Testament to _elements_ qualities of speed and ease, here’s me in my mid-eighties creating a new website to replace my previous Classic one – thinking for next year and it’s already done. A short learning curve and a couple of hints from the Forum (thanks folk) and I was away. It’s quite simple but does what I need for now, though I might make a few tweaks later. If you’re interested the URL is: > **[Welcome to Colin Alcock books and stories](https://colinalcock.co.uk/)** And I’d welcome any criticisms or advice – I know I should improve my SEO info. It does still feel that _elements_ is still in beta, and thus a tad expensive for single use, but it does do “what it says on the tin”. ---

“Old codger in his elements” 🤣 Looks great, it does everything you need it to do AND I love that it is simple to navigate with everything being easy to find. I get fed up of trying to navigate ‘noisy’ sites. Got a bit too distracted reading a sample chapter (great idea) and I have things to do - must crack on! Anyway, well done you! ---

Great job, just a couple of minor issues on the iPhone the menu cannot be scrolled when open to max see link to sort [https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/mobil-menu-scrolling/48241/4?u=upssjw](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/mobil-menu-scrolling/48241/4) On desktop the menu is to wide and ends up links being hidden on certain screen width, see video ---

Thanks for the videos, Steve - I’ll address those issues. And make a more comprehensive check next time - when my old brain is functioning properly. ---

Thanks – i agree some websites just try to cram too many links on their pages. Especially bad for phone use. ---
