resizes nicely for higher res but once you get below 950 wide it turns to **** (ie. funky stuff happens at 800x600)

Who uses 800 x 600 these days? The percentage must be tiny.

I looked at it last night and thought it was refreshingly good compared to some of the sites that get posted here

the percentage indeed seems to be tiny.

based on 5 seconds of googling and 1 websites stats. 1.55% of users view the web in 800x600.

And that 1.55% of users would be quite used to seeing stuffed up websites by now.

It is a good site but I would like to have seen a map (we are, after all, not Americans and have a keen interest in geography ).

I think that with netbooks taking off, 800x600 has made a comeback of sorts.

Hell, with Netbooks you'd be better off just using a damn iPhone..

I gotta say, I do like the Layout, It's quite simple and clean. No real cluttering so it's fairly effective for a first time working with Joomla

Wow! Lots of feedback. Thanks guys!

We do have a map at Tourism - but the site is really not meant to be a promotional thing (it's for a Consular Office), so the front-page is intentionally "strictly business". That said, always nice to hear first impressions and I'll certainly take that into account if I hear the same thing again.

On the resolution issue: Thanks for bringing this to my attention - it seems that the late addition of the news module messed it up a little. Around 3% of our visitors are 800x600 or lower. All major netbooks except one model have resolutions of or above 1024x580. However, 3% is significant for our traffic, and 800-wide design is important for mobile devices and Win7 Aero Snap on 22" monitors (820px), so I've updated the front page CSS to a wider min-width, while keeping the min-width low on other pages.

While I was at it, I also centered the page on larger screens and reduced the max-width for readability.

0.34% of visitors visit on the iPhone/iPod Touch. the site works, but it's not obvious how to scroll it (you need to scroll with two fingers to scroll inside a scrolling div or frame), so I have added a mobile-specific stylesheet that turns off the overflow (and reduces image loads).

Thanks for the feedback and compliments guys, they're really very much appreciated. I would also be very happy to hear any criticism, constructive or otherwise.

That's a nice design, the colours work well.

I found that on my iPhone and iPod the menu bar is a little messed up. Perhaps a mobile version?
