    This is my illustration and design site,I've managed to get a small amount of work from it so far, its been up about a month.
    I want to increase traffic to it, I believe I need to make a HTML page with more information on.And I also need to make in more user freindly.
    Plus I want a shop page were people can buy quality prints and other small items, how do I go about making that?

    Have you looked at it in firefox?

    It's not centralised.

    Lovely work though - Do you do character design?

    Explain your skill sets, will you?

    ooo. Burn!.. haha, anyway, love the site, looks really nice, and yeah, you might want to make sure it centers it on the page in firefox.. just a more symmetrical look. Also.. Instead of "<< Back Next >>" In the lower left hand corner while looking at the really nice drawings / art, you might want to label it "Home" or "Back to Start" or something more intuiative.

    was looking at your books stuff...hit back ...and was on the art page......you really could do with NOT messing with the navigation....or just add a HOME link on every page
    its really really irritating.
    but...you will still get your link as you are obviously quite 'arty' ;)
    regards
    G-E-M

    LOL :) .. OK i should have read the previous post I suppose :D

    <<EDIT>>

    SE couldn't see any difference on the first code, will try the second one today.
    Have to make the navigation better, quickly , you forget when you make something that you know how its suppossed to work, but not everyone else will.
    There is a home page link on every page,on the top left, probably in a bad place.

    Previously, you had this in the head:
    <!--
body {
	margin-left: 10%;
	margin-right: 10%;
	background-color: #FDF3E1;
}
-->
    Code (markup):
    Which I changed to this 
    <!--
body {
	background-color: #FDF3E1;
}
-->
    Code (markup):
    Basically, it was just conflicting styles. :)

    CSS is easy.

    With tuition, i'm sure monkeys would be able to do it...

    Hmmm - That's an idea ;)
