Ok, I am pretty new at this and this is my first site that I have done from scratch. I do know HTML and this was done in Dreamweaver MX. Unfortunately I do not really know how to do CSS, so I know not everything is uniform. I will be learning this soon though. Please give me an honest review of the site so I know where I can improve. Thank you.
I hope this is no too honest, but here goes. The alignment stinks, the border to the left repeats and looks bad. There is a big gap above the search and below the navigation, and here is its mangled validation http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...eadthejam.com/ these is no substitute to hard codeing, I do not care what wysiwyg editor you use.
ummmmmm well i dnt want to be mean but start again
use somthing for a better navigation
support on all resolutions
a proper colour scheme
readable link colours
use more css
use somthing like xhtml or somthing for layout and also use css for layout combined together with xhtml http://www.westciv.com/courses/cours...tml_and_xhtml/ go there to learn that
they also have other tutorials at that site
No one is being mean, I asked for an honest opinion. I know the site needs lots of help, but from an outward appearance it is funtional. I am in the process of redoing the site, and will probably redo it again this fall once I learn PHP. While I do know some HTML, I am not completely confident in my ability to script. I have taken HTML 4.1 (level 1) which is a one day coarse, and I will be talking HTML 4.1 (level 2) on June 30th were we will get into CCS. From there I will also be learning PHP.
How long did it take you guys to learn to design and build? I have trouble sitting down to read a book on how to do these type of things! Thanks for your critique, and those who hadn't reviewed the site, please continue to.
Well it has taken me about 2 months to get a decent grip on CSS for layout purposes anyway and as for HTML/XHTML that didnt take me too long. Im away to start learning PHP/MySQL also which will probably take some time .
Well I've been trying to learn for a year and I still wouldn't call myself confident, although I am aiming to create a fully valid page soon enough.
As for books, I dont like them at all, especialy not ones that have 'for dummies' on the cover.
Online tutorials seem a lot easier, try hypergurl.com it has a lot of tutorials and ready made code that are quite easy to understand.
Disclaimer. (1) Whilst I will help you sometimes, if I feel like it, and my advice in relation to your actual question will be of good quality: my posts are to be taken with a pinch of salt. I will be sarcastic, deploy irony and include obscure cultural references for my own amusement without warning.

Hi -
Did'nt like the text and header area: not unified at *all* - same with the navbar on the left. (Also, blue links within the <p>'s are virtually invisible on black!)
I've studied at home for about 5 months now - first digesting E. Castro's "HTML (xhtml & css) for the World Wide Web"; then taking notes from my notes 'til it was "distilled" and understood. Now, I get to just 'play' with the fun stuff / try new things!
For design; I'd suggest TSW WebCoder4 - it's free, plus you have to know what you're doing - but a helluva lot easier than Notepad for placing images! - DON'T use QuickEdit if you try it, tho...will screw with the code, despite giving you the WYSIWYG 'safety net'!

You need to tie your shoe laces before you fall over again I think.
Some good tips would be to pay a visit to http://w3schools.org and take in what is said there. Open notepad and paste this into it:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>the Original Dance Devils Personal Website</title>
<style type="text/css">
body { color: #000; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Test</p>
</body>
</html>
Play around with this until you understand what you are playing with and then start having fun.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
