OK, the new site is finally up on the new server. Here's the link

That's the product of three months of work by me. I hope you like it :)

NOTE: We only changed the DNS on monday, so some people may still see the old website on the old server. For reference, the new site is arranged in three colums w/ a picture in the center. The old site has a green bar gonig down the lefthand side and a tan bar across the top. Make sure you're looking at the new site before judging it :)
 

Day-um - you guys have some niiice offices.

I like the site a lot - it's really organized. How long did it take you to design/code/implement that project from start to finish?

I love the banner and the pictures on the main page, especially the one of the dam.

Nice site! :)

very, very nice!!!

I can see that most people would go to the site for information, and you did an awesome job organizing everything specially when the site has crazy amounts of info.

awesome!

yeah, the old site was horribly disorganized. I think I improved organization a lot on the new site.

Thanks for running it through the w3c validator, I might not have noticed those two missing quotes. It validates now.

As far as bobby is concerned:

If this is a data table (not used for layout only), identify headers for the table rows and columns. (7 instances)
Lines 64, 120, 136, 163, 159, 61, 55

All tables are for layout, not data.

If you use color to convey information, make sure the information is also represented another way. (21 instances)
Lines 32, 38, 66, 73, 80, 88, 95, 103, 111, 122, 128, 137, 139, 144, 146, 150, 152, 154, 160, 177, 184-185

None of the colors are there for information, they're there to look nice.

If an image conveys important information beyond what is in its alternative text, provide an extended description. (6 instances)
Lines 32, 128, 144, 150, 154, 184-185

There is only one image on the page that's important, it's well identified by the "alt" string.

If a table has two or more rows or columns that serve as headers, use structural markup to identify their hierarchy and relationship. (11 instances)
Lines 30, 38, 50, 64, 120, 136, 163, 159, 61, 181, 55

Like I said, the tables are just for layout.


Priority 2 Accessibility
This page does not meet the requirements for Bobby AA Approved status. Below is a list of 2 Priority 2 accessibility error(s) found:

Use relative sizing and positioning (% values) rather than absolute (pixels). (14 instances)
Lines 30, 32, 38, 40, 50, 55, 61, 64, 119, 120, 136, 158, 159, 183

No.

Do not use the same link phrase more than once when the links point to different URLs. (1 instance)
Line 151

This refers to one link that says "projects" and another that says "current projects" that link to the same place. It shouldn't be an issue.

Avoid use of obsolete language features if possible. (1 instance)
Line 204
It's just an underline, but I guess I'll change that.

[/quote]Check that the foreground and background colors contrast sufficiently with each other. (22 instances)
Lines 28, 32, 38, 66, 73, 80, 88, 95, 103, 111, 122, 128, 137, 139, 144, 146, 150, 152, 154, 160, 177, 184-185 [/quote]
My supervisor is colorblind and he hasn't complained.

Provide a summary for tables. (11 instances)
Lines 30, 38, 50, 64, 120, 136, 163, 159, 61, 181, 55

There is no summary, they're there for layout.


Identify the language of the text. (1 instance)
Line 3

I guess I could do that.

If this is a data table (not used for layout only), provide a caption. (11 instances)
Lines 30, 38, 50, 64, 120, 136, 163, 159, 61, 181, 55
I really wish they'd stop asking this.
