Hi Emily,
This is quite nice stuff. I'm glad that someone is making the effort to
make a responsive page without overdesigning things. Far too many pages
are very difficult to read on mobile devices.
In my browser (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:30.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0), the text appears in a very light gray that
is quite difficult to read against the white background. I don't know
quite why this is.
On my phone (Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Mobile; rv:30.0) Gecko/30.0
Firefox/30.0), the column widths are a bit rough -- the text in the left
column is quite narrow, and one piece of the right column overruns the
column width and causes horizontal scrolling. There is also a long
vertical gap in the left column before reaching the end of the
two-column section. Overall, I got the initial feeling that the
two-column stuff was all unimportant gunk (not true, of course) that I
had to scroll past to get to the real content. I think maybe the
sidebar material could be moved to the end of the page?
This is only commentary on the front page. I haven't yet taken a look
at other pages.
Regards,
Jon
