Hi,

I am developing four websites for a company. I have finished the basic design of the sites but I still have a lot of work to do on them. The links do not work on any of the sites other than the Winchester House one. This is because I am trying to finish the WH one first. Please take a look and leave me any comments about them and their design.

There may be some errors on the WH one because I am very much still building it.

The image on the first page will be a flash animation when I get round to building it.

They may take a while to load because I am running them off my network currently before they go live.

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Beautiful and creative site. It's really taking a long time, though so I didn't look at the whole thing.

I do not have a very fast internet connection so running it off my server is not the best idea but it is only temporary. I am glad you like it, thank you for your views.

Looks nice and the navigation style works well for the design!
Noticed one thing on the Winchester House page - the page is coded utf-8 and that is what is detected by the browser... but the "quotes" and "apostrophes" are displaying as "�" but will show correctly if you change to ISO character encoding.

Thank you, I know about the apostrophes and things, this is actually because I am having problems with one of my scripts currently. Those signs are the result because it is not compiling as I want it to. Hopefully I will manage to sort it out.

Out of interest how do I change character encoding, is it in the head of the html file? I only ask because I have never done it before. Do you know any links that would display the disadvantages and advantages of each type of encoding?

Thanks in advance

The advantage of utf-8 is that it is universal across all language characters.
The problem probably lies in the page with the text editor... it is probably ISO...
and/or the encoding of the database table... they should both be utf-8.
and yes, you change the character set in the head.

Very nice. I really like the menu a lot. Refreshing to see something different.
