#383, "RE: Page is Up"


          

I won't rehash my comments on this style. I will say that the format is very difficult for me to read.

First line should maybe be broken into two lines - the red "discover" line, and below it the "and you'll know" line. It's readable as-is, but looks somehow sloppy/incomplete.

Top five reasons block is really tough to read. Maybe put a carriage return after each bullet to break it up some.

When I opened the page for the first time, those were the main eyesores.

Aside: Frequently changing font style, size, color, etc may help to highlight important points. But if every other line is different from the line before it, then everything (or nothing) is highlighted as important. It ends up reading like those MUDs where everything is a different color, and it looks like a rainbow threw up on the monitor. Finding the right mix of highlight vs. boring should be a priority for this style. It might be as simple as choosing one or two "highlight" types - for instance, use +1 size red bold for major highlights and regular size underline bold for minor highlights....or something.

Another quirk that I can't figure out how to fix: page width. As I expand/contract the window, I can get a completely different page effect because text line wrap width is adjustable. At the same time, I really don't advise fixing the text or window width because of how irritating that can be on other websites. You have a min width set...maybe try with a max width too and see how that works out?
