    Get better high quality images and better buttons. Also needs a better layout and also your buttons disappear when you change page.

    Use a single colour background, use cleaner looking logos and use a different font.

    It seems a bit tacky tbh.

    I tried using iframes for my site, but different browsers kept displaying it differently. They do help keep a good clean look to your site though.

    (mini hijack: can anyone who's good with this sort of thing help me out with this? PM me if you can. Site is www.stuartwood89.com.)

    You can have your thread back now. So yeah, less really is more when it comes to the web.

    You guys both need to use Include directives to display a common block of HTML in multiple pages.

    Here's how you could do it in php. Its also possible to do it in shtml which most hosts have even if you don't have php.

    1. Rename index.html to index.php. You don't HAVE to put any programming code in it to do this.

    2. Not really a step in the tutorial but anyway; in my example index.php starts like this:

    Code:
    <h1>a header I want on all my pages</h1>
    
    <p>some sentence about something</p>
    3. Create a new file called inc.head.php and put ONLY the following in it. DO NOT PUT THE USUAL HTML, HEAD, TITLE, BODY etc in as that'll break your page, horribly.

    Code:
    <h1>a header I want on all my pages</h1>
    4. Edit index.php to be:

    Code:
    <?php include("inc.head.php"); ?>
    
    <p>some sentence about something</p>
    5. On every new page you make eg page1.php put:

    Code:
    <?php include("inc.head.php"); ?>
    
    <p>the rest of page 1</p>
    In order to make a common linked menu, just cut and paste that chunk of HTML into a file called "inc.menu.php" or something, and in the exact space you used cut put an include statement.

    If either of you want a direct example please reply here and I'll cut the chunk out of your pages' View Source and show you directly.

    I'm happy to answer PMs, but if you reply here, everybody learns :)

    Well, its a good canvas. But i shoud follow the ideas of Zoon, and maybe its a good idea to make your menu text bigger. Your site looks so small because you dont have much text or images; also its wide.

    Ive updated mine heavily now.

    Take a look:

    www.stuartwood89.com

    Still not perfect. I need to find a way of letting viewers flick through images like in an album but I have no idea. Any suggestions?
