Hi. Please could you take a look at a site I am designing for a friend. Some pages have not got all of the photos yet and to profile is still waiting but take a look anyway. The site is Ian Edwards - Somerset based Carving Sculpture.Bronze sculptor.. Thanks in advance.

Very artistic, it's nice. Maybe to put border around pictures in gallery.

Looks nice, but just curious, why flash? You could have easily done that the site with css and html.

Hi camp185. Thanks for your comment. I used flash for the main picture because I needed to fade it in and the title needed to scroll in as well. The menu uses CSS and the other pages are coded up in HTML. The preloader is JS but only because that was easier.

I would also recommend using CSS and HTML. it is a more user friendly way of building sites, and it is also much easier to manage and maintain long term.

Hi, thanks for the advice but can I achieve these effects using CSS or HTML that will pass validation?

Attention:

It says:

Warning: fopen(photo/s12.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /vhost/vhost5/i/a/n/ianedwardssculptor.co.uk/www/Gallery.php on line 35
can't open file

When i click the images on page Sculptures.

I suggest you using Xhtml and Css too like other friends.

You are a very good artist. I respect you.

Congratulations.
