Very smart! :D I hope the charity are pleased with their site, they should be. The sign up form doesn't seem to give the price. Is there a plan for handling the reoccurring fee? Maybe sell it a bit more? Make it clear what extra you get - maybe mark the paid-for menu options appropriately?

Did you test those hover menus with a touch screen device (which has no concept of hover)?

Thanks for the feedback Paul, much appreciated.

I'm mulling over the best solution for the touch/hover problem.
I think it's ok to initially click the top level item to trigger the dropdown but the user must then click the drop down item twice, not ideal...any suggestions?

Nice spot on the subscription price, complete oversight.
I will get the admins working on some nicer copy for this page.

The recurring fee is handled by PayPal but sadly the FEU must be created or extended manually. It no longer appears possible (without a huge amount of work) to hook up the PayPal auto feed to FEU...

Thanks again,

Gareth.

You're welcome. My only suggestion is to increase the size of the footer and repeat the links in that; easy to then click to another page when you have reached the bottom of the one you're on.

Thanks for the info about FEU recurring payments, good to know.
