I'ts DONE!

My new web site is up and running...after about 2 days of 2am...there she sits

www.trumendousz.com

How does the display look on your computers? How about the load time on those thumbnails on the homepage?

Loaded really fast actually.. really fast.

One suggestion..

The link to the galleries is small and off to the side,. I think for a photo gallery site,. it should be easier to get the the galleries,... perhaps the images could also be links to the gallery?

front door page loads fast enough in Australia - dialup.
it appears over wide page width (non standard, non usual width anyway).
grey background not for me
large gif header/logo files should be used the once on the front page and then use smaller versions of it on top corners of rest of pages.
you have used a WYSWYG editor, perhaps Frontpage, and it has not been set up in the options section to use relative or 'local' anchor calls. They're all whole URL specific. That means if you put the whole site on a CDROM the calls (aka links) fail (unless the cd user was on a PC that was online). If it was all relative you could hand out your site on cd as a glorified e-portfolio.
the webpages are coded in a generally inelegant way; its not using cascading style sheets for what they are designed for. Its CSS is crippled and updates/makeovers will be a pain. Not this year or maybe next.... but one day you will hate the WYSWYG black hole!
I see you sticking pins in a Bill Gates doll in 2008!;)

I would find some site i liked and rip it off/clone it. I don't like the font you're using on the title / header gifs either. Am I too harsh? Maybe over the top, but I assume you want your customers to think "CLASS ACT" here at tremendousz.com - it will raise their expectations and your prices will appear to be bargains; it'll move more $stock.

A good impacting example of a front door and is layout is at http://www.fieldandforest.com/


It takes a lot of know-how. You can rip into my 300+ page website (non-photography, non-profit too) if you want; www.remlr.com

Cheers and all the best.

Could you explain more about what you mean about the "cascading style sheets"?

I'm new to all of this and I'm just scripting the way the book says...But deffinetly if there is an easier way I'd be interested.

Here is a txt file attached. If you rename the extension to "css" instead of "txt" it is a valid css file. Name it anything. It gets referenced in the style tags at the top of every htm page. Its a lookup file, a library of font etc instructions. In your htm files, when using a font tag, for example, on -say- standard text lines.... you would do a font tag like this:

< fo n t class=line > blah blah screen text stuff < / f o n t >



Later if you want to makeover the site, you change the style in the sheet that all the tags rely on and all the references / lookups to the sheet are therefore changed in all the pages.
