So for my web design class this semester, I've designed a new homepage for the NS. Everyone please take a look at it and give me absolute honest critiques, and also let me know if there's any misinformation on it. It's currently in a large format, so you may have to zoom-out on your browser in order to see it properly. Also, please let me know what browser and what OS you are using if you post any problems. Anyway, here it is Thanks, Fox

I like the layout so far... BUT I would scale down on the width a little. There is no need to keep it that big because It will drive potential viewers nuts with having to scroll the page across. this is a little nit picky but a big deal win it comes to creating web pages. the little things count. and if the visitor has to keep scrolling back and forth to clink links and look at thumbnails then they will get frustrated. I KNOW that you said its in large format but its something i would fix before going live.
The media link goes no where I would either do something with that or make the link non-existent
I would add in the dagorhir link in the contact info page. BECAUSE new visitors will not know the symbol for the main site. also you said the word "below" and that ususally means after the paragragph
thats my two cents after more than a fair share of classes in web design. other than that it looks like a good piece of work.
I ran the page in FireFox, Google Chrome, And IE The OS is VISTA

Oh, forgot to mention, the font I originally used doesn't work in Windows yet (it's a Mac font), but I'm working on that...so any Windows viewers will automatically have some spacing issues and the fonts are nowhere near as cool as intended As for the size, yeah, I'm gonna scale it down some, no worries there. The Media link issue is a problem with being hosted on IPFW's server, on any normal server that link would no nothing, it's just linked as "#". I'll add that Dag link.

now I wish the unit didn't fade away with the wolf head in the emblem and all.
looks great
Add some youtube videos and a facebook link and I think you'll have it If you link the media button to the picks page or the home page it wont seem like something is wrong

Duke- when I ran IE v. 7 it worked fine for me. but the problem could be because of the mac fonts. Thats if tucker doesnt have any Micro$oft fonts written into the code.

You could add a link to Stormhaven's webpage. :]
I like it though. The only thing I would say is the scrolling, but that's already been mentioned.
Nice job SilverFox!

There's a Stormhaven link on the "Related Links" page If you guys make up a logo and get it to me, I'll add it to the link bar at the bottom

It's looks great! This would be a great homepage. It's definitely more attractive than what we have now.
