For a second site it's pretty good, obviously it could be a lot better and
I'm sure it will if you listen to some decent advice that you will probably
get from here and elsewhere. My advice to you would be to learn css and
html, stick around here for a while and ask questions, don't be afraid,
there are no silly questions only silly answers. With the site before you go
any further make it flexible, go here:

Once you have understood that then forget about tables and create sites with
divs positioned with css :)

Without a doubt the greenest site I have ever seen, I'm with Katsuey... go
lighter / pastel with your colours, page validation etc.
Site built for 1024px but the (current) content could easily be fitted into
800px.
The girl image does need work but I figured you know this and you'll tidy it
up later once other issues resolved.
A real plus point (for me) is that you've used a decent sized font for menu's
and contents, maybe it's my age but I find myself having to squint at some
website to read the text. Long live larger fonts!
I'm not sure that you are giving enough visual feedback on your menu (the
semi-circle can be hidden by mouse pointer), maybe a change of colour/font etc
would help.
I would be tempted to lose the image on the left of the header (some type of
plant) or a least make it the same size as the face image (and give it the same
border) to balance things out.

One last point, I would try and make the home page fit without the need for
vertical scroll bars (fit to what? I aim for 768px) try and make the text
short, snappy and concise... don't make the user scoll to find out that this is
indeed the site they need to be on, once you've got them through the front door
you can introduce longer pages... Just a thought.

Your 2nd site eh? Where are all your animated gifs and sound effects :-)

Compensated by the use of &nbsp; I'm sure.

It should be working now , by the way how do you change the screen res to 800 x 600 ? so the other viewers can see?

There is a problem on the products page, the menu seems to drop. Again as
everyone seems to sudjest
GET RID OF SOME OF THAT GREEN it's just to much for me i hate green. You also
have a lot of empty tags.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
You could also change this
body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-color: #006600;
}

TO This

body {
margin: 0px;
background-color: #006600;
}

You may think about making the rollover button images smaller so they dont
sift on resize and add a title to the pages.

You can validate your site at http://validator.w3.org

I do like your banner text, and the site is no worse than my second site.

No

To This

body {
margin: 0;
background: #060;
}

But I think the op needs to sort out some other stuff before shortening the
css which does nothing apart from saving a bit of typing :)

Yes Pablo
Although I feel it makes no difference to the page it dose save a bit of
typing on future sites.
Do you think watzursns client will hang around while he learns HTML and CSS.
why not go for a little PHP and mysql also. You seem to offer very little
advice yourself but you too have saved a little more typing.
whoopee.

I am in the middle of changing it i put a gradient color instad of making it all green. Does it look better now? I am also working on the coding! Thanks For Your Support !
FreakyJesus

2006-02-12, 6:38 pm

looks good. like the gradient. what did you use for it? the little curve under
your links seems a little pointless but i do like the subtle change in bg
colour when you hover. oh...your about us hover link is a little smaller than
the main one. good stuff though.

Baz J

2006-02-12, 6:38 pm

Yep looking much better.

This image is being distorted because it is being resized incorrectly by
code. It's coded to display at 365x305 but the actual size of the image file
is 310x266.
