Northern Flame Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 yea I agree with you, the paper edges do need some editing. and also, can you make a sample page with sample content just to get a better idea of what a working example would look like? Other than that I like that template Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81766-new-site-template/#findComment-415751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I don't really like the background. These repeating background images is kind of '90ies IMO. Choose another font than the default (Times New Roman). I know it still says it is under construction, but the links need another formatting to stand out. There aren't any anchor tags yet, but there are no styles defined to change the way they look either. The paper edges need some work as well, especially the bottom as it just ends. Code-wise I'd suggest you to move to a table less layout. It's not a very complicated layout and is therefore easily changed. If you need help with that you can post in the HTML/CSS forums. Oh, and it's spelled "Copyright", not "Copywrite" Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/81766-new-site-template/#findComment-415816 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpSensei Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I am not a big fan of Black, and Gold on a web template. The Font doesn't really match, and the border needs a little smoothing.

Daniel0 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 whats the advantage of having a tableless layout? Semantic markup, cleaner code, easier to change, bandwidth usage reduction, etc.. It also has something to do with what is called "separation of concerns". In web design you'd be talking about three layers: HTML, CSS and Javascript which are content, presentation and behavior. If you use tables for laying out your code then you will have moved some presentation into the content layer.

Daniel0 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Well, I don't know if it's horrible, it's just not how I would have done it. It was more like the usage of HTML and CSS I was thinking about. Try to google "tableless layout" to see what I mean - plenty of resources, no need to post it here since this is a topic meant for review of the looks.
