Its part of a college project. The address is http://www.llbean.com - http://www.llbean.com

The following headings are from the point of view I should look at the site.

1) Content
2) Speed
3) Flexibility

Thanks.

At first glance looks great.  Looks A-Ok in Firefox.  A few suggestions however:

 - You have a piece of JavaScript that displays different things depending on browser.  It would be better to print out the different HTML depending on browser server side, as it would mean lesser page size, and wouldn't affect non JS people.

-  Page size at 80kb seems a little too large, you might want to think about relying more on your style sheet, theres still a lot of repeated HTML code you can get rid of.

-  Bottom copyright notice needs cleaning up a bit, if you can, try to keep it all on one line, same font size and font.  If you can't keep to one line, shape it like a pyramid centered in it's cell, it would probably look better.

- Not sure about the links at the top going red when the mouse hovers over them, doesn't show up clearly enough.  Maybe think about making the box they belong to change colour?

The things I liked about it:

- Looks very proffesional and clean
- Content is concise
- Image styles are consistent
- Products are easy to find

In short, a fantastic looking site, but you need to trim page sizes down.

Are you really trying to take credit for creating L.L.Bean's website??? That's one of the largest mail-order cataloge companies in the United States...and you made their website as a "college project"?

I don't think he's claiming to have created it. He's assembling a critique of the site.

Thats exactly it. Not creating it, just reviewing it.

Anyone know any websites that I could use to analyse the performance of this website?
