Web Design Clinic - Art meets Webdesign
Sabine submitted the site "Art meets Webdesign".
This page did not validate when I checked it with the W3C validator. Which just shows that keeping a site valid requires constant vigilance. There are also a number of issues with the accessibility when I tested it against the WAI guidelines.

Do You Want Your Site Considered for the Web Design Clinic?
There are two ways you can have your site reviewed on Web Design @ About.com. You can use either method, you don't have to use both:
- Post a request in the Site Review Requests folder in the Web Design forum. This is the best way to get feedback, as you'll get responses from other Web designers in the forum, and selected posts will be chosen for the Web Design Clinic.
- Submit your site to the Web Design Design Gallery and check the "solicit critiques" checkbox on the form. Pages submitted there will be reviewed by the About.com Guide to Web Design, Jennifer Kyrnin, and may be chosen for the Web Design Clinic.
I happen to think that calling the site too large is old school, that ridiculous 600-700 screen width with for old laptops is just gone, all of the laptop screens are bigger now.
I took the same risk myself with a new site width at just over 1,000 pixels. It’s white and wide open with big fonts and clean obvious navigation, no horrible javascript menus anywhere.
Devices like Iphone magnify and scroll, obliterating any site width paradigm spec.
The screens have gotten much bigger and I’m utterly sick of narrow sites, tiny fonts, and mashed javascript menus. I might lose some eyeballs on retro screens but I’ll keep a lot more with a much better wider design.
