Do you like the web design of my site?

    It's better than before but just needs more graphics because it's too white. It also needs more video content. I'm trying do direct people toward the video content I already have on there (on the high traffic pages). Right now it gets around 240 people a day and maybe it will get more.

    FreeMusicStudy.com

    So tell me what you think. The web design isn't the greatest but better than before. All done by hand. I have a question. What's wrong with the front page? The outside border is doesn't surround the other boxes properly.

    It's probably because you've used some wrong sizes. It's good to draw the website (including all boxes) on a piece of paper, and write down ALL sizes. Remember, if you're using padding in a box, you should remove the padding from the size(s).


    Just some other tips:

    - Use <br /> instead of <br>.
    - Instead of referring with <div class = "main"> to div.main { blabla; }, use <div id="main"> to refer to #main { blabla; }
    - I don't know in what program you're writing your site, but it's good to keep the source code clean and well-organised. If you have a large CSS, it's better to make a .css file. Oh, and too many enters between every source code line makes it harder to oversee/edit/whatever your script :p


    Oh, and you're using a different CSS for pages with the same layout. Isn't it better to create a CSS capable for all pages? That's what CSS is for in first place, anyway :p. One CSS page for the layout, and different HTML-pages for the content. This way you only have to edit one file if you want to make changes in the layout.

    Thanks, I'll look into it. My plan now is to post 1000 good guitar videos in a short period of time. I'd like to do it in two days but probably it would take a week.

    In my opinion videos should appear on the right from main menu. It does't comfortable for user if he have to scroll down the page so long to visit the rest of content.

    Perhaps I could provide some interesting material at the top and later they would scroll down. I would have to rework the whole site to make it your way. But it I have to I'll do it.

    What I could do is add an extra video to the right of them menu. How about that?
