, with CSS defined as: p.main { text-align: center; position: absolute; width: 600px; top: 20; left: 230; }Another simple question: Is there a simple way to get spacing between say, two images (like the buyers and sellers images on the page) without actually positioning each one using CSS?By the way, it would be much appreciated if people with browsers other than IE6 on a PC could give me some feedback on how this looks. I am planning on obtaining more views myself, but just haven't had the time. | | | | | | Post | | | | | |

Elitists often say there is no replacement for quality straight html coding. This is what I know and what I've been using. I'd like to learn programs like Dreamweaver and GoLive because it seems that tedious coding can be done much more easily. Do a lot of people utilize the slice tool in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator? What's the best way of going about that? Do you just set up your layers exactly as you want them and slice out wherever you want links? Is this a common approach? Thanks all! | | | | | | Read 1 - Post | | | | | |

It's always the same deal: they come to the site looking for information on one of our games, and just get lost. I've been playing around with the way information is presented -- but I can't seem to step back far enough to see, with an impartial eye, whether or not the editing I've done will actually help. Any comments are, of course, greatly appreciated. ( And now, the Stats.Collapse ) Edited to fix the unreadable black text caused by LJ's WYSIWYG editor. Argh. | | | | | | Read 2 - Post | | | | | |

| | Hi Guys, I need a favor. My boyfriend Scott's been working with a designer on his new web site and I would like your honest feedback so we can incorporate it before he finalizes the design. Scott worked on this for hours and hours tonight and thought he was finally done. He was really hoping I would give it a big thumbs up, but I couldn't. I know how important this is to him, and I really want it to be representative of him; professional, attractive, and a good marketing tool that will help him sell his music and talent. I have some complaints with the site, and I can't pretend that I don't -- not huge complaints -- I think it can be improved tremendously with a few changes. It kills me that in giving Scott my honest feedback I disappointed him and hurt his feelings. I love him so much, but I think he may have kind of cluttered it up and the designer, wanting to please his client, may have gone along with some ideas he might not have originally chosen. I had seen a simpler outline, a snapshot of what the site was going to look like, and I liked it. I mean I wouldn't choose these colors and style for myself, but for Scott it's cool. He needs to convey that a lot of the songs on the album are reggae so the colors make sense for this. I respect your taste and opinions so much, and I just honestly want to know what you think. If you have the time, and feel like being generous and helpful to a fellow struggling artist, who really needs a good site to showcase his work, would you look over his site and give us some feedback? We won't hold it against you in any way, and would in fact be super appreciative. If you think it's fabulous as is, we want to know that. If you think it just needs a little work, then we want to know that. If you hate it, then hard as that might be for Scott to face, then we need to know that.I'd like to know what you think of the bold strokes and the smaller ones. I'm particularly interested in what you think about the lion imagery and the photographs of Scott, are there some pictures that you do and some pictures that you do not like? If so what are they? Are there any graphic images on the site that appeal or do not appeal to you? What about the navigation? What about the text? I could just really use another eye here because without a second and a third opinion I can't convince Scott that there are some areas of this site that are kind of graphically unprofessional, if that makes any sense. I know I'm asking a lot, so I'll appreciate any feedback you'd be generous enough to give. I wish I could just come out and say, "I don't like the image of the sad clowny face on page three, what do you think?" because that's what I'd do, but Scott thinks I am being hyper-critical and I don't want to direct your attention to the few things I don't like because maybe I am being too hard on this. I'd rather get your unbiased opinions.
_Okay, now this isn't a great picture of Scott, but this is the idea, to remove an element of color leaving part of the image in black and white. I liked this effect._One thing I'm realizing that we're missing here is what drew us to this designer in the first place; his use of color hilighted against parts of the image where he had removed the color, leaving these areas in black and white. I want to show you what I mean but I can't find the link, in the meantime here's a link to the web site Daniel, (the designer), designed for his sweet girlfriend, Jill Marie. I'm wondering why they chose not to do the cool black and white thing on Scott's site when this was the main thing we liked about his work to begin with... Oh and I'm also noticing that Scott's music isn't playing when you go to the site. I wonder why they chose not to do that. Hmm... Anyway, if you'd like to take a stab at this, we would be so grateful.Big loving hugs,Jacqui and Scott | | |

I've been playing around with web design for a few years now. Most of my sites have been for television shows and mostly related to fanfiction. However I do have two sites that I created for people for other reasons. Title: Professional Management ServicesURL: http://www.promgmsrv.com/Target Audience: Management Consulting for Direct Mail, Fulfillment, and Printing Businesses. This is a site that I created for my father for his consulting work. The site is made with XHTML and CSS only. The newsletter is actually the software from Movable Type blogs. I just formatted the "blog" to be used as a newsletter page. ***Title: Rachel Miner CentralURL: http://www.rachelminercentral.com/Target Audience: Fan's of the actress Rachel Miner This is a site I put together for a friend of mine who wanted a new site for the actress. Again this site was created with XHTML and CSS only. | | | | | | Post | | | | | |

I tried using CSS for this, but I could not get it to work properly. The problem I had was that the right side kept going behind the left side when previewed in IE. How can I use CSS effectively to distribute things on the left and right sides of the page. Thanks!CROSS POSTED EVERYWHERE!Website: RedLine Paintballs | | | | | | Post | | | | | |

My name is Jasmine. I am 18 and have been doing basic web pages for about 3 years. I haven't really advanced any, I don't know CSS. I feel like I really need help on my web site. It's for a customs shop. They do everything car, and I feel like I need more direction. I don't like the way the site looks at all, and I know it needs more graphics, but I have no idea how to do them and make them look good. Any tips or criticism would be greatly appreciated. I feel I need all the help I can get. So, here's the site.Bad Boyz Customs | | | | | | Read 6 - Post | | | | | |

Really, the site is just a place for me to store my icons for others to take. It was made in Notepad & Adobe Photoshop 7.0. I've tested it in Mozilla Firebird and in IE something. It's intended for those who use online journals & userpics...so I guess it's mostly angsty teenagers who want to post emo lyrics and pictures of themselves looking to the side and looking 'artsy'. This is just a preview page. Most of the links will lead to 404 errors. I'm not entirely sure if I want to go ahead with this design or not, and I want some advice on it before I redo the whole site in it. The URL is here:http://icons.headkablooie.com/hello.htmlIs it hard on the eyes? Is there anything wrong? Also, can someone explain to me why my nested ULs are keeping the page from being valid? | | | | | | Read 3 - Post | | | | | |
