I just spent the last three days rewriting my website and have finally got it up and (I hope) working correctly. What I would like is for some of you to view it and give me some feedback as to how it appears in your browsers on your system. The link is: web page Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Nice. Some of the images open in new windows, some in the same. And, frames, ugh. But why is this in the Flameboard?

Well, I may was well throw out the first bomb.
MAPS!!!

While I am a firm believer in links-that-look-like-links, if you're doing a left-hand menu look, you don't need to have all the entries be in the standard blue underline format. In fact, you should change it. A list full of underlined items looks really, really horrible.
Also, anything but Times New Roman. Please. For the love of god.

Agreed. Arial will suit you just fine.

OK, I am new at website design (obviously) what exactly do you mean by MAPS!? And I didn't use frames. It was all done with nested tables. I have about 30 hours in on this.

Looks good in Firebird, if that's of any use to you. You could do without the standard underlined blue links, though. CSS will work wonders. And given your interface you might consider inline frames, but that's more useful if your navbar doesn't change between pages.

The "portfolio" section would look better if the background images weren't located on your F: drive.

CRAP....I knew I was getting too blurry eyed.

Ok, I think I have it fixed and the slideshow on the homepage working properly.

The left navigation bar extends more than a thousand pixels down even though there are no entries in the td's. At least in IE 6.0.
Using tables to structure your site isn't a very good idea anyway. Better than frames, yes, but still problematic in some cases.
Try to use css (cascading stylesheets). They really make for easy structuring that looks good on most "modern" browsers, i.e. Netscape /MSIE 4.0 and above as well as Mozilla, Opera and Konqueror. Don't know about Mac users.
Also, css make maintaining a consistant look across the whole site a lot easier.
