SITE REVIEW: How To Make A Website

Hi there,

I have recently created the following website:
How To Make A Website

I would apreciate any positive or negative comments to help improve the site.

Thanks
Lawrence

its nice, im sure beginners will find it particually useful, however i think it may be a good idea if you were to make some html, Xhtml and css tutorials so that the website can offer the full package.

Thanks gu3,

That is a good idea, I will add some html, xhtml and css tutorials soon.

It is a work in progress.

Looks very basic for a web design website. Add a forum so people can talk web design as well and be reviewed, sort of lie ozzu.

No man! You're teaching someone how to make a website while your own has validation errors in it ... http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ite.com%2F ... That's like me giving drum lessons with only one drumstick ...

No but I'm not here to diss you, I actually like the site, maybe you could put "back to top" links next to each "article", but actually I would rather suggest making your homepage shorter ...


I think that would be cool ...

Thanks for the comments. I will add a forum at a later stage.

I will also add back to top links on the article pages

Hello lajocar

I like the site, it's straightforward and well-structured. A few small notes on consistency mainly:

- you are using too many different fonts across your pages, for the menu, for the header, etc. Try to stick to just 3-4 different styles

- the right margin for the text on most pages is missing, see e.g Home - the text is quite glued to the google ads

- no current menu item effect. Also the menu items on the left look a bit blurred - you might want to improve the image quality or replace the images with text

- on some pages below the page title you have a line, on others - not. Unify this across all pages

- the contact form is not working, suppose you are still working on it

- on some pages the left menu is centered, on others - left-aligned

That's it from me, good luck to your website!

Thanks Chiara for the great advice.

I will have a look at the things that you highlighted.

the main thing that bugged me was the fact that the main links are images AND they have no rollovers =/

Hey,

Your site is a table driven layout, you could improve the site with CSS. Try typing "Piefecta" into google, they have the exact template you're using but without tables.

Cheers, Prime ...

Thanks prime, I will check out the CSS template.

I have updated my site and used CSS and absolutely no advertising

I also included rollovers on the navigation.

Tell me what you think of it.

Thanks

I like the no advertising. A++ for that.
Wish I would have seen this site about 3 weeks ago when I started my site.
I like it, its simple..all info right there
Could use some forums
