I like them; they're smooth, colorful and vibrant. The interface is a little small on one or two of them though.

By the way, http://manics.home.sapo.pt/primeira.htm is called "Untitled Document", you might want to change that

Similiar problems with the others

They look good, I reely like the current one like a lot of people have alraedy mentioned and Barefoottech is right about the loading time it is a bit long as for the rest of the stuff I didn't examine the pages that much (just a quick look around) so I don't know but it is good advice.

When using web tracking you will notice that about 50% of internet users still use 800X600 so try to comansite for both (1024X768)

Your sites are very clean and they do load fast even on dial up ---

Your site is easy to navigate and the colors work well together ---

Great Job!!

You're a very good web designer yes. I love the layouts, colours and everything.

However, you're not a very good web programmer to be honest. You shouldn't be using tables to position layout, only for displaying tabular data. It's much better to use divs and css to position your layout. It makes changing things so much more easier. try :

Hope that helps, but keep up the excellent designs

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using tables to position your layout

hey, i'm changing swiftly to css layouts, but it takes a bit. i'm still learning the business of css. i got the book - designing with web standarts - and others in pdf i consult regularly, but it's a slow process. But o i do prefer css layouts true, but i still use tables now and then.

My code is awfull, and a mess, i still got do to some progress here. The best part for me is try to put new site layout ideas on pixels, thats the thrill. I love the creative part, so i also do graphic part of my marketing papers. the cards, the envelopes, papers, all sorts. and i would love some desig classes, but no moment for the money .

keep it coming

w3c disagrees. Tables aren't very flexible and css/divs do a much better job not to mention more code being used for tables and therefore longer loading times. You're supposed to go back to how html was originally designed for. seperating structure from style and that's what css and divs allow. Tables should only be used to display tabular data, that is of course if you care about web standards. On the other hand there's nothing stopping you using tables, it's entirely up to you.

I agree also, the designing is so much better than the coding

Not sure if it's broken . . .

Hi!

First, I want to congratulate you on your beautiful design work. I particularly like the colors and transparancy effect in v.1.1.

However, while the first four links you have posted display beautifully on my computer, the last one (the one you're currently using) is not good at all. I think that this is a browser compatibility issue rather than a design issue, since your other designs are so good. I am running Firefox v. 1.0.5 on Mac OS X v. 1.3. I have attached a screenshot of that design's appearance on my browser.

If it is a design choice, rather than a browser issue, than here are my problems with the design: page sections are out of alignment, text is extremely difficult to read (light grey on white), graphical link/ads have too much prominence, and the text "Link back to me!" is illegible, among other issues.

However, I just want to repeat my congratulations on your other designs: they're truly beautiful.

I quite like you designs- they're simple and classy. And that's a very good combination. (:

No it won't hurt your design as such but as I said some tables can have extremely complex code and therefore reduce loading times. Especially for narrowband users. Also like I said it isnt very flexible, there's not much you can do with a table once it's there even with css. Whereas css and divs are incredibly flexible.

Do you actually have any content in your outer div? other than that I can't see a problem with the code. For example:

<div id="outer">
<p>Hello world</p>
</div>
