You have a long way to go, but you are learning so here are some tips:
- Never put text on top of text. The background is distracting.
- Please don't use Comic Sans. Even the guy who made it doesn't like it. [1]
- You need to resize your images before displaying them. The image on
the "about us" page is much larger than the size you are using, and
therefore takes much longer to load than it should Use a graphics
program to size the image to the exact size you are going to display
it at so that the filesize will be much smaller. For an image of this
size I recommend less than 20 kb.
- If you make any serious sites, don't use the W3C HTML/CSS buttons.
They are tacky and no one clicks them.
- And the last and most important thing: Don't use tables just to make
borders. Remove all the tables you have, and replace them with the
appropriate markup and styling that will give the same appearance:
border: 1px inset gray;
So the bottom could be:
<p id="footer_info">© 2006, Chicledia Ventures. All Rights Reserved</p>
and in the css:
#footer_info { border:1px inset gray; }
These are just a few tips, there are more which I'm sure other member
will suggest.
[1] I lost the link to prove it, but I'm sure another member has it.
If anyone does, please share.
