Hi to you all
I'm just about to launch a new product here in the UK and have got this far by begging and borrowing grants from universities. I'm now down to my last pennies, so i decided to build the website myself but am now unsure of a few things. They are :
1. The site is very background image intensive. I get browser errors as the table heights don't transpose too well in Firefox. I use Photoshop CS and Dreamweaver MX 2004.
2. I need to embed a forum into the site somewhere and would relish the oppurtunity to get a designer from this site to create the necessary functionality. Perhaps i'll post a new thread with a competition to whoever can create the best. This is my first post so i'll find my feet first, see what responses i get to this thread.
3. The contact page looks awful in Firefox as the images wrap horizontally and i've tried many things in Dreamweaver to get rid of this, even the "No wrap" tick box
Basically, i've self taught myself how to do graphics and web design and now put my hands up as to how far i can progress the site. I haven't the time nor the inclination to learn how to code php, css, c++, vb, iou, NASA, asap, etc, etc so would like to pass the baton on to whoever wants to take on the challenge.
I believe this product will reach the dizzy heights of iPod as we will be having talks with them later this year but was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this forum on my internet travels. I get a feeling that the demographic audience of this forum is exactly our target audience, so what better way to build the next generation tuition device by getting young web designers found here to add their own flavour and creativity.
ps. i tried to post in the website review thread but you need to have made 3 reviews, one a week. Can't wait 3 weeks
Anyway, i'm open to questions and look forward to the responses.
