Hello,

This is my new site: http://annanicolavideo.com

Please could you take a look for me, and tell me what you think needs improving.

I'm still a beginner so its really basic.

Thanks a lot.

I'm going to bed so I'll say more later. For now, look at it in Chrome.

[ac11]

Thanks for the reply....

I'm guessing it looks a mess in your Chrome?

I just got Chrome for Mac 18.0.1025.168 and it looks very similar to my Firefox and Safari. I have quite a small screen though so maybe I'm not seeing it right...

For me it looks exactly in Chrome like in Firefox. For this kind of website i would use WordPress to build it For me this looks like custom html website. I don't like how everything is aligned in center, but i like minimalistic look and color you choose. I would put istockphoto link, collections, contact details, keywords, inline in footer separated in 4. And bigger slideshow with more info on website. And take a look at header when you browsing different collections. It breaks on some pages and goes to the left.

Thank you. That's all really useful stuff. I'll try and change the layout, add more info etc....

Screen shot of what I'm seeing in Chrome. Images aren't displaying correctly.

[ac11]

Weird! Thanks for posting that..... Its strange cos there are no images there apart from the ones which are visible.

Do you think the images are the traffic record images in the code iStock supplied for their referral links?

I just copied all the link code iStock generated for me into the site, but maybe I only needed part of it.


Here's the code for the section in the banner you posted:

<a href="http://refer.istockphoto.com/ta.php?lc=056224042431004653&atid=5005&#37;7CBannerID%3D5005%7CReferralMethod%3DLink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.istockphoto.com%2FAnnaNicola"><img src="http://refer.istockphoto.com/traffic_record.php?lc=056224042431004653&atid=5005%7CBannerID%3D5005%7CReferralMethod%3DLink" border="0"/><sub><img src="images/avitar.png" alt="profile picture" border="0" width="40" hspace="50"/>   </a></sub>  <a href="http://refer.istockphoto.com/ta.php?lc=056224042431004653&atid=5005%7CBannerID%3D5005%7CReferralMethod%3DLink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.istockphoto.com%2FAnnaNicola"><img src="http://refer.istockphoto.com/traffic_record.php?lc=056224042431004653&atid=5005%7CBannerID%3D5005%7CReferralMethod%3DLink" border="0"/><font size="8">Video <small>by</small> AnnaNicola</font size></a><a href="http://refer.istockphoto.com/ta.php?lc=056224042431004653&atid=5005%7CBannerID%3D5005%7CReferralMethod%3DLink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.istockphoto.com%2FAnnaNicola"><img src="http://refer.istockphoto.com/traffic_record.php?lc=056224042431004653&atid=5005%7CBannerID%3D5005%7CReferralMethod%3DLink" border="0"/><sub><img src="images/profpic100.png" alt="profile picture 2" border="0" width="40" hspace="50"/></sub></a>

Do you think I should remove the

<img src="http://refer.istockphoto.com/traffic_record.php?lc=056224042431004653&atid=5005%7CBannerID%3D5005%7CReferralMethod%3DLink" border="0"/>

part of the referral links?

Thank you for your help.

You could do this to make sure the images stay hidden even if there's a problem loading them:

<img style="width:0; height:0;" src="http://refer.istockphoto.com/traffic_record.php?lc=056224042431004653&atid=5005&#37;7CBannerID%3D5005%7CReferralMethod%3DLink" border="0"/>

Or just remove them if you're not trying to track traffic or something with them.

[ac11]

Ah, thanks a lot for that! That will be much better than removing them....

[spufi]

display:hidden;

Should work as well.

[ac11]

Thanks....

Is it possible to tell me which version of Chrome you are using...?
So I can make sure I haven't missed anything

[spufi]

The most current one.

Everything south of the second vertical black line can be deleted as it's just duplicating the links above and full addresses/numbers are never advisable and no user needs to see keywords either.

Also you have committed the cardinal sin that makes me scream every time I see it. Please don't make a user scroll, just to see a couple of lines of text. Make it fit to 100% height or only use scroll bars unless it is impossible for information to fit neatly on one page.

Displays nicely in FF12 on linux by the way.
