I like the design, but on my high-resolution screen most of the content is clumped together on the left side. Screenshot here: http://www.bluetail.com/~luke/misc/hp.png
Is it better now?
What about using relative sizes for the tables? At least for the non-obvious tables at the bottom this would be an improvement. Say, if you gave the table a width of 90% and every field 50% of the table width.
Ah, Luke meant that part on the bottom. I thought the problem were the long lines--well, indeed I guess that's not what "clumped together" means ;-)
Well, my decision for narrowing the lines above was that it's generally considered better to have shorter lines (a rule of thumb says max. 60 characters per line). So maybe I could put a border left and right and put it all in the middle of the page. It would then still look somewhat lost on large screens but OTOH I never saw a newspaper/magazine/novel/scientific book that used a landscape paper orientation. (And: it's all for the sake of usability :)
I dunno nufin' about web design so no suggested fix :-)
Design is the one thing. Content and structure another. I think I have good judgement for both (all three) but I am mostly not so eager to spend too much effort in both ;-)
No comment. :P
Wise decision. Very wise decision... ;-)
