It's my website I made for my A-level project. Simple, but effective in my opinion. Please visit it as I need some hits so I can put down that I advertised my site.

Hope you don't mind MentaL, it's just a little project site.

Any tips on how it can be improved would be appreciated.

ty :)

Perfect layout. DTB's rite in sayin it needs more colour but if u do add sum don't over do it. Awesome apart from that

**Evilkitten** · 26-01-04

**Capricorn** · 26-01-04

Ta guys, I'll try edit the colour a little. I might use a dark blue or dark red background. :good:

There is something wrong in the coding causing the scroll bar on the bottom to show up.

Search for this "<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="101%" border=0>" and replace it with this "<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0>"
That should remove it.

Np, let me know if there is something you don't know, i'm not html guru or anything, but i can most of the time figure things out.

You can also ask any kind of stuff over at XtremePcCentral.com you still got a account there, and there are lots of people who know all sort of things about html and all.

save top banner as an optimized gif :) will be much smoother

if you have any questions i'm here for you too ^^ i'm pretty good at webdesign

**GohanSSJ** · 26-01-04

Yeah but gif files are limited in quality, best would be actually png.

This is a interesting read http://www.xtremepccentral.com/modul...rtid=26&page=1

gif files are not limited in quality :) in fact, given the right image it's perfect quality ^^
png is just gif with more compression and supports transparancy i think o.O... cant remember... either way png may be better but i always use gif :) you can limit filesize enormously, not to mention no quality loss :P

**Capricorn** · 26-01-04

I'm thinking about not using that banner anyways. The slogan is so poo. lol :(

Gif is limited to 256 colours, thus crap quality.

Also it's gif that supports transparency, i'm not sure about PNG on that.

I think your confused with JPG.

And the guy who wrote that knows lots and lots about this

he doesnt sound like it :tp: doesnt even mention what lossy/losless means (i think... tbh was not to the point, didnt read it all :tp: )
and i know well enough when to use jpg and when to use gif :)
fact remains that png is better, yet not a standard (yet) ^^
simply coz png = gif, just improved...

gif is limited to 256 colours, and is perfect for webdesign :)
it makes it's own colour table, using only the colours it needs, making it very compact
gif and jpg can't be compared... you dont save everything in either one of these two formats... you combine..
gif = lots of seemless spaces of the same colour
LOSLESS
jpg = photographs, complicated images (with lots of colour differentiation)
LOSSY

You say gif is perfect for webdesign, but if you want a nice logo then gif won't do the trick, it makes it look crap.

Png might not be standard, however it's supported by all browsers these days, and for example the upload of vB.

If you use a simple banner and all then gif is fine, but when you go for higher quality and all then you better go for PNG.

As for him not sounding like it... well i posted before work of him, his site is changed now and not everything is on it, but he is good, really good.

i kno

**GohanSSJ** · 26-01-04

Well the banner on that site uses graphics that would look pretty crap with 256 colours, so he better use PNG.

**Speedhorn666** · 26-01-04

lol stop goin in circles u 2

**GohanSSJ** · 26-01-04

Lol i can't help it she is giving bad advice about logo's/banners. :tp:

**Solares** · 26-01-04

Not bad m8 :). Yeah save the top image as a gif (press alt + I then M then I in photoshop and set the colours to 'local selective" and i would say around 16 - 24 colours should do the trick). Then file n save as compuserve gif. Or if you really want to keep it a jpg then quality 30 in save as optimised should be fairly small (use the original clear PSD image though). Some interactive roleovers would be nice but its to much hassel if your not useing dreamweaver to make the page. If your writeing in raw HTML then i wouldent bother with the effort.

Buy hey :) i wouldent know much about webdesign.
