Default two42 website update for review

OK,

Many thanks for comments of previous site, especially admagic and Sam; I'm listening and this is what I've come up with.

Test site: http://test.two42.com

1) Complete fix for IE6 issues - They sneaked in while my back was turned and as its still 30% of the browser market had to fix it - so cleaned out all the old mangled code and CSS and did it from scratch.

2) Headline - spent several hours over several days with a bunch of keywords, a thesaurus and a headache. Trying not to sound like I'm jumping on the green bandwagon (thats hard) and say what I do in basic English.

It may not be perfect - but I think its closer than it was at least.

3) Front page

copy - simple and straight forward.
images - present but trying not to get too busy
FOE - I can use their logo, so got it on the front page with donations to date (My Green Credentials)
Menu - full access to all pages from 1 place
Payment/Delivery charges - Upfront (too upfront?)


4) about pages, still need to do some work there

5) Created some help pages included description of paypal payment process

6) Images - now only one click to galleries instead of 2 or 3.

Step in the right direction?

Steve

Steve, it's sounding clearer. How about focus on graphicking up the two42 and downsizing the 'Eco Friendly' to the same size as the 'Art, publishing etc' so they are equal size on the same line - and thus make a coherent (explanatory) sentence. Otherwise, the viewer reads that your company name is "two42 EcoFriendly".

I think the text line width of your chosen design is a bit too wide; resists easy reading.

Sam,

Updated graphic in line with your suggestion (Quick change, not sure about the leaf two42 will have to stay as is for now)

Also, the main wide text, I've indented and taken 80px out of the width. Any more and it looks a bit strange (to me at least). Cant reduce the overall width of the page as I need that for the images themselves.

Thanks for taking the time

Steve
