Looking good. :)

I would just say that 63 requests / 2.35 MB is a heavy home page load! Also I'm getting 15 or so 404s from JS, CSS and image files.

It's a nice and easy to navigate.

I'm guessing this is in Ghana??? I couldn't find anywhere on the site what country the school is in. One of those omissions of being to close to something.

Good to see some quality web development going on in/for institutions in West Africa.

Nice site, although it takes way too long to load for me, maybe check the size of the pngs and js?

Also just out of interest, what did you use to do the js image fades? I implemented this a while ago but it had to be done completely separate to Drupal, and would be especially interested if you managed to make it so that the images are called from a folder (i.e. all images in a folder fade in and out).

thanks for the compliment..
i will check the sizes of the images,
the javascript image fader was a class that was called in the page.tpl.php
So the javascript file is kinda independent of drupal. i am thinking of writing a drupal module to do that.

Sounds like you did it the

Sounds like you did it the same way as I did. The one thing I wish I'd changed about my implementation (www.rallypower.net/rpm) is that you have to define the images in the page.tpl.php file as an unordered list. It'd be a lot easier for future modifications if they could just be uploaded to a directory.

I used an extra for JQuery called Inner Fade. Since JQuery is part of Drupal maybe a module can be easily developed?

Great website.
I too am glad to see great West African web design.

Maybe we can team up to work on some projects together.
Currently I'm constructing a Drupal based website for the Ethiopian Embassy in the Ivory Coast.

Check Out My Site, and if your are interested in a collaborative venture or just want to drop a line just contact me on the site.

You know how Ghanaians network, maybe our families have crossed paths.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
