No I don't like the font, but I haven't really found one that kind of tickles my fancy. Will be experimenting with them in a few days. I never knew that you could put margins at auto with .css.

laurie_m · 2008-05-03 20:45:31

Code: css

body {

  margin: 0 auto;

  padding: 0;

  text-align: center;

  font: 11px/15px Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

        color: #555558;

}

#page {

  margin: 0 auto;

        padding: 0;

        width: 770px;

        color: #000000;

        text-align: center;

        border-left: 2px solid #404040;

        border-right: 2px solid #404040;

}

#header {

}

#topbar{

  margin: 0 auto;

        padding: 0 20px 0 0;

  width: 770px;

  font: 10px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

        font-weight: bold;

  background: #333333;

  height: 22px;

        text-align: right;

        color: #ffffff;

        }

#banner {

  margin: 0 auto;

        padding: 0;

  width: 770px;

  height: 150px;

        background: #404040 url("images/banner.jpg") no-repeat;

        vertical-align: top;

        border-top: 1px solid #000000;

        border-bottom: 0px solid #ffffff;

}

#bottombar{

  margin: 0 auto;

        padding: 0;

        width: 770px;

  background: #333333;

  height: 18px;

        text-align: right;

}

0 gives you 0px margin at the top and bottom and auto gives you an automatic equal margin at each side. That's how you centre most things with css.

Are you familiar with the W3C School site? http://www.w3schools.com/tags/default.asp http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_examples.asp

Thank you Laurie.
Yes I am familiar with the w3chools.
My problems with the site started with the w3 validation. When I had it done it said to take out the word "center" and I did that but forgot to put it in the .css so it kind of threw everything to the left.
I fixed it up somewhat last night and uploaded it today. The information you gave is is truuley valuable and I appreciate all your help. (Like your font much better too) Janina

laurie_m · 2008-05-04 15:47:18

Ah, yes! That looks better!

Maybe your font size could be a little smaller. The size you have on the other site might be the go.

Regards,
Laurie.

applause storstark
Looking good now tummenupp

ninak · 2008-05-04 19:18:09

Thanks Guys. Gee and I did it with the help of two angels and no super duper one and only designer. Go figure.
About the size of the font, currently I'm having a bit of a problem reading it when it is smaller so again mind forgets that other people do not have this problem and I forget (senior moments to put things back before I upload. Will fix shortly. Thank you both again and again.
(Funny someone hasn't been back to do a re review )

ColoEagle · 2008-05-04 22:03:43

oooh I get to pick again. tongue

You have the word eyes misspelled in your footer copyright line.

ninak · 2008-05-05 21:12:44

Okay. Took out one eye. Did navigation a bit differently. Changed font syle and size. Hope this is a bit more interesting. Now I'm going bath and book then knock of for the night. Night you all.

Menu should have "Home" selected rather than "Hosting" (and it doesn't change = even
if one click on different menu item "Hosting" stays selected) ...

PayPal banner is 468x60 pixels ... Don't shrink it cause it looks bad, especially text on it!
Try to switch between "Home" and "Policy" on lower menu to see it resize (it should not)
It might be better if you center full sized PayPay banner and put that other one under it,
centered too ... and set border of that other one to 0px or change border color to same color
(light grey) you use for border on main box (where your main text goes) ...

ColoEagle · 2008-05-06 09:46:53

The way you had it before looked good but I have to say I like this new look even better.

Yup, you need to change the id=current for the pages to the correct page being viewed.

ninak · 2008-05-06 10:08:10

Thanks guys. It went too easy so I knew that I would goof it someplace. Yours eyes is just what I needed. Janina

laurie_m · 2008-05-06 19:53:54

G'day again Ninak.

You've got a site that looks good and is fully functional.

How do you plan to get your traffic?

If you're hoping for traffic from the SEs, then your lack of SEO will likely let you down.

It's my guess, without knowing the details, that the site builder programme is the main obstacle. You may need to trash the programme and start again from scratch, if SE traffic is in your plan.

However, you had it much better, before. Maybe all you need is to go back to the earlier set-up and make some better choices regarding your use of keywords.

Give us a hoy if you'd like a more detailed explanation.

Hope you don't feel crushed by this. It's just how it is.

Regards,
Laurie.

ninak · 2008-05-06 20:22:14

I did trash the site builder program. There goes another thing that I forgot to put back in. One of these days I will get my act together. Thanks Laurie and all.

laurie_m · 2008-05-06 22:31:23

G'day Ninak.

The use of position absolute in the style sheet may not be such a good idea. Open your home page, hold down Ctrl and hit + a few times. You'll see what I mean.

Regards,
Laurie.

How many people actually do that? Just because something might not work properly one
should not limit his own design so it must work properly for just about anyone ... This include
JavaScript, keyboard shortcuts, <alt> and <title> tags ... From my searches (and server logs)
about 5% of surfers actually don't have JS enabled and I believe less than 5% have images
disabled or prefer messing with keyboard instead of mouse ... Sacrificing design and going
through numerous troubles just to allow those 5% to get what they want? NO THX ;o)

SoraCross · 2008-05-07 21:57:07

I think it looks okay. it could use maybe a boarder around the whole thing, and it's not centered in Firefox 3.0.5 beta. I also think you should add policy and sitemap to the top navigation bar and get rid of the bottom one. I would say 6.5/10.

jasiel · 2008-05-13 18:00:43

I love the blue eye logo and the matching light blue background. I also like that it is easy to navigate and doesn't have lots of extra and unnecessary information.

I suggest you make 3 changes:

1. Remove or improve the Resellers Panel banner on the footer because it is blurry and just ruins the appearance of the site.

2. In the Hosting page, add the prices of the main hosting plans and then below that put the more info button and do the same for the Design page, add the prices of the main design services and then below put a more info button.

3. In the Design page, put the sample styles in a seperate "Sample Designs" page linked to the Deisng page and add a request a quote button or link in the Design Packages page.

I wish you luck and success!

ninak · 2008-05-13 20:12:48

Thanks Jasiel,
Will be moving some things around shortly. For the next few days have to leave it alone. Thanks again for your recomendations.
Janina
