Todays SODA goes to the Venture Taranaki site. This great site promotes the area of Taranaki. Table formats are used to present the page contents in an easy to use format. And the big thing is that each page is consistent.
Images are small in file size and correctly anti-aliased to the differing background colours.
Navigation is great with picons and subtle mouse-overs for the top of each page and then text only links at the bottom of each page. Where there are two levels of navigation within a sub-section it's great to see a linear approach to moving through the pages to compliment the more normal dynamic menu system. Content is full and well spread to cover the many aims of the site. The news content is up to date although perhaps a little sparse. Netscape is the less forgiving of the two main popular browsers - ideal for testing pages before the public sees them.
