Hey,

I've designed a website for VW (Volks Wagen) "Lovers". The site is not fully finished. All I have is the Home Page up and running.

The site will have a Discussion Board, Image Gallery, How-To Section, Member Ride of the Month. I am also thinking of having a section where people can post a photo of there VW, add a description about their VW and post stats about it, such as 1/4 mile time, performance mods, etc.

Here is the link to the one page (Home Page):

http://www.myvdubcorner.com

This is the second site that I've Published.

Thanks.

I would use CSS as a frames replacement and not have everything so centered.

There's not much dynamic about it.

I'm just a beginner myself (I've never created a good looking website yet)

But the page could use a little touching up.

hi! I live in Europe, and I like VW. Especially diesel! I have a small VW Polo. Why does this car absent in your car list?
According to your site. It has many unworking servicess now. I can test only homege. It looks well.

Andr105: I will be sure to update the list of VW Vehicles on my Homepage. I'll be sure to add the VW Polo.

Yes, the site still needs to be worked on but with me going to College now and having Homework, it's gonna be a little while before the site is Fully Operational.

These days I haven't seen a lot of sites with frame design, I concur with two4god07. And I think if you have time you can learn a bit more about CSS which can really help you clean up your page (html-wise)

Also if you are looking at discussion forum, maybe you can actually implement the site using a forum engine (phpbb?)? or also create a blog using a common blog engine (wordpress?)? Since these engines are fairly straight-forward to setup and also a lot of themes to choose from, you can focus on creating content for the site!

btw, I used to love VW too... I had a Beetle, a Golf, a Jetta and a Passat :)

I had a little time and a little bordom, so I decided to type up a frameless frame script for your site. I just copied and pasted the content, but I strongly suggest you learn some css to format it all instead of using all the font tags. But for now, I left all those font tags in there so you could have something to strive for. Here's the css script that will have your page framed without using frames. I hope it helps.
