wow good work!
nice navigation, i can search the local rowing clubs (why i would do this i don't know), save my favorites (and they are still there if i leave and come back), instructions are great, and the browsers back and forward buttons work.

good job.

that's a really nice site, nice design, nice interactivity, nice colours...etc...

the only prob i had was when looking at 'favourites' i could not see the whole title...

i could imagine this would annoy users...especially if they had not been back for a while...

ohhh so picky... :D

cheers...zerohero...

impressive - really like it - particularly the navigation menu, not seen that approach before and it works well - quick 2!

opens up 2 browser windows on uni rowing clubs links in uk,is that a glitch?

the only thing that I found odd was the lack of branding given to the sponsors. true they don't have a lot of identity but they do have distinct logos etc... The way they're presented sort of blends them in with the rest of the copy...

Also this is small and pobably only annoying to one who thinks about these things often but it would be nice if "home" jumped immediately home...it's funny because when you usually hit home (or any other button" on a site you sit and wait a second and it pops up, but when you see the animation taking you back home it get's rather maddening to wait for it. even if the wait is no longer than usual...weird, all about perception i guess.

otherwise nice, what's a vortal? i thought you mis spelled portal.

I like the navigation...great stuff there...simple to use and that counts in a world full of complexities...

Hi

I have visited your site. I like the simplicity and the color scheme. It looks very clean and understandable. Loading time is very short and generally speaking, I felt very comfortable. usually the site who has too many links like this makes me afraid, but here this was not the case.
At my first try I did not find a way to go back home with a single click, this may be because my native language is not english (it is seen, anyway:)) and that's why I am less sensible to english words so I was not able to notice "home" link, but I think there can be a kind of movement of shape or color which will take my attention there to show me the ways to go main page directly. As the color scheme is monochromatic, it is a little bit to notice some details, at least for me:)

I did not like the placement of "how to use this site" and "contact" links on the page. It looks as if the installation of these graphical elements is not complete. I would suggest to place them over "home" link in a smaller format, so that watchers of the site can see all the links at the same place. By doing so the right corner will look too empty, I think this can be fullfill with a graphic with very light blue or gray color and it can change according to the active links.

good work.
