ober Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I'd do some work on the nav... drop the images and use more CSS. Or at least pad the top a little so the words are centered vertically.I also would move the left picture down a line or two. It looks off a little when you only have one line above it.And lastly, the whole site is kinda bland as far as color. You need something that stands out.

AV1611 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ok, made some changes (centered words, colored pictures, and other little things) let me know what you think.[a href=\"http://www.BLMServices.com\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.BLMServices.com[/a] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5873-new-small-business-site/#findComment-25725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think it needs a little more edge definition.I would put a 1px black border on the right and left of the main div - it would focus the eye more on the content.Also - for the images - I would put a 1px black border around the images.A proper footer div would be good also - and give a little more colour to the bottom.-steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5873-new-small-business-site/#findComment-25793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
moberemk Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 The text of your upper nav is hard to read on those images. Your code is a hideous mismatch of uppercasing and lowecasing. And last, but far from least, there is no other pages to look at.

AV1611 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Help me understand:Is the mix of upper and lower case in code, other than being lazy, a problem for any particular browser? or is it just "good practice" issue?BTW: Mober, are you like Obers evil twin???

wildteen88 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 You shouldn't really put parts of your code in uppercase then some areas in lowercase as it makes the code look untidy just stick with one or the other. I prefer to have all my code in lowercase and indented. Such as:[code]<div> <p>Hello there</p> <h1>blah blah</h1> <p>what you doing?<br /> I'm fine you?<br /> Not too bad myself! </p> <div> Hello <div>Something else</div> </div></div>[/code][!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]BTW: Mober, are you like Obers evil twin???

ober Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Andy is right here. Definately stick to lowercase.And maybe I'm moberemk's evil twin, eh? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5873-new-small-business-site/#findComment-25862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV1611 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Mobe, you win, I'll be sure to keep small case whenever possible, and thanks for pointing that out. Ober, thanks for the good laugh at the cost of your impecable name. thanks everyone else, too!BTW, does anyone else agree with Mobe's comment:[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]The text of your upper nav is hard to read on those images.[/quote]I thought the looked good, but I'm biased LOL...

moberemk Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ober's evil twin, hmm? Ironically, that's one of the nicer things people have said to me!That being said, I definitely agree!

ober Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I do agree that the main nav is hard to read with those images. You may want to tone them down a bit or swap them out for something else.And moberemk, after all the things people have said negatively about me here, I'm not sure you want to be associated with me ;-) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5873-new-small-business-site/#findComment-25950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV1611 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 I am usually a good judge of ugly, they just don't seem ugly to me... is it the color contrast?
