Bicycle Doctor Tweaks

An update on the final changes made to my Bicycle Doctor website following the final crit session:

The only specific flaw mentioned in class was the lack of a clear telephone number. Although I had struggled to fit this in the design without the navigation becoming cluttered, it was pointed out to me that the tagline could easily be placed beneath the name instead of to the side. Why I missed this I can’t really explain – it just goes to show how helpful it is to get feedback from others and to look at what you’ve been working on with fresh eyes.

I also hadn’t felt that it was very important to get the address at the top, but in retrospect I decided people could easily be quickly searching for a bike shop within traveling distance.

I managed to get my jquery slideshow sliding in the right direction (with some frustration and without adequate knowledge as to why – further research is clearly required in this area!) and made some refinements to my logo as well as setting the background image as a percentage to avoid it becoming displaced if a user were to zoom out.
