I would look at cleaning you $_GET data.

Nice site really nice, 1 thing though get rid of the hit counter we're in the noughties not the nineties other thank I really like the look and feel

Using tables is fine for displaying tabular data :-), so you all you need to do it style your table with css

I am up for that

I still don't think you should be calling yourself a professional web designer, I still think you need to need look at your vocational skills, you really overstating your skill set your css is not where near 5 and half out of 6 sorry to sound harsh but you will not get anywhere by kidding yourself. As for this tabular data argument, I am glad to see you have removed it well done on that. If you want to improve your CSS may I suggest looking at Stu Nicholls site this guy is a genius, take apart his examples and put them back together with your own twist is great to learn the core skills. ? Some of your copy needs looking at aswell can words really give a website a taste? Also your testimonial did you really create that guys website because if you did why is flash not in you vocational skills?

I think your definition of tabular data needs refining, an image and a visitor counter is not tabular data, something like a timetable is.

This is so much better than the first site you put on here so well done on that, design wise I think it looks great but loose the inner content scroll bar or use javascript to customise it default scroll bars to put it nicely look crap however good the design of the site is this. Som things that concern me are you yoursefl 5 and half stars for HTML skills but your HTML does not validate infact it returns with 67 errors and 19 warnings. Also you css skills you mark youself highly but you use tables partly in your site, surely if you are as good as you say are then replicating the layout in CSS should be a piece of p*** :-). Remember tables are for tabular data and for eating from. Another wwarning I would take your phone number of your website...not a smart move in todays world. Here are a few tips, Use a <ul> to do your navigation, float the <li> left of each other and add a right margin to each of them makes your code nicer and do the rollover yourself with CSS, if you are unsure how then PM me and I will talk you through it, at the moment it is clear that dreamweaver, fireworks or photoshop have made the rollovers for you as your body has a javascript onload to load in the MM_preloadimages....this means that a user without CSS wont see the what it is potential a nice rollover. Hope some of this helps, any questions about CSS I am more than willing to help. Good effort keep working at it, nice to see you have reduced the use of red ;-)

I agree with Dizi the nav looks like an after thought, it looks like something you would find on sites like tutorialized etc, I know its template but does have to look so generic, put some of your own personality in to it, in many cases design is about a freedom of expression, giving the right the basis to bring the best out of the copy, with the added advantage of making the user feel pleased with the aesthetics. I will say you designs are improving, this one however is just too blocky and templatey (technical terms) for me! I am however first and foremost a developer though, so you can do what you want with my opinion. But congrats on the improvement from the first site you put up here.

Turn off javascript and the user is stuck in one place, you need make sure you website is open and accesible to all users, it is good looking though

This site is quality seriously quality, has no one noticed it is ironic that it is explaining to build a computer but to view you must do so through a computer ha ha. Good work though

Hello, I am hoping someone can help, I am looking to get into ASP.NET can anybody point me to any tutorial websites or books? Thanks

Now I am confused http://www.yartown.com/ I'll do it for free if you first of all write, produce, and perform a number single but I get all the proceeds in it. I honestly cannot see what is in it for the designer/developer. You don't get something for essential nothing in this world. I would say that you are also over exaggerating the amount of recognition we would get looking at you you tube videos, they all have less than 100 views!

Hello, I am new to working in OOP PHP and some think are still new to me like displaying multiple results from a mysql query, this is my query, public function getMemberAndLocationByName($name) { $db = Zend_Registry::get('db'); $name = $db->quote($name); $name = $name; $new_name = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9s]/", "", $name); $sql = "SELECT $this->_name.*, locations.name as location from $this->_name LEFT JOIN locations on $this->_name.restaurant_id = locations.id where $this->_name.name LIKE '%$new_name%'"; //die($sql); $query = $db->query($sql); while ($row = $query->fetch()) { $result[] = $row; } //die(print_r($result)); return $result; } where would I go from here to get the results out?

I never understood how people can come up with templates without initially having content, surely the true art of development and design is letting the content lead lead the user first and foremost followed up by a friendly design and accessible development? But I agree, both need a lot of work, the first one, takes less is more to a whole new level where is infact less is pretty much nothing, and the second one I fail to see what kind of client you are trying to sell yourself too with this one? Let the content and industry you are designing for lead you, not your knowledge of photoshop effects and brushes

Hey sorry to be brash and straight to the point, The use of red and green is not pleasing on the eye, nor is the typography you have used. whats with enter button at the bottom of the screen? is there a reason for will clicking on the inital link not be enough for the users experience? Learn css don't let a WYSIWG editor do it for you will learn and achieve nothing from it, I don't have time to check but I am going to assume the site is not cross browser compatible. On the up point you obviously talented in drawing and illustrating.
