Feedback on Recipe Site

[Nicholas Zhou]

We'd like your help. The ChineseFoodDIY web site has just
been redesigned. We have just updated it to include some
great new tips and it now has an entirely new look. I think
that I'm "too involved" in the design to evaluate it objectively.
If some of you would look it over and give some solid input,
it would be most appreciated. My questions are:

1. When you first arrived, was the subject clear?
2. Does it sound like a good idea? Does it motivate you?
3. What didn't you understand? What other info do you need?
4. Was it user-friendly? Could you navigate around the site easily?
5. Any recommendations on improving it to grab your attention
even more?

Thank you in advance for your help. Please contact me directly
with any feedback at we*******@chinesefooddiy.com .

It doesn't validate - see

Didn't like the immediate pop-up asking me to subscribe...You've already put
a link on the home page. If I want to subscribe, I'll click the link.

The Cooking Tips link doesn't work.

You need roll-overs on the left-hand menu.

The home page itself is *MUCH* too long - over 1,400 lines of code!! Break
it into readable sections.

This is an authoring newsgroup, so I don't give advice on sales strategy
here. Sorry.

Regards,

Pete.
