Severe Weather Page - Suggestions Please??

[Rob Lightbown]

I was wondering if you could take a look at our Severe Weather Page and see if you can make any suggestions?? I'm trying to set up a severe weather page where one can get a lot of the information that is out there in one spot and in a way I'm trying to gear it towards both the general public and also chasers, both in the field and armchair chasers. Thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Note to Mods: If I have placed this post in the wrong spot, I apologize in advance and you are welcome to move or delete it.

It's a nice idea but I wouldn't use it, at least while out chasing. My connection through AT&T is equal to dial-up speed, sometimes slower. With the amount of graphics you have on a single page it would either take forever to load or not load at all.

A better idea would be to eliminate the graphics and use text links to the product, that way the page will load much faster.

I would agree with cutting down on the amount of graphics on the homepage, it takes a long time to load all of the images. Maybe put most of the graphics in handy links so all you have to do is open the graphics you want? But otherwise I like the website and how handy it is to use all of the links and forecast models at the top of the page.

Thanks for the input Joey and Ryan!! I have just put together a text only severe weather page. The link is http://www.crownweather.com/severetxt.html

So, now there is a graphic intensive hi-fi and text only lo-fi severe weather page.
