mjh513 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hi Everyone, My apologies if this is in the wrong topic... I recently had a website developed for me and I need to make some adjustments but am pretty clueless in PHP. Let's just say the original developer has been unresponsive to my additional inquiries. *link removed* The issues I would like to have resolved immediately mostly pertain to layout. Layout - Overall, the page just looks funky, need it to have some form of border and just cleaned up - Adjustment for Resolution - The page does not adjust for screen resolution as far as I can tell - Image Sizes - Ideally, all of the images would appear in a default size (or close to it) on the home page - Page Shift- the page is shifted to the right in Firefox, I'd like it to be sized & centered in all browsers - Ads - I need help placing ads..as of now I've just slapped them in where they dont mess up the formatting too badly Additionally I need some changes made to the member/registration process. As of now the process is way to complicated for a user to sign up. I would like this to be very straightforward or possibly removed. I'd like it to be as easy as possible for users to comment on pictures and upload pictures. Also, the picture management system is not working properly. I would like an easy way to delete pictures from the system. If anyone could provide some guidance as to how I may go about accomplishing this it would be truly appreciated. I have a lot of other ideas for developing the site that I consider the next phase. As of now I just need it working and looking good for what it is.... Thanks!

BoltZ Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 You cant possibly hope to conquer this all in one thread. Divide up the tasks and go to each forum respectively.

haku Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I could swear I replied to this yesterday. Unfortunately, as Boltz says, that is way to much stuff for one thread. Many of those things by themselves are too much for one thread. And I hate to tell you this, cause I'm sure you spent some money on the site, but looking at it, it doesn't even look particularly salvageable. As for the login system - if a guy who maybe knew a bit of something (though I wonder how much, looking at that page) couldn't do it, then it will probably be beyond your skill set as well. Honestly, you are probably best off just scrapping the site and starting fresh, maybe with a new designer/programmer. If you try to fix the site you have no, you will just be trying to fix something that is broken, and wasn't going to really work well in the first place.

mjh513 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks for the advice everyone. I have decided to listen and built over from scratch. Actually using a web builder tool called webnode. I've been able to do everything I needed, best of all its free! check out the new site. I think you will agree its light years ahead of where I was a few days ago.. *link removed* Best, Michael Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133438-new-website-basic-html-knowledge-clueless-about-php-css/#findComment-695817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltZ Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Is that an insult? Well Don't make every single div into a rounded border one man. Stick to like one or two overall.

Mr_J Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It looks good to me! Layout - Overall, the page just looks funky, need it to have some form of border and just cleaned up Have`nt seen the old one but looks FUNKY... - Adjustment for Resolution - The page does not adjust for screen resolution as far as I can tell What I do is to work in % rather than PX - Image Sizes - Ideally, all of the images would appear in a default size (or close to it) on the home page I use <img src="blabla.jpg" width="100" height="100"> - Page Shift- the page is shifted to the right in Firefox, I'd like it to be sized & centered in all browsers Like I said, use % rather than px - Ads - I need help placing ads..as of now I've just slapped them in where they dont mess up the formatting too badly When using ads, I firs of all try to make the AD STYLE the same as the PAGE STYLE so the ads can blend in with the site. This will increase revenue as the "clicker" don`t see he clics on your ad. One thing on your current site, the bottom. Try to close the footer at the very end before the ads. I see you use css so its easy. This css file will allow you to change your images easily. Keep up the good work Jaco Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133438-new-website-basic-html-knowledge-clueless-about-php-css/#findComment-697546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
