My Portfolio Website (WIP)

[NRees]

Ok, this is very early work in progress, after realising my last site was designed like an early russian sub - an engineers nightmare. So I took YODA an co's advice and used CSS for this site, have to say that I LOVE CSS!!!

Early design idea is here (http://www.taekwondo-uk.co.uk/portfolio) here.

Any feedback apreciated!

Not too bad i would reccomend having a seperate style sheet file but it does look pretty good

[NRees]

It has got a seperate style sheet, 3 of them infact. It uses PHP to switch between the different style sheets.

Btw, anyone got any idea how to make the bottom layer move down as the content box gets larger ??

Man that looks great. I'm going have to learn some of that CSS 'stuff'. :D

It looks awesome... except for the language :( :D:D:D

It's a challenge for my potential customers, after all I don't wanna work for dumbasses :p

Lol, nah its just a content filler til i can be bothered to fill it with something useful.

Yes - it has got external style sheets - but it alsp still has inline styles, which would be better held externally.

For example...


<div id="layer2" style="position:absolute; left:12px; top:169px; width:187px; height:189px; z-index:2" class="navbar">

Oh now I see what you mean, I'll fiddle with it when I get back from my nans house. YODA, any idea on how to get the bottom DIV to move down ??

Heres the code for it :


<div id="layer10" style="position:absolute; left:12px; top:617px; width:978px; height:24px; z-index:10" class="bottomtitles">
<div style="vertical-align: middle" align="center">Website Designed,Created And Managed By <a href="mailto:webmaster@taekwondo-uk.co.uk">Nathan Rees </a></div>
</div>

[NRees]

Any ideas ?

Patience grasshopper - some of us have to work for a living! ;)

Personally, I have no idea. I'm just a code monkey.

I'm not Yoda, but I'd say that you could fix it by making the position relative rather than absolute. However, looking at the website now, the bottom DIV seems to have dissapeared entirely.

Theme Selector isn't working. :(

[mattsylvester]

I wouldn't use Italics in that font just in case some people can't read them (usability and accessability is becoming big) and make sure that you have lots of alt tags for links and pictures as well.

Other than that, cool site.

[NRees]

There is no Italic text. I'm gonna add some alt tags later. Alt tags for links?? Never heard of that :S Johny - Theme selector should be functional now.

[mattsylvester]

Sorry,

Beg to differ. 'Navigation', 'Website Stats' (and all beneath it), 'Content/Page ...', 'Theme Selector', 'Latest News' and 'Misc. Details' are all italicised.

Spotted why, my PC doesn't have the font so is trying to find the best solution.

Might be best to use more common fonts as this can really mess up your design :)
