One more review?

**dpatty** · 10-06-2002, 09:27 PM

I have changed just about everything that relates to the design of my site. Hopefully it will meet with more approval this time

Many of the pages off the main page have not been completed. Don't be surprised if they look really horrible.

Thanks xtravel

It must be quite abit more appealing, I've gotten several advetising inquiries since the update. Not enough to quit my day job (darn it) but enough to begin to hope....

yes it is more appealing than your last design, i really love the images you used for the sections, and the colors seem to be nice.

good improvement, keep up the good work

The site looks good. Keep up the good work.

And I really like the hand helping itself to the FREE F!

it looks good, you might want to add a little emboss to your section headers to make not so 'flat'. You also might want to get rid of the space at the top of the page. It kinda throughs me off.

also, you might want to add some copyright info etc on the bottom

IMHO

I guess I never notice the h. Sorry about that ghettocars.

I'm going to play around with the section graphics. I have a ton of them to make, I just as well get the base embossed now before I go any futher.

The space above the site was CSS mishap. I'm still new to CSS so I'm sure it's just one of many to come. I'll be fixing it as soon as I'm done here

Thanks

Something that you might think about for your section graphics to make it a lot easier to do is :

----------------------------------------------------
Make three graphics for all the section headers that are the same height.

One for the Left, One for the Main area, and One for the Right.

Then go make a table for as a template for all your sections.

ex::

++++++++++++++

<table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="11" background="left.gif"> </td>
<td width="575" background="main.gif"><div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">Section
Header Graphic Goes Here.</font></div></td>
<td width="14" background="right.gif"> </td>
</tr>
</table>

++++++++++++++

then just create a graphic or type the text that you want on it with one color for the back (probably want a gif with transparent background). Put that in the middle cell and center it. There you have an easier section header.

ex::

Sample

It adds some speed to the page because it only downloads three graphics plus the one for the section. Then each section you make it only needs to download the extra word graphic to display it.

Note :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

If you print out a page in with this on there it will only print the text graphic unless they have the 'print backgrounds' option on in there browser options.
With this in mind think about what color you want yout text on your headers. If they print it out is the text going to print like you want it?
