Hey, everyone!
I've finally gotten around to making a site layout: www.sitesled.com/members/capricevision

I think it looks okay. But it needs tweaking, and it's far from done.

What do you think?

P.S. The click news area is really old. I made this a while ago.

Looks messy. You need to sort out the frame alignment (use framesets, not iframes! I have a large window you know!). That will fix the problem of the background colour not matching. Colour is okay but you should distinguish the headings more (larger font, bold etc).

It looks just as good in IE. Except IE has broken picture boxes.

Making a site which doesnt fit on the screen in 1024x768 is a sure way to send home at least 90% of your visitors.

If you must use frames at least hide them. Visisble frames are ugly. Also make sure you cannot resize them.

When creating a website you should always make sure it can be viewed at at least 800*600 pixels (maximized window meaning approx. 750px wide) ... more people than you think still use that resolution. Even people with higher resolutions tend to have little more visible space anyways as people with 1280*1024, 1600*1200 or higher resolutions rarely maximize their browser windows.

Making a website with a dynamic size can greatly increase the usefulness of the website ... or ruin it if done wrong.

 
If you knew, I would have to kill you...
