    Hi,

    I have a webpage here http://webtest.iu.edu/~iutreas/test5.html

    The top navigation has vertical pulldown menus.

    The icons navigation in the middle has two vertical pulldown menus under about us and contact us. I am interested to know what people think of those two items and the look of the pulldown there.

    I am trying to make the webpage responsive to iPhone and iPad. So far I have just tried making it resposive with the iPhone. I should say mobile phone and tablets. Sorry don’t want to offend. These are just the two mobile devices I have at the moment.

    Please offer advice or critique. The CSS is a bit messy as I am trying many things to get it working correctly.

    You have some header issues… even on a huge monitor. The logo looks all jumbled with some sort of radio box and a bunch of text.

    I like the functionality, solid and works well.

    Design wise I think it could use some improvement. Good to see you have started with responsive in mind but I think certain things like the navigation need to be better when they are on smaller screens. A lot of sites resort of ‘off canvas navigation’ for large menus on small screens although it can become a little messy. I would definitely have a look at doing something with the navigation on smaller screens whatever the case.

    Two of the other things I picked up on where colour and fonts. With the colour it sometimes looks very contrasting. For example the text on the centre image doesn’t look right with the thick black border around it, I would tone that down.

    There needs to be a consistent use of fonts, at some points on the page you are using serif fonts and at others you are using sans-serif fonts, I would try and keep to using the same style of font across the site.

    The font in the navigation looks a little funny, all of the letters in the words are two close together (kerning), I think switching the font set out entirely would be better.

    Other than that, I think you are generally heading in the right direction!
