    I can design, but can't code the backend very well.

    My site loads, well, slow...It's very graphic intense.

    What do you think it would be in CSS? How much would it cost to do?

    *all 3 sites are same layout, but different content*

    Just realized this was posted in the wrong forum..sorry!!

    I think I should get someone to re-code my site and make it easier. Save me some BW and make my forum load faster to.

    WOW 270 kb. Thats a record.. Using CSS will surely make it a lot better, although with lots graphix it will probably still load a little bit slow. You'd probably wanna work out some very impressive image caching alogrothim..

    Not only would it make your files smaller, but if you got ride of all the HTML decoration, like center and underline, etc, then your pages would be more compliant - since the HTML Validator (by W3C) doesn't accept <center> as propper formating and will just give you an error. (I use strict HTML 4.)

    I have only done a few CSS things and yes, it is pretty easy but I do not learn it until I need it which can get kind of annoying but I usually do not use CSS because some of my sites are for HIGH SPEED users on online games only.
