The site didn't take long to load at all, I also found that going through the internal links was very quick also.
I played rugby when I was a kid and reading about it brought back one or two memories (I'm getting all nostalgic, sniff sniff)
I liked the fact that the green works, although I see that other 'reviewers' have commented on that.
I didn't like the shaky text on the homepage every few seconds or so, I kept thinking my screen was about to stop working. I'd lose that straight away.
The headers on the side banners for the links should be made to differentiate from the actual links on some way, maybe without the indented look that the links have.
The title image is not in keeping with the rest of the site, I would suggest similar size but certainly a 'cleaner/crisper' image. Perhaps a current team photo? For the links on the title (sponsors) also I would do the same, at the moment they look like v.poor quality gifs. It just didn't 'feel' right.
Love the content (you have a lot on there) especially liked the p*ss up photos. Make sure you get everyone at your rugby club to have a look and bookmark it as their homepage, good luck with it.

Hi Guys,

The website is hosted through a standard broadband internet connection (1mg) running a wamp apache solution. Hence it takes sooooooooooooo long to download. I was going to move it to their 'real domain' when it went live, I simply use this server to develop on!

Thanks for all the feedback although the rugbyclub has decided not to use it and stick with their current website :cry: :cry: http://www.waterloorugby.com :wink:

Oh wel,l.

Cheers, Primordial ..,.

Well, sorry about that!

For future designs, keep people who are on 56k in mind. They might not want to wait 3 days to download all of the graphics on the site. Also search engines don't read image text! Your menu links are useless as keywords because search engines can't see them. Also, people who have images turned off can't see them either!
