    Hi All,

    Iv been woring as a web content editor for a while now and understand html very well and the concept of css through having to edit countless amounts of webpages through my work, but, I have never actually built my own site using css and I feel its now time to make this step up to benefit myself and my job.

    I have been provided with the oppoertunity to create a charity based site for my local walking club so I have drwan up a design on photoshop of how id like the homepage to look (please view attached jpg)

    now I was wondering if you could help with my next stage, getting my head round whats involved in this design and how I should approach the coding.

    Thanks for taking time to look, and all advice appreciated, also if you have any comments on the design or layout of my propossed site would be great thanks!!!

    For some reason the attachment cant be viewed so i have had to place the link in the 'reason for editing' section of this post.

    hope this is ok for you and thanks for looking

    First bit of advice is... that background will kill your page load time. Looks cool but a full screen bg image will be huge.

    shallowink: it won't.

    Of course, depends on whether you optimize it as a jpeg or not.

    It will probably be 40-50 kb which is fine. (loading in a few seconds for most people)

    Edit: It will still kill the site because people browse at different resolutions and the moment a high-res viewer sees it - *boom* - broken. I suggest gradiating it to blue on the edges so it can melt into a solid color.
