You've done well for a first website And everyone's biggest problem is traffic I'd say, it's something you need to keep working on to get yourself out there. Link building, free advertising, social networking ..

Haha I forgot about Bravnet! I've got to go check if this is still around, nice trip down memory lane lol

All this javascript lark has me confused ?? I've found a nice little piece I'd like to use here. I've looked at the source code and it's lot different to mine, does anyone have any pointer on implementing it with my html I already have? Thanks

I actually fond dark designs easier to do for me, most of my portfolio is dark actually. Look though css galleries and you'll get some good inspiration!

Thanks again, I'm gonna try this or this and see what happens. No doubt I'll need help lol.

Thanks for the help Andy, all seems to work great except the message, it still says no message when I put one in the textfield. Also, if I wanted to look at say a thank you message appearing without going to a new page and the error message showing in real time would I need to look into ajax for this? EDIT -- My fault, I wasn't paying enough attention in the code, I just reduced the < 25 to 5 all works, thanks again for your help. Any advice on my 2nd question? Cheers

I've tried that, I seem to still get the same problem ? I'm quite poor with php! lol

I'm going wrong somewhere here, I tried this .. <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $to = "lee@klevermedia.co.uk"; $subject = "Contact form"; $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $company = $_POST['company']; $contact = $_POST['contact']; $dropdown = $_POST['dropdown']; $message = $_POST['message']; $header="from: $name_field <$email>"; $body = "From: $name\n\n E-Mail: $email\n\n Company: $company\n\n Contact number: $contact\n\n Drop down: $dropdown\n\n Message:\n\n $message"; echo "Your email has been sent to $to"; mail($to, $subject, $body, $header); } else { header('Location: http://www.klevermedia.co.uk') ; } if($name == "") { print("Please enter your name<br/>"); $error += 1; } if($error == 0) { if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $from_header)) { echo "Data has been submitted successfully"; } else { echo "Failed sending email"; } } else { print("<br/><br/><b>Click <a href=\"javascript: history.go(-1);\">here</a> to go back</b>"); } } else { echo "No data was posted from the contact form"; print("<br/><br/>Click <a href=\"contact.html\">here</a> to go to the contact form"); } ?> But when I press send with no fields filled in I get sent to /mailform.php http://klevermedia.co.uk/contactform/ .. incasse nayone wanted to check. Thanks again

Excellent thanks a lot, I'll try this out see how it goes.

Hi, I've made my first attempt at making a php contact form but have come to a bit of a stand still. I've tried making some forms required but failed miserably and also the email feild to detect if a correct email was entered, but again failed miserably! If anyone could help that'd be great. <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $to = "lee@klevermedia.co.uk"; $subject = "Contact form"; $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $company = $_POST['company']; $contact = $_POST['contact']; $dropdown = $_POST['dropdown']; $message = $_POST['message']; $header="from: $name_field <$email>"; $body = "From: $name\n\n E-Mail: $email\n\n Company: $company\n\n Contact number: $contact\n\n Drop down: $dropdown\n\n Message:\n\n $message"; echo "Your email has been sent to $to"; mail($to, $subject, $body, $header); } else { header('Location: http://www.klevermedia.co.uk') ; } ?>

Just a little advice really, A member on these forums has stolen some textual content from my website and doesn't seem to be responding to my emails. I was just wondering what steps should be taken? you can find the link here http://www.troublezdesigns.com/ Cheers

I had a free £80 voucher from google and used it on adwords, I found I generated traffic from it but had not real interest o I would have looked at it as a lost £80.

Hey, I found a site a while back on photography that had a full image as a bg for the design but when you resized the screen the image would resize with it so if you viewed on a big screen the image would stretch with it. I can't find the site now so if anyone knew how this was done would be great. Thanks

I still cant work out what they do???

You could do it something like .. <div id="holder"> <div id="contact-form"> </di> <div id="contact-details"> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> #contact-form { float:left; } #contact-details { float:left; } .clear { clear:both; }

Much more inviting! I really like your logo, very clever

My mistake

I always take a deposit, what happens if you spend hours designing and then they just cut you off? Is they're serious about the job they should be willing to pay a deposit.

Hey Debbie, I'm essex too!

Sorry I forgot to write back, the "client" never got back in touch so maybe I'll practice using a wp module or something.

Definitely sounds like an Indian company to me, if I were a customer I'd probably avoid

I keep hearing this is simple http://www.cushycms.com/

I've started using silverstripe for work, still learning but it's a great cms. The UI on the backend is nice and so simple a client couldn't go wrong, and everything is customisable if you know how! Like I said I'm still learning and there's more and more I'm realising you can do.

Hmm seems all I was missing was a / at the end of the url
