orange is nice but overall kinda boring. Get a pretty (but still easy to read) header/logo image. Also, I am so n00b on this html stuff, but can't <div class="linknav" ><a href="webhosting.html">Web Hosting</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="domains.html">Domain Names</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="aboutus.html">About Us</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="contactus.html">Contact Us</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="support.html">Support</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="tos.html">Terms Of Service</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="aup.html">Acceptable Use Policy</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="faq.html">F.A.Q</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="affiliates.html">Affiliates</a></div> <div class="linknav" ><a href="/clients">Client Area</a></div> <div class="linknav" ></div> Code (markup): be just <ul class ="linknav"> <li><a href="webhosting.html">Web Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="domains.html">Domain Names</a></li> <li><a href="aboutus.html">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="contactus.html">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="support.html">Support</a></li> <li><a href="tos.html">Terms Of Service</a></li> <li><a href="aup.html">Acceptable Use Policy</a></li> <li><a href="faq.html">F.A.Q</a></li> <li><a href="affiliates.html">Affiliates</a></li> <li><a href="/clients">Client Area</a></li> </ul> Code (markup): Cause the crusty wise ones here always say a list is a basic element and doesn't need divs around them... Sorry I know nothing about seo
yep your right on the nav just changed it but now its come up with the bullet points and indented it a bit but i want it aligned to the side. ive left a empty box at the top under under the "home | support | affiliates | clients" section for a logo but i know nothing about graphics design im offering free hosting to any body willing to design one though
Oh you can get rid of the bullets with list-style-type:none; That may also get rid of the indenting but if not make sure you had set your margins and padding to 0 at the outset and then you can control margins and padding on every little thing... but I think the indenting is from the bullets. What do you want on your logo? People ask for logos and stuff on this forum but then say what you want on it, color schemes etc. Try also asking for logo banners on the graphics forum here... plenty of PS nerds : ) You want a dragon? Chinese or European? Just curious, I'm having a code-evening with some friends this weekend but since I'm getting that book Dan Schultz is always hawking I might spend the time dicking with html/css... but if I don't feel like that, I could give the thing a go in GIMP. If I have something Monday, I'll offer it to you (free). GIMP, after all.
yep that fixed the bullet point then adding margin/padding 0 fixed the indent cheers. yeh id like a logo in keeping with the rest of them light and orange and incorporating a dragon somewhere but i dont know the difference between a Chinese and a European dragon lol sorry, i would very much appreciate if you made a logo thanks i also made a request in the graphics forums
Ok here are some tips 1. Your "Link Navigation" is right next to the border. Give it some space. 2. All your paragraphs seem to be right next to the border. Again give them some space. It seems as if they are trying to break free. 3. Try centering "Customer Login" over the input box below rather than have it on the side. Other than that, pretty good.
Oh and the title (on the page) says SeverDragon, not SeRver... I noticed that you also added a <title> name. : ) Good.
You could try this. It's just your page with a few things tweaked, and I didn't make a logo. The dragon is stolen from Mulan, can't be used; it's just an example of what you could do. I changed "Cheap" to "Affordable" on the header because the word cheap there made it look unprofessional. I left the word cheap in the body. Also moved the Our Features words a bit away form the left-hand edge of the bos (you would add padding to the left side about 5 pixels). Also: it would be a good idea for accessability to take the word "here" in your Summer Savings box and change that to a whole sentence link, something like "Here are some great summer savings." You may never have a blind customer, but if they have money, why would you piss them off? Later, someone can see all the relevant stuff on your page and instead of just the word "here" sitting out there, they can see that oh yeah, that was a link to the "great summer savings" page. http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www/click.html
Thx for the advice il change some it now. also is it good that im bolding out keywords in the content that appear in my title/ description and keywords in regards to seo
