Hi there I'm a bit of a newby when it comes to web. I'm a print designer so this 'code' thing is new to me (except when i was a boy programming commodore 64's with code). 10 goto next paragraph. So please forgive me if this takes a while to sink in. My website is www.gotitall.net.nz and it looks the right size on my screen but i'm wanting it to resize automatically to sit in the centre of every resolution. I've read a few posts on here and they go over my head. I"m a copy paste coder really what is the easiest way to do this please?
Begin from start doing your website. Step by step, checking out every action to see happens and find why it happens. What is crapping your websites r mostly these images you have, try resizeing then to smaller. Keep your sidebars about 150px and main content 650px. (width) I recommend learning also using DIV and CSS. More easier reading and make changes than tables. flickmyenglish.
thanks icestone. make everything smaller i must then... and google div and css. thanks for your help.
I would not set my images according to pixel size. 650 pixels on one device will not be the same as on another device. Before you start changing the code of the site, I would recommend that you take the time to read a few articles on "responsive web design". Making your site "responsive" will allow the content to scale according to the device the user is viewing the site with. With responsive techniques, you can go beyond making it "look right" on different devices, but can also change the whole experience. Ads or content options can be changed according to the device the visitor is using. Hand-helds can get summarized content while computers get full text, etc. I know my answer doesn't give you a copy & paste option, but it is good for you to familiarize yourself with the subject before you move into actual design.
