The site's just been shifted, so i need to get my database back up and running (so no forums section at present) ...it's a first website, though it's been through a year's worth of revisions.

What do you guys think? Try not to be too harsh...

Hi dchakrab,
I'm somewhat of a newbie on the issue but I can say that the site has a nice clean look and is simple to follow. One suggestion if I may. On the "Sponsor A Child" page I would put any details and costs right out there in the open to be seen right away. My opinion is that poeple are less likely to act on it if they have to take that extra step of contacting you first just for info. Maybe a small thought of the cost being too high for them or something like this might keep them from contacting you at all. Just my opinion. :)

Well, the top nav bar is goofy, the cursor turns into a "hand" over the menu to drop down the menus, but they are not clickable to go anywhere, only for the mouseover, then, over the menu items it is clickable but the cursor turns into a text highlightings cursor, so it doesn't appear clickable...

Do you mean that the links don't work Dan? When I use them they take me to other pages. :)

the top graphical bar does turn the cursor into a hand, like it's a link, but the link doesn't do anything other than a mouseover to open the subnav menus. Then in those subnav menus the cursor is a text cursor (not a hand) but they work as links.

But the image link shouldn't work, it's only for mouseover based on the code I am looking at. Only the subnavs are links (bad usability here)

the site looks cool though

Points on the sponsorship noted...i'll bring that up as a proposed change.

Thanks for the points on the menu system...i'm not good enough with Javascript to fix them. As you can probably tell from the code, it's Fireworks-generated. I tweaked it to get the images working, but can't figure out how to change it further...any suggestions, from someone better than code than i am?

It's a first site...i'm not that experienced with website design, though i've taken a lot of beginner-level classes.

Thanks,

Dave.

All the links have an HREF of href="#". just adding the file name in place of the # would be a good starts, then, in the dov for the menu items a cursor: hand; in that style definition would do the trick...sometimes...
