i need to create a layout for my site

**simster** · 04-19-2008, 11:12 PM

this is my planed layout (im just having trouble coding it)

the background of the page is black.
the yellow box on my planed layout is my website banner.
the orange boxes are half of a rounded rectangle image (and both is the same colour)
the red box is the area im putting my navigation menu in.
and the blue box is where the content will be.

the red and blue boxes will be the same colour as the orange boxes to make the layout look nice.

can someone code this layout for me please.

Hi friend, why don't you just modify an existing free template. I ws using to do this when the task was too hard. Just seek for a temlate that have a similair layout and adapt it to your website needs.

I can suggest you to use this website to find free template: http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com . I think that this one may look at what you need: http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/...hardwarestore/

i gave him a Pretty good link i hope he used it Just modify the code ??? off their template!!

You would go better off with modifying a free template. Ako provided you with great sites with resources. If you prefer coding your own, I'll see what I can do. Don't count on it thoug, I'm new into coding.

OP - First, I would recommend using CSS for this layout rather than the tables that you're looking at using. Second, I would listen to the other members that have replied. They have shown you some great tutorials on how to create a layout like that.

If you're concerned about equal height columns in CSS, then I recommend checking out the following links:
