CSF critique

Overall, I liked the layout and it worked on my small screen... sometimes I have to scroll side to side. The picture on the front caught my eye and also lets people know you are helping out. The uniformity was good, everything aligned left and easy to read fonts that are simple yet also have some variation with size and shadowing. On the home page... I loved the CSF logo. I would advise you to add something more at the bottom. (im sure you just havent gotten around to it.) I liked the picture and the way the orange in their t-shirts matches the colors of the site. I think the picture behind the title/logo fades too much - mabye you could put another one there or make it come out further, I dont like the white space on the other side. The about us page is good. The descriptions were great but their was no info about Dr. Willis. The bottom submenu buttons dont really do anything.
The snapshots page was also good. Good variety of pictures (i hope we have that many!!). The snapshots menu slice came up blank, mabye thats just not finished yet too? I also think you should either take away the captions or make new ones. I also think the "NOW SERVING ATL" box could be seperated out more because it doesnt flow with the rest of the site - considering its an outside link its ok it doesnt match but just make it more distinct. The video idea is great but you dont have any yet. The connect page was also good. I really liked the calendar and the different options. The news submenu link doesnt work. I like how the "connect" and "contact" pages were not next to each other so no one gets confused. I would swich the news and menu buttons if the news one is the overall connect page too. The contact page was also useful and informative. It has really good organization. I like how the blog opens in the same window, not a new window. A really picky thing... does the "how i get there" text have more of a shadow than the "lets talk about it" text. Very clever wording overall, i like the menu names. GOOD JOB !
