adobe photoshop & illustrator are great programs. pshop for raster and illustrator for vectors. I did graphic design in college but im too swamped with work at the moment to be of much help

I agree with real_illusions I mean you already have the content with those games so what you need now is to just to package it nicely.think about the way your site is branded, what perceptions will people have when they visit it. this makes a huge differencewhat our current logo says to me:difficult to readunbalancedunprofessionalim not trying to offend here, im just giving an honest appraisel of what visitors will think when they visit your site.heres a simple example of another way to make a logowhat this says, clean, fresh and professionalI think your site has good potential. a good domain name etc. you just really need to present it betterhope this helps, good luck

it would say if your password is in correct i think it maybe your hosts problem you should contact them

if it doesnt work can you tell me what the error from smartftp says?

try an ftp client like http://www.smartftp.com/download/ its free

the page will not load for me

heres a few suggestions1) lose the pop-up advertising 2) redesign logo3) lose the frames and links that open new windows4) its very plain some clean nice graphics could make it cool5) instead of a guestbook get a forum, there will be more interaction (reason to stay on the site & people prefer them)6) the font and link colours are not consitent across the site7) change code so the site validateshope this helps

one other thing you can do is the Fahrner Image Replacement techniquebasically in the html you have plain normal text links;<a href="index.php" class="imgreplace">Home</a>then the text is concealed through a stylesheet declaration of display: none and you display an image with the css instead. this way you get the best of both worlds http://www.stopdesign.com/articles/replace_text/

Itts a funny show heres a good episodehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9ijLulwUTY(mods dont know if its ok to post a youtube here if its not ask & i will edit it out)

only had a quick look but it does look like a rip

i think that would be a better layout alright. keep us posted as you develop it

I think you should experiment with fonts first in the logo where you have:which isnt bad but there are some much cooler fonts out there that would suit a clan sitei made this in about 30 seconds with a simple layer style in photoshop. its not great but you get the ideanext thing is body text you have I would try something else maybe like this:the css for that text is:p {font-size: 0.65em;line-height: 14px;color: #cbcbcb;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}hope this helps

you dont have to learn everything. you can concentrate on either design (photoshop/html/css) or development (php/asp/etc.)in the company where i work some of us (like myself) have backgrounds in graphic design. we also have web developers experts in php etc. who just work on that. i got my job by having a good portfolio. the best way to improve in my experience is to just build sites. make personal sites or whatever.

no offense but this is bad advice. read my signiture for multiple reasons why you should not bulk up your html with unessecary tables. try instead: css:.center {margin:0 auto;}html:<div class="center"><img src="..." /></div>

apperently google pretty much ignores link pages nowadays. If you want good rankings good unique content that other sites especially blogs will link to is what you need

this is sound advice. I only have basic knowledge of php myself but includes are great they make my life so so much easier. dont worry too much about the load time, buttons are quite small and most people have broadband nowadays. The only really important reason you might not want to use images for buttons is for search engine optimisation. Often your navigation menu is actually a good place to put your sites keywords. Sure you can use alt tags on the images but it is better for rankings to have text links.

thats looking really good. Its a nice change to see someone here posting a template where they obviously put some effort in to choosing fonts & didnt just go with the default Times Roman. I like the colors too

can you post either the code or a link to the site?

rather than putting this in your html:<div style="text-align:center; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"> </div>have a css class:.center {text-align:center; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;}then you have: <div class="center"></div>whenever you need it

not really Xtazy considering that you would probably only need define it once in css and then just call that class whenever nessecary. probably less code in the long run

yep there will always be one way or another to get themi suppose you would be looking to make it harder for people to download images rather than stopping them outright. look at youtube if people really want to download the videos they can find a way but probably alot of people dont because they dont know.

really easy way:put the images in swf's you could make a flash gallery or something

you really dont need to use absolute positioning to acheive this layout. i think your making this way harder than it needs be.

html: <table id="mytable" cellspacing="0" summary="tabular data about #"><tr><th>heading #</th></tr><tr><td>col #</th></tr></table> Css: #mytable { width: 700px; padding: 0; margin: 0; background: #CCC;}
