Thank you
2001 called, they want their tables back
Tip: http://960.gs
Awesome stuff @Andre, just one suggestion is to work on the nav bar links a bit, I guess styling them up with a box or something. I dunno. Anyway, great work.
Designing ANY site with tables is bad practice period.. HTML is not for looks it's the barebones, CSS is for styling.
Seems like something off a photoshop idea. Rather plain, feel isn't consistent across pages.
Tables = no. Floats are so easy to use too
@kernelsanders, what are these "floats" you're speaking of? You mean divs with floats?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/float
@gubbyte, yeah, but you can't just use "floats", you need to specify a float on an element, and usually when designing, that element is div.
orly
Uhh typically anyone with half a brain knows what you mean when someone says "floats"...
`#container {
width:500px;
}
div1 {
float:left;
width:250px;
}
div2 {
float:right;
width:250px;
}`
Then clear:both;
Sorry if formatting sucks, I'm on my phone.
And as @gubbyte said. Welcome to html5.
@gubbyte, yeah I guess that would work. Even though it's not valid.
@kernelsanders, you're absolutely right. I was just being a smartass.
I figured as much :P No big deal, we're all that way at some point
It's sad to see how dominici tried to give Andre some credit for his work but Andre ruined it with his comments.
I really like the work you've done on logos @Andre and have been considering coming to you for a while now, in regards to a logo I'll be needing soon.
The site design looks pretty nice too.. and although I partially agree with your comment regarding table-based design, in the fact that it's quick and easy to implement, it really is not good for anything more than a mockup, as others have mentioned, it isn't good practice at all for a number of reasons.
The killer for me though is the statement about external CSS, and that there is no point loading it externally.
As far as I'm concerned with design, I try to keep to the following rules:
HTML - Content
CSS - Separate file, styling
JavaScript - Separate file, functionality
Good work on the actual design though, it does look nice.
Thank you @liamwithers.
It may not be the best of practices, but the site loads correctly in IE5.5 and above, with only two issues; the header logo has a border, and the CTA buttons have alpha transparency (PNG24).
I can understand the use of external CSS, but I didn't see the point if there's really only 5 shared classes per page.
@Andre tables can cause issues with screen readers, depending on how the code flows versus the way the content flows - if the table layout breaks the logical flow, then it can render the site unusable. More of a general observation than any issue with your code (as I haven't looked at it).
@Nekki
The site is structured fine in this matter - a screen reader is still able to read it, the tables flow logically (it reads through, top left-right, next row, same thing).
The only issue I see, and as I stated previously is the lack of alt tags, meaning all images will not be read.
Anyone who is good with php / html / ajax drop me a msg.
An additional Question,
Can any one tell me, whether the templates (in general) comes with a Admin Panel or thing as such so as to do things like 1 click image changer or similar things/stuffs.
Or they are mostly Manual (To be Coded for changes).
Regards,
Mike In
You'll have a hard time finding someone who sells templates with that.
Nice logo. Good work @Andre
@gubbyte
Thanks, just wants to know about it, nothing else.
Regards.
