Goldfactory Update

The site is far is going well, and is very nearly there. Just need to tweak a few things, sort out cross browser problems and get confirmation from our client Paul before we finish it entirely.

Due to a lot of PNG-24 images needed in the layout, file sizes are getting quite large so we have sacrificed the idea of replacing the font with the handwriting style as this will slow the website down even more.

After reading a few hints and tips from nettuts+ I have put javasript for lightbox at the bottom of the page to combat loading times and also used header tags rather than paragraph tags to hopefully increase SEO results.

For editing purposes we have used an include php statement so Paul can edit the page without coming into contact with HTML. This basically extracts text from a text file and puts it where you have specified. Obviously it would be better to have something more swish like what Will's group have got but as there isn't much text and editing shouldn't need to be done that regularly this will be fine.
