wannabepcgeek Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well me and my dad thought of this silly idea 'Michael Recycle' and i have made a first pagehttp://x10.890m.comit is 2nd try.htmI made it using just HTML and a bit of CSS (I did it not my dad)I know its basic & btw the hyperlinks dont work deliberately.just a home page really which would start off the site.Just started web coding as well.What do you think as a first page? All criticism welcome. This is purely a test page however we are considering getting a .com or .co.uk domain-Using http://000webhost.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Argh too bright! My eyes actually hurt looking at it . So, first, change the backgrounds to something softer, and cooler.Move the navigation bar up the top - with your number of links, it could be horizontal.A more descriptive explaination of exactly what the site is about, right at the top, would help visitors understand how they can benfit from the site. E.g. what is the "Michael Recycle" song exactly?San-serif fonts are better for on-screen content such as web pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabepcgeek Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 its really meant as a silly bit of fun. i have tried putting an image as the background in CSS, put in the right code definitely, but didnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You could use a premade HTML/CSS navbarar. You will add there all your navigation links. [Examples] Oh.. use Verdana as font! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synook Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Don't forget to name the home page index.htm - also, try not to have spaces in your file names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synook Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Having the menubar floated to the left would be nice :)Sans-serif fonts would also be recommendable.If you have time you could also think about a graphic banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
