Okay, I think I pretty much finished designing my site for now. So, what do you think?

I wanted my site to be fast loading, but with all the images, it didn't work out so well. You'd need dsl to fully appreciate it. Unfortunately, I don't have dsl. Is it easy to navigate? I didn't want to put a page link to my galleries cuz I didn't want to mess up with the counter. I am going to redo the images on the left hand side of the main page. I don't like those.

Oh, and check out my faq page. Like I said, I'm not very good at explaining, so I don't know if I did a good job of explaining the faq's. I hope I did.

ehh what i'm supposed to say about this... transform your design into html by cutting smal images from the psd and place them in a table.
Give tables and frames an absolute size so the damn thing won't resize when you switch to another res.
Don't use the font courier... it sucks. Also the regular text is way to big, check the size of the font on this forum, nice and clean.

Anywayz, I'd recommend to first make a design in Photoshop.

Tree small tricks...
1. One dockument contains more than one screen of information, then it is too mutch. (ppl don't like to scroll)
2. Re use as mutch graphic as u can...
3. The more you uppdate it, the better page

Heya, I sent you an e-mail about your website but I'm going to go ahead and post this here in case you don't get it for one reason or another.

I think that your design might get a little too sloppy and complicated in places. For instance I think the large graphic at the top is somewhat pointless, it takes up a huge amount of space and looks sort of flat and out of place next to the color scheme you're using for your site.

I think your site would look nicer if your were to seamlessly mesh your drawing style in with your web design. Right now they look like two separate elements. You don't need to worry about making your drawings look exactly as they would normally appear on your front page, that's what your gallery is for

Anyways, I hope this image helps you out some. Obviously it's not a finished design, but I wanted to do something quick for you. The way your page looks is completely up to you, but just keep in mind that people prefer looking at nice websites. And you should keep your Netscape viewers in mind and fix all your errors. I've had your site crash my browser in the past and it's sort of annoying. You lose visitors that way

For all you 56K'ers this is fairly large:

I really hope this helps you some,

Okay, so more graphic. I'm not so sure about this, though. The site loads slow enough the way it is. I'll try to come up with a good way to do this.

I'll try to take care of the scrolling a little bit. You're saying that you don't want to have to scroll to the bottom every time you want to click on something? Okay, got it.

Okay, I forgot to do this in some of the pages.

The text isn't too big.

Sorry, I've given up on netscape.

Thanks for the comments about my pics. I'll try to change some more stuff in my site. Look in the future for an update.

Btw, it'd be really helpful if you could tell me what speed your modems are. DSL? 56k?

Heyz,
Pretty nice design Jezebel.

I never optimize the site for netscape... netscape sucks! But if you want to optimize it, the easiest way is to do the html again and put it in a netscape directory.
tip: netscape rounds framesizes, tables etc to 5 pixels...

PS the comments I gave about your website were for the old design... haven't seen the new design until 5 minutes ago... looks nice.

Thanks, glad you guys liked my design

bj91x... looks much much better, not so cluttered and hard to read. One major problem I see is the color of your text, I can't read your links. Yellow on white is hard the eyes

I believe that taking all of the excess graphics has really helped your design! My only comment now is that you change the other pages on your site to go with your new theme.

I find it's not hard to make my pages work for Netscape, just keep your code clean and straightforward. Either that or I build my page specifically for netscape first, and I find it usually loads ok in IE after.
