jcombs_31 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Just to be honest, it looks pretty terrible. There isn't really one posative comment I can make. I dislike the colors to start. The banner or logo looks pretty terrible You have two ugly boxes just floating around along with your content. Nothing is held together, nothign flows at all, time to start over.

jcombs_31 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 so why are you trying to design a website if you know nothing about how to do it? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15124-my-social-networking-site/#findComment-61040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 You answered your own question there ->Learn CSS and XHTML.You also need to do a bit of Graphic Design. - Gradients and Water Themes with light colours In My Opinion.You will also need to learn some php & javascript and put it to use. (currently the contact form uses bravenet stuff with ads!)So these are the things required: CSS, HTML, PHP (or similar), Graphic Design, JavaScript.Pretty sites which look nice, are easy on the eye sell. Perhaps you might want to go back to 'bodging' some templates into what you require.-steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15124-my-social-networking-site/#findComment-61041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 try looking at some photoshop layout tutorials. those are a good place to start. After you get a good layout, then you can just plug in all of the php elements Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15124-my-social-networking-site/#findComment-61268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
