Normsweb.com - New Graphical Layout:

After spending weeks trying to make my site as compatible as possible across all browsers I have designed this all new graphical layout.

This new layout now displays correctly in MOST browsers when viewed at or above a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. A couple of older versions of "Opera" browser possibly have issues, but since the latest version of Opera displays it correctly, I'm not going to worry about that.

I have tried to stick to my principle of "less bull, more data" while redesigning the website, that is, that being able to access the data on this site quickly and easily is more important than fancy bells and whistles. If you want flash animations etc then go elsewhere, but if you just want good reliable easy access to the "good stuff" then your in the right place!

I still have some work to do on the header (the top box with the logo and links in) to make it look nicer, but that will come in time. If you experience problems viewing my site, please contact me and let me know, so I may put it right.

UPDATE 27-02-10: Lots of unseen stuff done to website to make it load faster. Also added a background colour selector, so you, my valued users may chose which colour you would like the background of Normsweb.com to be.

UPDATE 06-01-10: While trying to find a suitable background for my site, I have re-visited an old tiled effect that I used a while ago. I have re-coloured it to make the grey boxes stand out and am reasonably happy with it. Any comments or ideas to improve the background styling are welcomed. please click the contact me link in the header box.

UPDATE 05-01-10: Experimenting with different backgrounds to try and find one that suits the site and that I like... That's not easy, coz it needs to be fast and efficient to load as well. "double gradiated fade" looks ok but not quite to my liking... watch this space!

UPDATE 06-12-09: While running some diagnostics on my site to improve its speed I found that my highly polished shiny new logo was slowing the site down drastically. I have now had to compromise the quality of the image slightly (Awww!) to improve the over all speed of the site. Logo now loads about 4x faster, so I suppose its worth the trade off. :-(

UPDATE 14-11-09: Due to some untidy coding, some pages aren't displaying correctly and my site is running slowly. you sometimes need to do a refresh to get it to display correctly. This is entirely down to my laziness and the fact that I used dreamweaver to create the site in wysiwyg mode and didn't bother to check the code manually. This issue is now being sorted and the full site should be back into full speed within a few days!

UPDATE 01-11-09: Header redesign complete. Along with that I've re-styled the whole site again. Normsweb is no longer in the dark - I have brought Normsweb.com into the light by getting rid of the black backgrounds on all the pages. I feel that this style looks more professional and the site now incorporates"text rollover" links, that go red when mouseover and get a linethrough when they have been visited, which is cool!
