if it took you two hours to do that then I'm screwed. I haven't been doing scripting for that long..so a month isn't that long to set up a website for an Ebusiness, to study for exams and other programming projects aswell.
So decided it was about time to set myself up a website (seems a bit silly seen as ive just sold my camera but its useful to have for the time being).
Ive had the domain for ages and used it for various different things but ive actually, out of bordom, decided to put it to some good use.

None of the links work as of yet as there isnt any content to the site. Just the front page for testing the general design and layout.
Any opinions or ideas would be great as its better I change them now rather than later
Its not XHTML Valid, sort it. Basically i've had a look, and height nor background aren't supported for table tags, you have to use CSS, which I suppose has its advantages.
I never asked you to look at the code of the site lol. I dont code, its all through dreamweaver.
Care to explain whats actually amaturish about it? You say its basic but then I dont really want anything OTT or stupidly complicated. Ithink people prefer a website that loads and is all there infront of you instead of having to go through menus and silly flash crap.
That doesnt really mean alot to me. care to explain? What browser are you looking at the site on? If it doesnt appear correct then its your browsers fault, not mine. It appears spot on in IE and Firefox on 3 PCs which I have viewed it on.
Yet the code does exactly what its supposed to do. Therefore it doesnt really matter And in all honesty, I find it a little sad that you think it does :shakehead:

but it is an amateur site, he not been payed loads of £££ to make it, so should be judging it as is it a good amateur design or a bad amateur design surley?
Something as technical as web design should not be done by a computers guess work, which is what dreamweaver and front page etc do. IMO if you want a website it should be coded professionally.
Site works fine for me Chris and guess what, I didn't even look at the code behind it and base my judgement of your site on that....
Thats like saying that writing is technical and that using Microsoft word is a cheat. All real writing purists use ink and a quill on parchment! Jesus, whats the world coming to
Same for using Photoshop. Damn all those people cutting corners using computers and cameras! We should all still be in the 1700s using paint and canvas to create pictures!
If you want to make a website but aren't fluent in geek then, whey! Dreamweaver is my best mate. Dont get me wrong. I can understand what all the code is doing and I often do edit certain parts of the code that Dreamweaver doesnt quite manage. I just prefer to create a website using a graphical interface rather than typing a load of bull**** all day long. Plus considering my website is fully graphical based, its alot easier trasfering the design from Photoshop to dreamweaver and putting it all together that way.
The design IMO is also poor, There isn't enough padding on the bottom, and the colours, images are all, very static and wouldn't want me to browse your site.
If your using it as your Portfolio website, I would change it. Just my advice.
Thank you, a bit of constructive critisism. Agreed, the images on the front arent necessarily the best that I coulod have chosen but they were what I had to hand and the time and are simple to change.
As for the errors. I get no errors when browsing the site. I use IE and Firefox. Neither bring up errors and the site works and looks spot on in my browsers.
As I already said, if it aint broke, don't fix it
