Hi

 

This is my website;

 

berkshireparanormalinvestigations.org.uk

 

It's extremely basic and I would like to vamp it up a bit. Problem being, is that I can not get my head around dreamweaver, so I have been using notepad

 

Is there a 'foolproof' webdesign software or 'how to' guide, that even a simpleton, like myself, could work from?

It's not really about using the right software - its about learning the code - so using notepad you've got the right idea. I started out by using Notepad++ - it gives you helpful syntax highlighting and such. I also recommend buying this book to get to grips with CSS.

 

Good luck!

Thank you, is HTML supposed to give you headaches lol

This Web style guide can be helpful.

Yes - web developers are masochists

Yep, and most perverted of them use w3schools tutorials...

have a look on adobe website for tips. also check this out. <a>http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/dreamweaver/</a>

 

also just a thing on different note, check spelling as some of the pages have incorrect spelling on them.

Cheers, that was down to the last guy, had a habit of not spell checking. Now I've taken the reins (or attempting too), things are turning out better.

Bravo for teaching yourself HTML. A few notes: The feedback link isn't linking to another page. On a few of the other pages, when you go to them the menu, which was once nicely laid out on the left margin, is now at the top, in basic text and missing anything appealing. The "interviews" page could use a makeover. Also, maybe a lighter text then the grey. It is somewhat straining on the eyes. Keep working at it!

Thanks x

 

There are a few pages that still need updating, as the greeks say 'slowly slowly' lol Pat actually did the redesign, as I was about to have a nervous breakdown

 

The feedback issue, i think is just me having to change the links on other pages. And yes, I've got rid of the comic san text (i think)
