Thank you both very much for the advice it was much needed!!

Hi, I'm still learning web design, currently plodding through the photoshop tuts (website mock-ups) on the net. I have done a website in xhtml/css for my local social club using notepad and now a friend of mine wants a website (with e-commerce) to give his flower nursery an online prescence. I want to design him a more modern website than the social club using a mock-up in photoshop then convert to xhtml/css for the net. He understands it may take me a few months to make a design for him. I told him i wasnt sure about e-commerce and that i would find out more. I'm trying to get my head around how i could implement e-commerce/shopping cart into my website design. Say i did a mock-up in photoshop of a design for his future website and converted it into code ready for the net, how can you implement the e-commerce/shopping cart into it? Do i add the php/mysql script to my xhtml code? Do i download the script from a specialist e-commerce site i.e. zencart?? Sorry to sound a little naive but i really dont have the foggiest idea! Heres hoping for your replies Slinky

There isnt any real consistency and there seems to be too many colours. I think the site would be improved a lot if there were no animations or movement on the page. It makes me dizzy just looking at it.

Thanks alot nero problem solved!!

Hey thanks for the kind words Dave, nice one!

thanks Darren much appreciated!!

Hi I have been learning x/html and css for 9 months now and thought it was time i started to learn other things. I have had a quick look at javascript and php on w3schools and they look very complicated. As a wannabe website designer, is it imperative to learn client and server side scripting languages such as javascript & php?? Or maybe have a limited knowledge for contact forms etc? Your thoughts are very welcome! Cheers Slinky

thanks for the comments terydinho! Charlotte, is gradient a photoshop application?? If so i will probably learn about that soon. Slinky

thanks very much for your comments i will take them on board and make some amendments.

Hi Guys, I am in the process of putting together a basic website for my final assignment and would really like some feedback on it. I have only completed 3 pages but the same layout will be used throughout the site. I wanted to see what you guys thought first (in case any changes are needed). As you can probably see from the site it is purely xhtml and css as this is all i have been learning so far. I am going to start studying photoshop next to try my hand at mock-ups and slicing etc. Anyway any constructive critisism welcome. My first live website Many Thanks Slinky

Thanks pat that has worked spot on, much appreciated!

Morning Guys, I am in the process of producing a basic XHTML/CSS site for my course final assignment and am having a problem. My page views fine in IE but in firefox, safari and opera there is a gap between the top of my page and the browser window. See www.tarletonbowlingclub.co.uk Here is my page styling:- Hope you can help, cheers Slinky

Hi Micky, I have been self teaching myself part time for nearly a year and i am still only able to create very basic sites, to create sites like the ones you have provided will probably take years of learning and a vast amount of skill and knowledge. I started right from the beginning, i learned the original HTML code first, i am currently still learning XHTML (structure) and CSS (styling). I find Web Designer Forum very useful as a base camp, also the following sites is prob where you should start off :- www.yourhtmlsource.com www.w3schools.com www.htmldog.com Once you have learned how produce basic websites using X/HTML and CSS then move on to the rest of the programs. Javascript, PHP, Flash, ASP, Ajax, MySQL etc etc. Also you will need to master graphics programs such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, and GIMP. Web Design and Development is vast and will take years of studying and practise (so it looks to me), also i think a real interest and desire to learn is essential. Hope this helps Good Luck Slinky

Hey Darren, I'm no expert as im still learning and a relative beginner but i think the banner looks quite plain, also what about rollover effects on the navigation and footer menus? I'm sure the guys with more experience than me will be able to give you more help. Colin

thanks elanman that has worked i changed them in the FTP program, thanks mate!

Hello, I uploaded my assignment homepage onto the internet last night and i am having a problem. I used smartFTP to upload the files to the server, for some reason my main image for my homepage isnt showing up, which is causing the page layout to look distorted in Firefox. Ive checked my FTP and all the html css and image files are in the www and public html folders which i believe is correct. Any help would be much appreciated. The web add is www.tarletonbowlingclub.co.uk Thanks Colin
