Visually your colours are wrong. The dark grey makes the orange difficult the read. Try a pale blue or green background with black letters.

That's a lot better. Next step is produce the initial menu for users to choose from.

John, Ralph,

Constructive feedback, I hope:
The initial header looks fine to me on a laptop with big enough screen.
Is it legible enough for Smartphone users, though? I don't have one so am unable to test.....
Designing pages that work equally well in landscape format on a big screen and in portrait format on a tiny screen does present extra challenges!

One other comment for now - this thread is currently under 'track construction'. Might be worth splitting it off and locating somewhere more suitable ("Reaching a wider audience?")

The black on white at the bottom is completely legible but the red on green grey is a bit "squinty". I have composed the initial contents page which we can now publish. I admit I like the blue hibiscus flower but something more suitable perhaps???

Ralph,
I have replaced the blue flower logo with a view of Monkton Priors!

HOWEVER, something strange is happening.....with IE11 it displays as it should BUT with Google Chrome, the "ghost" of the blue flower is lingering (in the form of a "missing image" tag).
I have cleared the Chrome cache but it is still there ..... don't have time to delve into it now.....what do you see when you sign in?

Regards,
John.

Have got rid if the "ghost" by replacing image with a 1 x 1 pixels transparent image named blue-flower.jpg
It's still there but you can't now see it.!

I often read this forum on my phone. I usually just zoom into a desktop page and the most recent banner is very legible.

Thanks to all for the comments and feedback.

I have been meaning to split the topic for a couple of days but haven't got around to it.

Have been awake since 4am (for third day in a row) so am not feeling my "brightest" at the moment but will deal with it later.

Regards,
John.

OK, I have put in two simple articles to allow us to see if we like it.

No, I am using FireFox and I still have the blue flower?

Should anyone else be able to see it? Or just you and John for now?
I just reloaded the page, but see only the header still.

Andrew,

You "should" be able to see this here?

It seems to work for me? But then I have admin level power....
