website critique
Nice use of semi-opaque areas. That works well. The red/browns color scheme is reasonably attractive. The wood texture is nice, but it sure looks weathered and kinda worn. Not sure if that's the message you want to send about this business. …

Whos job is it to accumulate the content for a website?
I agree with the above. Some reasons why I tell clients/prospects that THEY must provide me all the content are: 1) My writing style won't match their style and probably won't project the exact mood they're after for their site. 2) …

my first site 90% complete
First of all, congrats and thanks for validating your code before asking for feedback/suggestions. It sure gets old to see posts pleading for help when this basic step hasn't been done. Second, I really like the appearance. Good cohesive use o…

transitions -- is there a way to auto-start?
Thanks for the suggestion, Schmotty. If I decide to use animations I'll give it a try. Since my original question about auto-starting transitions seems to have been answered, I'll mark this closed.

transitions -- is there a way to auto-start?
Thanks for the clarification Joshua. Just noticed this this thread on transitions and page load - Transitions Only After Page Load. In it, Chris said: "It would be nice to be able to prevent or trigger animations/transitions on page load wi…

transitions -- is there a way to auto-start?
I appreciate the quick responses, EkingRDL and Paulie_D. As Phil_Lu noted, however, I'm asking about transitions.

a:visited Problem/Bug
Sorry that I don't have time to dig deeply in to this, but 2 things come to mind: 1) Long standing advice is to style your link states in this order: - Link - Visited - Hover - Focus - Active (Think Lord Vader's Handl…

A full Critique please!
First off congrats on trying something different, and - if I'm understanding correctly, in a bit of a rush. I agree with most of the comments above: The yellow is pretty glaring. Then again, it's memorable and helps your site stand out. …

Make header image scale?
Or you could keep the image in the markup (often done if it's a logo that links to the HOME page) and style it to occupy a percent of it's containing element. I'm doing that on a redesign for my art league's website. #header img…

Foundation - good tool for responsive design noobs?
traq: That's good to hear. Thanks for the feedback.

website *FEEDBACK PLEASE*
I'm afraid that I agree with StevenBullen. Too long to load - lose the flash. I think if you're trying to sell something you should get right to the content that'll lead folks to stay around long enough to buy. I tried uploading bot…

Foundation - good tool for responsive design noobs?
Thanks for the quick response, Ukando. I've bookmarked your 1140px grid and will look at it later. (FYI for any other responders: I'm not planning on using WP.)

Best up to date Web programming books?
I recommend Dan Cederholm's books. Just recently got his Bulletproof Web Design (Third Edition). While it's about 75% a repeat of earlier versions (the remainder touches on using CSS3 features), it's still one of the most valuable bo…

My site, please review!
andy_unleash You're absolutely right that many errors that the W3C validators spit out are either not really errors (buggy or not up-to-date validator?) or inconsequential. It's the more serious, legitimate errors (that you and I both saw…

My site, please review!
I must agree that the pages load too slowly - that'll turn off many visitors. Also agree that it's a nice, clean, and simple design that is easy to grasp at a glance. Nice textures, good use of transparency too. The bright colors in the …

Struggling with a transition
Such a short script - that does look ridiculously easy, if one knows enough to write it correctly. Thanks.

Struggling with a transition
I appreciate the quick replies, folks. Before seeing them, I managed to get the effect I wanted, except that it uses hover so reverts when unhovered. Turns out that my shorthand declarations weren't quite right - when I redid them longhand, it …

How deal with browser compatibility
1) Re-validate the HTML and CSS. In my case, I find that in 30-50% of the cases, something I recently changed has caused my markup or CSS to no longer validate. For me it's usually a typo (maybe a semi-colon when I meant it to be a colon, or so…

redesign feedback requested
Thanks Karl, I've looked at this boilerplate before, but it's probably time to dig into it more seriously. I've tweaked some colors on my page, and added some bottom padding to the footer text. Gotta figure out why IE8 displays nav…

redesign feedback requested
Thanks for the quick and helpful response Karl. At first, I wasn't seeing text flush against the bottom. But when I resized the browser window enough, I saw what you mean. Easy enough to fix. I had not considered relating vertical whitespace …

Useful tools
Very helpful list - thank you. I haven't used most of these, but will look into a number of them. For monitoring, I use montastic, because it's free if I set it up with the client's email address, not mine. (I think you get 3 for fr…

Hello my name is....
Nice idea for a thread - thanks for starting it. I'm Dave Rollins. I got interested in web design 8-10 years ago when I wanted a site for my photography. I bought a couple of HTML books and eventually made my first site. It was absolutely terr…

Website Evaluation
Nice looking and performing site. Clean, easy to navigate. Some nice finishing touches, and other evidence of attention to detail that speaks well of the designer(s). A couple of minor points that come to mind are: Looks like you used Trebuchet (o…

How to make compatibale a css design for all the browsers?
No - nowhere close to a genius. I've made just about every mistake possible, and have learned from some of them. Glad it was an easy fix for you.

How to make compatibale a css design for all the browsers?
srdjandizajn, Can I suggest you put your request for help in your own post? That'll keep your specific site & issue separate. That being said, I suspect some of your IE problems are caused by not having a DOCTYPE in your HTML. I recommend…

Css changing a:hover on 2 things
I've been struggling with a similar thing - I have photo thumbnails with title overlays and wanted both to change appearance when the thumbnails are hovered. Thanks Senff, for such a simple solution (that I feel silly for not figuring out myse…

How much would you charge for this?
Thanks, rudynorman, for the comments. I had already given the client a firm price. It turns out I greatly underestimated how many hours it'd take me (I'm slower than most and an accumulation of minor changes from the customer caused me to…
