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.

http://www.chris-dawson.info

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

nice, simple, clean looking site.

i didn't know you spoke php. am working on a site myself atm, but having just done loads of asp.net, i'm rusty with php.

only thing i might do differently, is move the main title further toward the top of the page. It looks a bit cluttered where it is, and the space above it doesnt look quite right.

other than that it's hard to comment on the navigation as like you say, no content yet, but it looks good so far.

wanna do a new front page for the forum?

Cost ya

I dont think theres anything wrong with how it is

needs jazzing up, you might get a free T-shirt out of him

maybe some thing like this http://www.alfaowner.com/aohome.php ?

That website looks crap

I thought you meant a front page like this
http://www.fishkeepersforum.org/

Informative but bland
Perhaps a punto coming though fire would look cool

a punto on fire would be cooler.

yeah the alfa front page is way to cluttered imo. looks a mess.

I clicked automotice on your site and got a nice
No input file specified. HTTP/1.1 503 Server too busy Connection: close Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:29:41 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 Content-Type: text/html Server Error, unable to connect to fastcgi server.



Im guessing alot of people like your site

No, none of the links work as there are no other pages to link to

Make some then

I will when I feel like it.

i dunno then, messenger ben an have a chat

Well tbh I dont think this site needs a front page. Its fine just coming straight to the forum. The only thing i find the front page useful for is seeing the latest replied to posts. Otherwise i just click past it.

its to make it look good for new people i think

I never saw the front page i went Direct to punto section from google

I even missed the noobie section

A nice intro page is nice tho

Dont make it like
www.hlevolve.com its long
