Re: WebSite pointers needed

Hi James,

Took a look at your page,

First the specs, 56.6 Kbps Modem, PII-300, 160MB of Ram, 200MB Browser
Cache.

The page loaded pretty quickly and I liked that. You have a lot of Graphics.
Which could of slowed the page down. But they were all optimised. You've
gone for a Table layout. Using sidebars and this is good, it's nice to see a
break from Frames :). Allthough some  would say that you could whack the
Border down to zero Allthough this only works when you don't want people to
know you are using a table.

Unfortunately this has created a few problems around the site with spacing.
It's nice to see the Validation marks on your pages. I'm not too keen on
some of the layout, it doesn't look spaced out that well. There's a lot of
empty space floating around.

I'd either Shrink down the big E-Mail Me Graphic and move it over to the
Left Column or use a text link. The Graphics a little to big (Not File Size)
but actual size for my liking.

The Background image is nice and faded. I'm not really one for Background
images but I found it interesting, it didn't distract that much which was a
good thing.

For your Links page, you have a lot of links through there and well it took
a long time to navigate around, adding in Anchors would really help
navigating here (More so if you added in a Back to top anchor too).

I'm pretty sure that it's a home-page, it doesn't seem to do anything other
than introduce you to the world, and share some links etc.

For the content, I can't really help you with that. Allthough a lot of your
links seem to be pointing towards technical stuff to do with webdesign.

    Subject: WebSite pointers needed


    Hello Neighbors, and Fellow children of Earth:

    I need someone (Anyone at all) to give me some pointers about this
website
    http://coyote.accessnv.com/melchzdk/james
    It's my personal page, and I'm wondering what category it might fall
into. I
    also think it lacks on anything remotely being content. I have been
working
    on it for almost two years and still can't see what to do with it. Also
what
    is the best way to organize a link page?

    Thanks in advance.


    SMILE! <<<GRIN>>>
