Well I dont really like frames, the site could be done in tables, but that would take massive amounts of work. I also dont like how the frames are resizable... The first page (main frame) looks pretty good, but I would somehow align your logo to the left. I also think you should add some white to the custom toolbar, maybe the arrows.. Lastly for now I would make your headers on your nav frame bigger than the links, that way they stick out.

Overall good job on this project, and good luck with it in the future.

Thanks for the ideas, I will change the nav headers tomorrow for sure! Never really thought about it before

I'll take a look at the toolbar - *presume you meant scroll bar yeh?... and I'll see what it looks like with white arrows

As for the frames I am having trouble with them myself - one of the main reasons I came here

Search engines tend not to like the frames because .... well to be honest I dunno why they dont but I wanna lose them.....

I use Easyspace as my domain/webspace supplier and they are pretty good - everything I need is there - but they insist on having a small banner load on every page

This is not usually a problem but with frames it means there are three banners loading in total - one on the left frame, one on the right frame, and one in the mainframe. Because there buttons are animated they can take time to load

If I set it out in tables would I have to allow the tables to reload on every page, or could I run them the same as frames, where the page being loaded appears in the mainframe? That make any sense?

Sorry for all the questions

I appreciate your feedback ..................

I changed the nav headers to make them stand out more but don't know if I picked the correct colors or not.... I added white to the scroll bar arrows too but then I realised I would have to add white to every pages scroll bar and I cant be arsed right now

I'll make the changes you suggested soon :P

So you are not using a style sheet? If you were you would only need to call that file, like scrollbar.css and it would change on all pages each time you changed that file.

I love things like this and use many of them. Saves me a lot of time and aggravation.

I also started using SSI's for often updated areas like menus, headers and footers.

Pretty soon I expect I will use shortcuts like this for everything

I am not a big fan of frames, so yeah. Also I dont get the need for an "entrance page."

**izzystradlin** · 12-07-2002, 05:37 PM

the reason for the entrance page, in my opinion, was that because i have so many links, and so much stuff going on on the main page, i thought having the entrance page kinda slowed the site down a bit.........anyone else think i should lose it? please be honest
