same slideshow on the mobile version so would like to do a javascript implementation.
I am trying to get parallels up and running so I can test the coda-slider http://www.ndoherty.biz/ and the shadowbox http://www.shadowbox-js.com/ If anyone want to do that for me I would be thrilled.
You probably noticed this but the contact page is a little too close to the edge of the left... I would also add:
html { overflow-y:scroll; }
to your CSS to force the scrollbar to appear as in webkit and firefox you get a nasty jumpy step because of the scrollbar nudging the site left
The slider works well, but I would suggest making it fit the text and not letting the scrolling happen, scrolling in a pop up I don't think is very attractive...
Great idea! that was really bugging me... never thought of that
I am trying to get a good IE testing method going here before I fix up the margins/padding... Still need to educate myself on how to deal with that stuff in IE(this is the first website I have hand coded 100%). Parallels is crashing on me like crazy for some reason, I really wish there was some sort of super browser that would test everything and run natively in OS X.
I agree on the scrolling in the pop up. I wan't to do an auto heigh with the shadowbox but it doesn't work right. I might just set fixed heights to fit all the content once the final content draft is done. I hate doing stuff like that though I really want my code to be really easy to incorporate into some other websites I am going to be doing.
I am really stumped on the slideshow thing I am seriously thinking of just learning how to code one myself... I want my customers to be able to upload photos with descriptions easily. I think the best method would be one that pull the info from a Picasa web album.
I have just had a quick look at your code and I notice you are using a lot of divs. There is no real issue with this, but a little secret is that div's arnt the only block element. For example a UL is classed as a block element and will style exactly the same as a div, so wrapping a UL in a DIV is a little redundant.
Not sure if this is the plugin/slider you are using or not though...
Yeah the plug in requires a lot of divs. I could probably get rid of the .left and .right div but I want them to have some basic css stuff so that whether there is an img, ul, or p they all behave similarly.
I highly recommend the coda slider by Niall http://www.ndoherty.biz/ He has done an awesome job making this slider work in a variety of different ways, confidently in different browsers to I might ad. He has lots of code comments to make likfe easy to... they all got got deleted in mine somehow.

Hope that helps :)
