My first site...

[silverman567]

I'm currently developing my first site - I have no programming knowledge really, just adlibing!

Its at MyBackpack.co.uk

It's very much work in progress - would be good to have some constructive criticism regarding design,layout etc.

Don't bother clicking on Book a Hostel, Get Insurance, or Book a Tour - those links are not ready.

well, a couple things. The green at the bottmo doesnt seem to match at all with your other colors. And I would consider putting it in a table, and centering it. You can look up tutorials on tables and stuff on google. If that is what i think it is, thats a great idea!

I like it, I actually think I might bookmark this for when you develop it completely... That being said, I agree with iDevise: I don't like the green at the bottom. If I were you I would make it the same color as the title graphic. And maybe make the bottom text smaller, or maybe all of the text smaller, although I tend to like small text. And on the bar on the left, some of the boxes that aren't links change color when the mouse is over it, and that's kind of annoying. Good job though.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

ya, that idea should spread soon, its really good, kinda like geo caching.

Like the others said, the green doesn't match up with the website's colors. What's up with the "advertising" link's table being so stretched out? I would also add a border around the navigation, footer and images. A new font color when the mouse is taken over the navigation buttons would be nice. I would get rid of the underlines at the bottom, as well. A few changes could improve the website greatly.

 

[iDeviseFlash]

yes, i think that Mr's suggestions will take your site to being good to very nice, cant wait to see it develop. Good Luck!

 

[Mr. Websites]

Oh damn, I forgot to mention- it's not bad for your first website! :tu:

 

[iDeviseFlash]

lol, thats normally the first thing :p

 

[Mr. Websites]

Well I made it my last. :p
Hey, at least I didn't forget (for long).

 

[cutterofcloth]

Just checking up...I see you have a new graphic. The bottom is still green though

 

[Mr. Websites]

Yeah, we all recommended changing the green color. Let's see what silverman567 says when he gets back.

 

[silverman567]

Well I've made a few modifications, thanks guys. My only problem, still, is that I cant get the nav bars etc. to line up - sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt. Is the problem with the php files, or the html files used by the php files - help!!

 

[oblivious]

You need to try to align the menu and link sections with the top and bottom. Also, I'd make the text a bit smaller (8-10px) and I would use verdana. Also you might want to customize the scrollbar

 

[cutterofcloth]

Yuck, frontpage code. I'm glad you changed the green on the bottom. I'm not sure why your nav bars won't line up. I blame frontpage

 

[simpson733]

thats not bad for your first time i remembered my first time look like a screwed up picture

 

[iDeviseFlash]

yay :tu: he fixed it all. looks great, now just center it all in a table and youll be fine!

 

[silverman567]

Thanks alot everybody!

 

[iDeviseFlash]

[Mr. Websites]

Yeah, still hasn't come back online.
