Hi, I've started redesigning my website to make it look a bit more professional. It's not finished yet, but well on it's way. I'd be interested in knowing what you all think. http://www.tegart.com/software Thanks, |

Lookin good. Your Splash screen takes a while to load (Nice looking animated gif file, but I know some people really hate splash screens) Your Left Hand Side Frame needs to match your Top Frame, (but I bet you are alread working on that). In fact, you might think of throwing out the LHS frame, since it only reduplicates the link buttons in the top frame. I really like the look of the navigation frame up top and how the icon changes when there is a mouseover on the button (I don't know how you did that one) Dark blue in text is very hard to see on low quality screens.
Keep it up! Revelator! ------------------ |

Thanks Revelator for the constructive criticism. I don't mind at all, it only helps me make it better. |

How about changing the font from the default Times New Roman to something else. One line of CSS would do it. I guess it's personal opinion but I do think something like Verdana looks more professional. ------------------ |

Hi Rowan, I actually wanted to change the font. But I don't know anything about style sheets. Can you give a quick tutorial? Brian |

I was actually thinking of writing a CSS tutorial but until I do, I hope the following will help. You have 2 options. Either include style sheet definitions in every page between <STYLE> tags in the header, or include an external CSS file. On my own homepage I use an external style sheet so I can completely change the look of the site without touching any HTML. Putting the following in the <HEAD> section will import a CSS file called main.css (http://rowanseymour.members.beeb.net/main.css - best viewed in notepad) <LINK HREF="main.css" REL="stylesheet" MEDIA="screen" TYPE="text/css"> A typical CSS statement has the following form: HTML-TAG { selector: value; selector: value; ... } eg. P { Tells the browser that all <P> elements in the page should be displayed with Verdana, at size x-small, in color #111111. Strangely text in table cells does not inherit thse properties so <TD> and <TH> should be included as well: td, th { Take a look at my CSS file or if you have Dreamweaver 3+ try its CSS functions. Good luck ------------------ [This message has been edited by rowanseymour (edited June 10, 2001).] |

http://www.zvon.org/xxl/css1Reference/Output/index.html is a really good CSS reference. Btw, one of the coolest thing CSS does is A:hover { A:hover is what is known as a pseudo-class of <a>. Gives links a mouse over color. ------------------ |
