Website Review and Suggestions

#1 (permalink)

hi, this si my very first site (almost done), i would like some advice on how to make it better, it's www.jq-designs.com the photo editing and graphic design pages aren't done yet though

First I like the design, but on the index page I think there is was too much white space near the bottom. Might want to add some more content.

The about and contact page might want looking at aswell. White space again bottom right.

The website doesn't validate on the W3 Validator. You might want to have a look at that.

Apart from that I really like the design.

That's your first site? Great!

Only things I can really point out are

- Instead of tabled design use CSS (<div>)
- Put a contact form (time for PHP learning ^^)
- Search Engine Optimise
- Make <meta> description
- Increase visibility of text where the background is in top left cause the background can clash with the text

1. why should i div tags? is it better than tables?
2. where can i learn some php?(i started out with my sql but couldnt understand it, you should work with mysql on your ebhost's server right?)
3. what dou you mean by 'Search Engine Optimise', like make it appear on google for example?
4. in the photo editing page i made a flash movie, what should i use the flash movie or lightbox?

Add a sitemap in your website and add more content.

1. Well, it's better for designing once you've learned. It's also the way it was meant to be. I mean I have no problem with tables but now I've leaned more towards DIV's because of web standards and all those fussy web compliancy huffers that scream at the sight of tables in page design

2. www.tizag.com www.w3schools.(com or org i dont remember lol) theres lots of great php tutorials but make sure your host supports it.. its great to learn!!

3. Like optimize your pages for the search engines, like the titles be more search engine friendly with rich keywords etc, and keyworded <h1>'s etc

4. sorry i don't understand this one but the flash looks good

Again, great job on the first site, you really beat my first site off the map (well I was 11!)

I like the layout and colors. I think that it could look better if you made the bottom not end at the bottom of the page, but make it curve off with a sliver of brown at the very bottom of the page.

It would also look better if it was centered, I think. If it was centered the site would be easier to use for people in 800x600 resolution.
