Site Review 1

[dfc41]

Hi all,
This is my first site would like some feedback please. I have used frames and like the look and navigation, but wondering how everyone else see's it. Not sure if frames is the way to go. Any advice would be appreciated.

It looks OK when viewed with Internet Explorer, but it's completely messed up when viewed with Firefox - there seems to be some kind of Micro$oft-only thing going on to get the gradient fills behind the text. If you're not using an M$ browser, you get no text at all, but a but image instead. A plug-ugly one at that.

The worrying thing is that search engine spiders probably won't be able to read the text version either (it's hidden inside a comment as far as they're concerned).

These sort of things happen when you build a site with FrumpPage, frames are the least of your problems.

i'm unable to read the text, it's very blurry and there is a strange black
line/stripe on right side of your background; not sure if that's what you wanted. (I'm on Mac)

A bit too dark and somber. Black borders on both sides of the page become rather overpowering at higher resolutions. Some folks in the group here will also be bitching about it not passing WC3 validation test.

Pretty in IE, although bottom line text is rather hard to read

In Moz it just appears as an image, very pixellated and nothing clickable. To be polite, it's unusable in Moz!

My comments about validation are probably unnecessary - you are obviously not aiming for (and don't expect) cross browser compatibilty if you use FrontPage!

Your brain is the best web design tool there is. Hand code. Learn what good web design is and use that. Use CSS and also learn how to use a validator. Professional sites look good because they're designed by people who have an eye for what looks good and what works. Having a fancy toolbox with expensive tools does not make you an auto mechanic or plumber or carpenter. That takes experience and an analytical mind for the specific job.
