[wip] My Site Design

Well, i wouldn't really call it a work in progress since i'm basically done, but i would like comments as to how to improve it. I always strive for the minamalist look. I'm very satisfied with the result of the layout even though theres no content on the site. :)

Spiffy design. A subtle mouseover effect on the house/camera links wouldn't go amiss though.

Whilst the design's not bad, five words spring to mind, with regards your implementation:

Oh good god, the tables! :blink:

#194532

I have no idea how to do it otherwise :( I don't understand, css, and xml and all of that stuff. :( BTW, whats wrong with tables?

Tables, as such, aren't a problem...

Tables used for layout are the problem - it causes confusion and depreciates the semantic value of the markup.

Also, it's always good systems design practice to seperate presentation from code and data layers, which is exactly what XHTML/CSS does - it doesn't store the layout and positioning info with the data - the only thing in the HTML file should be (in an ideal world) information to enable an end user to interpret the data correctly.

A fairly good summary is available here.

It's not got everything quite right, but it's a very good introduction, with a brief tutorial to illustrate the differences in technique more effectively...

There's a great article on StopDesign regarding dumping tables in favour of CSS, that I just found... Hot off the press, too.

One problem with tables for layout is that in IE (the dreaded IE), some things do not align correctly (especially if you are using a nav bar with a content section next to it). I have had this happen to me a few times and the latest time it has happened, (make Stevie happy time :) ) I decided to switch to CSS posiitioning for good.

Well, I could help you with xHTML/CSS if you want me to.

I'd take any help from anyone lol, I'm trying to figure out how to make it in css and i think i figured out how to make the webpage with a header, 3 columns, and a foot but they stretch across the entire screen, I don't know how to make it a set length and then center the document like i did.

Try:

body{
margin: auto;
width:760px;
}

PM me if you want more help.

EDIT: If you want spacing for the top, have the margin: auto; part changed to margin: 5px auto auto auto; (changing the 5px to whatever you want the spacing to be for the top).
