How does everything look? How are the rollovers? Is it a great design? Is it a unique design? Does it look professional? Would you want to come back with a design like this? Does the design draw you into see the rest?

Rollovers look Good, Header also Nice.

Hey

Nice site. Why do you have the title on the top left and on that huge picture? Maybe you could make the mian picture text a bit more clear.

Regarding the rollovers - you can have the same effect using pure CSS - which means the site would load faster and you wouldn't have to rely on javascript.

The "main menu" text seems a little out of place and the title of the page does not reflect what page you are on - in the "title" tags. I was a bit surprised to be launched into a Mambo site...

Coding wise - it looks like a photoshop job. You have no doctype and it is very unlikely you would have valid code: check out validator.w3.org. It is fine to use Imageready but I suggest you take the time to open up the actual HTML and make things valid. Try also using PHP for your template - as you can do global changes easily.

Thanks alot both of you, well although I did use imageready I also did a lot of coding in dreamweaver such as the image rollovers but I didnt know that css could do the same thing. I will have to look at that. Also about the top I plan to make it show where you are it, I just wanted to get the site up first. As far as coding Im not too good at it except for a few knowledge of html, so php is very unknown to me but I will look into it.

Having a php template system is very simply to set up:

Here is a basic example:

top.php

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "stylesheet";</style>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="Your description goes here" />
</head>
<body>

footer.php

Code:

<h6> Footer text </h6>
</body>
</html>

index.php

Code:

<?php include ("top.php"); ?>
<h1>Index</h1>
<?php include ("footer.php");?>

Now that top, footer and index are php files you can have them dynamic and define variables - so for instance top.php could be:

Code:

<?php

$description = 'Index page description';

?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "stylesheet";</style>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $description ?>" />
</head>
<body>

thanks, I will use that for future reference

what doctype should I be running on?

lilgee · Sep 28, 2005

Looks nice, great job on it.

def1 · Sep 28, 2005

thanks, can I get some more reviews?

I.E
It displays fine.

Opera
Displays slightly broken and rollovers don't work.

Firefox & Netscape
Displays completely mangled.

You should really check your site in multiple browsers and multiple resolutions. The above were tested at 1024 x 768

As already said your markups bad. Imageready really wasn't necessary, you could have done that with just a simple text editor such as CrimsonEditor (it has syntax highlighting.) Also it's bad coding practice for your tags to be in uppercase. They should be lowercase so that way it's easier to convert to XHTML should you wish.

Again, it's not valid HTML.

I like the colour scheme and layout you've used however I would change the background image to something less prominent. It begins to hurt your eyes after a while.

I hope that was indepth enough for you to start improving your site.

firefox is totally screwed up i have no idea what happend and rollovers dont seem to work

def1 · Sep 29, 2005

I dont think the rollovers work in firefox because I used css filters, and doesnt only internet explorer support filters? I might have to switch back to regular javascript rollovers for firefox and opera users. I just downloaded mozilla and I have no idea what is going on with it. Im going to try and fix it.

Masahiro · Sep 29, 2005

Looks cool in IE, but it's totally wrecked in Firefox.

And if your site dosen't render properley in Firefox, say goodbye to at least around 30% of your visitors.

def1 · Sep 29, 2005

yea Im fixing it right now

deet · Sep 29, 2005

looks fine in Opera

def1 · Sep 29, 2005

ok I fixed it in mozilla firefox and gave it an opacity filter since I can't find any other filters mozilla uses, ie still has the gray filter tho, does anyone know opera opacity filters?

Im gonna work on the other pages now so that they all display fine in firefox

deet · Sep 29, 2005
