Re: Noel Smith

Not a bad start, you need content to your pages. Meaning your home page for example doen't say anything about who you are, where you primarily work, you could elaborate about the type pf murals or paintings you do. Something that people searching will be looking for. Your murals page opens in a different window as does your contact us page. You should have them all open in the same windowand have full navagation on each page, not just home or back.

Hi Noel,

Its a good site. I agree with Ed with having to go back to home page everytime. maybe you can use a slide menu so you can easily access the pages and just have submenus for the murals and the paintings that way you have a static bar that can access all of your pages. Also on the image gallery, there are pages that the photos are all different sizes, my opinion is to see if you can make them all the same sizes by just choosing one of the sizes instead of having variable sizes. Thats just my two cents, so you can have a more uniform and balanced look on the paintings and murals.

Overall its a great start mate...

Thanks for your valued advice. As time permits i shall look how to add the static bar as you suggested. The
smaller sized pics were saved as small jpeg images
in my infant days of trying to understand the workings of a computer and at low quality pixels.

Thanks again

Re: Noel Smith

Hi Noel,

What you can do is set up the slide menu first together with all your submenus (for murals and paintings). Then you can use iFrame next to your menu. (make sure that the iFrame is big enough to fit your other pages. Make sure that you give this iFrame a "name" as this name is what you will use later on....

Now linking your other pages to display on the iFrame. On your menu, when you add the links to your buttons, edit your links for those buttons... make sure that you just put the name of the iFrame on the "Target" instead of the _blank,_self, _top, _parent.... That way all of your new pages just shows inside the iFrame..

Hope that helps...

Re: Noel Smith

I looked at your site in FF, it looks good. very simple with not much information. You might want to tell a little more of your history, background and training. Your murals pages have some numbering problems, the page name at the top of the browser only matches the page number on the page twice. You have a good start, keep up the good work!!
