Is this difficult?

[Teach]

Hello! :)

Just a quick query.
How difficult do you think transferring a page like http://www.xcalibre.co.uk/helpdesk.php into CSS would be?

For example, there they use images for pretty much everything, but to achieve the same in a block nearest colour?

Thanks for any information.

Best regards,

It depends entirely on the skill of the coder. It isn't too hard but I can be time consuming. Dreamweaver provides that function but it has it's limits.

THIS SITE NEEDS TO BE REDONE IN CSS! That is a nightmare. There are 96 images on that page alone. There are images representing text! Big 'nono' when it comes to accessbility. And it's using a table for layout. The bytecount on the source alone is over 20KB! That doesn't include the sizes of the images. This site doesn't appear that it would be difficult; and a conversion would do it a heck of a lot of good. :)

Hiya.
Yep couldn't agree more. I'm in no way anything to do with them, by the way. ;)
It's just a good design and I love the colours...

I'll agree with you there; the colors are nice. I won't be taking any business to them. Think about it. They are a webhost that throws away bandwidth. lol

was a pretty quick load for me lol...though i openned it in a new tab, read the replies then looked at it so i dunno =P. I dont think it would be that hard to make into css though.

Ok thanks. :)
Will try and give it a shot.

Hello All,
This really has nothing to do with the topic but I took a look at that site and I was wondering how I would go about making those drop down menu's. Like where you place your mouse on it and a menu drops down.(top of ^^that page) Those look very nice and I would like to add those to my site.

That's basically what it is. Then you can style it to make it look spiffy — add background images and all that good stuff. ;)
