New site

[chalsema]

Hey everyone,
We've officially launched our site, but it's still a work in progress. What do you think? One thing I don't like is that there's no space above "Traditional Soy Candles" in the nav bar. Is there a way to fix that? Does anything else jump out at you? That random green rectangle is where our "live chat" button is going to go so that people can chat with us online.
Thanks!

You have <br /> before every link except the first one, that is why there is no space above it.

I would suggest taking out the "soy candle home link" since the logo already takes you home. I'd like to see the header less cluttered, there's alot going on up there that I think doesn't need to be there. I like the background on the navigation, maybe you could tie that in some how with the content page.

I'm curious to know who is going to be chatting with you via this box.

*edit*
Few other things:

I'm on a PC firefox, and on the Private Label Soy Candles page there is a whole screen of white extra after the content, I think this might have something to do with it.

<div class="content">
<p class="body">
</p>
</div>
or
<div class="outsidebox" style="height: 7000px;">


There's extra room on some other pages, but not as much as on the Private lable.

Hope this helps.

thanks! yeah, it is pretty cluttered up there. i'll see if i can put some of that stuff over on the side under the alexa box. probably the credit cards and ups logo can go over there. we were trying to get all of our "credibility" in at the top.

i think i know why there's so much space on the custom label page. it is the outter box div. there used to be a lot more stuff on that page and i forgot to resize the outterbox div. i didn't want to have to do that manually, but you probably remember my other thread about that problem.

the live chat thing is through a program called "live person." it lets you chat with customers/visitors to the site, track their progress through the site, how they got to the site, etc.

cool.

you should check out the <div ="content"> on that page too, It looks to be completely empty.

[chalsema]

ah yeah, i'm sure that content div is empty. oops!

I would put some left padding on buttons on the left side. It's little tight.

I would put some left padding on buttons on the left side. It's little tight.

I tried doing that, but when i put the padding on the div itself it widens the div even though it has a width attribute, and when i put the padding on the text it only affects the first line of text. for example, "traditional soy candles" gets bumped to 2 lines when i add padding but only the first line gets indented. is there another way to try it?

p.s. I made some changes if you want to take another look.

You can center them.

Another general question: Why is is that when I have a line of text and a picture right under it there's so much space between the two? For example:
<p class="body" style="text-align: center; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 9pt;"><b>
Call Toll Free: 1-866-27WICKS</b></p>
<img src="Images/creditcards.jpg" alt="We accept major credit cards" />
<img src="Images/ups.jpg" alt="We ship UPS" />
I adjusted the line height and it helped some, but is there a better way to solve this problem? It'd be better if the text basically sat on top of the images.
