Initial CFBA error report (January 2007)

page

missing pics or links

typos

all / general

the oval logo top right appears to change from page to page!

blue fading background only appears on one page I found (courses) due to broken link

I feel heading text should be vertically aligned Middle to match logo

contacttemp

centre alignment looks odd to me

members

“Click here” after pet insurance doesn’t work

bottom para - left align and add a full stop.

colin

tidy alignment of links at bottom

both paras should be left aligned

replace & with and in line 6

roger

undesirable white space at top - text may be vertically aligned middle or have extra spaces there

tidy bottom link alignment

Naturalist . (remove space)

line 3: Cats has a capital but dogs hasn’t. Suggest neither has capital.

penultimate line: world’s

charlie

space at top as for other two

picture better if rt aligned

4th line: delete magazine

2nd para, 2nd line: clients’

join

text is justified - left align instead

swap “below category

members’

current, (delete comma)

self-addressed

contact us” either put in inverted commas or make a link itself

media

a change back to my orginal font here - need to be consistent throughout site - one or the other

1st para needs a return after “below:” to correct line spacing and delete following space (may need to look at code)

“contact us”

above. (replace : with .)

courses

only page I found with blue fade background!! Nice.

some paras justified, some not

reference to course titles a bit odd as they’re not there - all this needs re-drafting now.

Update to 1st para on right needed

course4

update needed

education

looks like some columns need re-arranging

2nd para: to date (delete hyphen)

3rd para, 1st col: teaching aid:

(colon not semi-colon)

Open University

2nd col: bullet points should start with:

coverage (that’s OK)

exploring

organising (note s not z too)

discussing

comparing

reviewing

(or alternative gerunds (sorry) not verbs)

courses3

update needed (or just change the date!)

2nd col: DVDs NO APOSTROPHE!!

Open Uni

memberslist

Joyce’s pic!

ENorth Wales!

Gill’s tel no - is that right?

associateslist

Nicola image? and ALT text says Colin!

corporate

important page to get right if you’re to attract sponsors

need to stop text bumping into table - insert a new table for icons and names and consider removing blue background and using less intrusive alternative

(I may need to help get this page looking smart)

Initial CFBC error report (December 2006)

page

missing pics or links

typos

index

5x5space.gif

This applies to all pages in the footer - it may be better to remove it

education link goes to one of my Latin pages!

doginfo

broken link to Common problems

Centre

To book

catinfo

broken link to cat behaviour

information gathering (use italics)

Various

click below

catinfofull

Centre

remove justified text - left better

headings on bars should be white

Consultfull

Veterinarian. A

odd mix of justified and left aligned text. make all left.

7th para. dog’s

use either for example -

or for example:

inconsistent use of capitals for Consultation - decide C or c and stick with it throughout

final para. remember

To book

vet

“Full referral procedure here” Where? use “below” or make “here” a link

1st para. letter.

veterinarian has a V most other places

4th bullet “refer the client verbally” delete verbally

problems

To book

problemslist

Odd first line font style

until you get the links uploaded you should add something to say they’ll be coming soon.

tour

the Next button is referred to but doesn’t actually say ‘Next’ Suggest saying click the button below or putting a > on the button too

All the tour pages have slightly different image dimensions. It would be much nicer to decide a fixed size for all and crop the larger ones accordingly and replace ones that are too small.

All the tour page RH column text appears to be vertically aligned “Middle”. This will be better as “Top”. Ideally the bottom bar shouldn’t move as they ‘turn the pages’.

tourin1

3 paras, 3 font styles!!

toura

Centre

tour1a

Centre

tour3

2nd line “who display

tour5

inconsistent use of capitals for German Shepherd

tour9

Room One

tour10

Room

Ike, a German . .

Room Two

it was also the client who attended

tour15

replace “to initially assess” with “for initial assessment

tour16, 17, 18, 19, 20

client’s (on each page)

dog’s on 16 and 20

tour21

4 lines, 3 styles!!

To book

directions

rollover not working (2nd image missing)

contact

delete the ; at the end

media

some column problems here, maybe due to the picture being wider than this page was designed for. Try joining some cells together and moving content around. Failing that, make the image smaller as on other pages
