    This is a ? for the ages.
    are you an artiste? is there a reason to have it look the same?
    there often is and most web sites do this. they are built using tables or divs with explcit dimensions.
    you must tells us what you mean exactly because you should use pdf if you want everything to always remain in proportion no matter the size, but

    If she is talking about what I think she is talking about I believe we both have the same problem. The problem I have is my site looks perfect on my computer but if I bring my site up on a different computer with different monitor resolution then you have to scroll right and down to be able to see the whole page. But on my computer the whole page fits on my screen.

    I recently had the same problem with a site I was building. Use percentages instead of pixels when defining width and height... it will translate better to all resolutions. That's how I solved it anyway.

    Table layouts are not ideal, this isn't perfect but hopefully fixes your problem and gives you some ideas.....

    Also just as a thought... if your site is "hooks & bullets" shouldn't your strap line be "fishing & hunting" as opposed to "hunting & fishing" ??

    MarvinJ,
    Thanks a bunch. All I was really asking for was information I didn't expect someone to do the work for me. I'm not complaining, I'm very appreciative!! I compared the code to mine and see alot of changes. I'm just a beginner as I'm sure you can tell but I am trying to learn. Hopefully someday soon I'll be atleast decent. Thanks again MarvinJ

    First of all you can try to change sizes of your html basics in your style.css file
