Web designers LOOK!

[COKE CAN]

Hey guys!

I have finally found something that really tickles my fancy with photography; PAINTBALL! I shot my first tournament and loved it! Anyways, I have a server with a good amount of space running a couple forums, but I am not good with webdesign. I was hoping someone could help me out with a site...? It doesn't have to be completely extensive, just something that I could easily add Photoshop galleries to. Chrono300 here has something similar to what I am talking about here: www.chrono300.com (http://www.chrono300.com). Any help would be appreciated!

Dang, that's not good! lol

Loads semi-quick for me at work....

I'm looking for something that keeps the menu on the side and a graphic at the top and when you change through the menu only the center section changes. I hope I explained that right. I am just no good at HTML/etc.

First off you should definitely look at a better way to possibly list the different events and also compress the photos a bit more. We are on a T1 and it is loading slowly, someone on a modem wouldn't wait. There are too many photos so maybe look at some text based navigation.

Secondly your idea of just the center section moving is done with frames and just don't do it. Frames make your site invisible to search engines and therefore it makes it hard for people to find you.

Besides that I think it looks pretty good and the montages look nice. Especially for your first site. Somebody once told me, remember what websites are for. They exist to pass information, anything that gets in the way of that is useless. Just some food for thought.

www.chrono300.com (http://www.chrono300.com) is not my site. I was just making reference to his site. Anyways, his site shows up fine on Google, lol. I have a guy designing a site for me starting this week. I will post it up and see what you alol think.
