    New improved weather site

    Hi everyone,

    We did post up our Burton weather site for a review last year, however since then we have been working hard on improvement and are ready again for some constructive criticism. There is now a forecast in PowerPoint, for those who do not have PowerPoint, it can be viewed in JPEG format, which i am experimenting with, all forecasts have Audio. hope you enjoy.



    Kind Regards

    Very very nice and professional, may be the page is a little to big.
    Good job, well done.

      Looks very good
      If only you could add a button labeled SUNSHINE which worked on demand. Ah well we can all dream

        Hi, looks good and clearly a lot of thought has gone into it. However index page takes too long to load and at 724 kb needs cutting down to size. The images need optimising. The main image at 238kb can be cut down to 25-30kb with no loss of visual detail on screen. Similarly the rainbow image at top left can be cut down from 138 kb to 10 bk max. Do that and your page will load in half the time.
        Regards,
        James.

          Thanks for the kind comments everyone, re: the image sizes, yes I must try to reduce those down, further, I have pictures for almost every weather type / occasion, so will be busy over the next few days reducing those down, regarding the sunshine button, will work on that as well, lol, the problem is, here in the UK, once rain starts, it never knows when to stop.

          Regards
