The Grove Folk Club website has been completely revamped by a professional computer guru and navigates beautifully.

To date I have not been to a singers night which are a recent innovation but have had four wonderful guest nights.

Website available at The Grove

That's a good clear website. Now I don't have to root about trying to find my copy of Tykes to know what's on.

Good one.

Cheers
Sarah

Not easy to navigate if you have Netscape (things a bit mixed up) but fine with IE. Good site

Hi nutty,

I designed the thing to be fully HTML and CSS standards compliant.

Which version of Netscape are you using?

The site is designed to work with all modern CSS capable graphic browsers and all text browsers.

Unfortunately Netscape 4.x is neither. It's implementation of CSS is completely broken (as its authors admit). Designers therefore have to treat Netscape 4.x as a text browser. Users of text and audio browsers generally don't want to read 2 pages of menus before they get to the substantive page content ... which is why I have deliberately put the menus at the bottom for people who get the text/audio browser version.

There is no good reason for people to still be using Netscape 4. Firefox (descended from Netscape, freely downloadable and smaller footprint) is the best graphic browser by light years and much freer.

Almost any modern text browser renders sites better than Netscape 4.
