Dear Chris,I am not an expert on Web sites but I found the whole thing much too "overbearing" and difficult to read. The information list very difficult to read in orange(red?)on the patterned background.Black type is OK. I prefer the plain background on the old web site.

Dear all, As you are probably aware we are working on a new website for the museum. However progress is very slow mainly because other things, like running the museum, keep getting in the way. I hope soon to be able to make the address of the draft version available to all for comments. In the meantime I've made a few alterations to our homepage which hopefully make it look a little more modern and more helpful to visitors. Namely these are a photographic backdrop and a Google site search for the museum's pages. This can be viewed by following this link http://www.rurallife.plus.com/rlc/index3.html I would value your feedback on readability and usefulness before going live with these changes. Please note the changes will only affect the front page - the rest of the site will remain as it is now. The front page appearance will vary depending on what size your browser window opens at but I have tried to design it so that it looks good in a variety of common sizes. I look forward to your comments.
