Good evening all.
I would like you to take a look at my first attempt at a website. It's promoting the fact my Weimaraner is due to bear some young.
Not trying to sell them on here would just like you to take a look at the site itself.

Thanks for looking.
 
First of all I'd get rid of the Flash intro, it doesn't really add anything to the page. On the home page I'd also lose the big picture at the top as it sends the rest of the content right to the bottom of the screen, on smaller screens it could push the rest of the content off the bottom. Ideally the photo would be in the empty space to the right of everything else.
 
Yeah i'd lose the flash front, if you want a intro page I would make it 'dog' related.

I'd also, as above post says, would lose the big photo from the top. It overtakes the page far too much.

I would have the intro at the top and maybe a smaller photo at the bottom.

I would change the text on the 'About me' page. Not sure what to, it just does not look right.

I hope I have not offended you in any way with my comments!
 
I closed your website the moment it resized my browser. Don't EVER resize the browser window mate.
 
Yep, resized my browser too. Definitely agree about the flash intro, it doesn't bare any resemblance to the rest of the site. I use a widescreen laptop and when I enter the site, all I see is the big photo at the top, I thought it had just opened a jpeg until I scrolled down and saw the actual site at the bottom.

The structure of the site itself is noce though so it wouldn't take too much to sort the issues.
 
Thanks for the advice. You must understand I do not know what I did to make your browsers resize, sorry about that.
I am struggling with the big photo at the moment. It is on a template and I am going to try later to resize it. I agree it is too big.
When I have sorted it I'll let you know.
Any further advice is welcome.
As I say I am not computer literate at all.
I don't get most of the jargon and hope I didn't screw up anyones settings.

So sorry Wayne,

I must say I admire anyone having a go and well at least you've managed to get something up on the server and displaying - That in itself can be a challenge to some people.

I'm afaid it doesn't work for me, but as I say well done for getting that far!

IMHO You might be better off doing it in some other software ideally a WYSIWYG, there was a software someone was raving about on here and said it was good if not better than Dreamweaver and I think it may have been "Free" - I can't for the life of me remember its name.

Hope someone on here may come up with its name.

Once you get the layout right, you can then start looking at the code and try and understand what it is doing.. Thats how I started out.

I am by no means an expert though.

Good luck with it.
 
Thanks for that. I really do appreciate it and I know it does look amateurish. The only problem is having time now it is almost upon us.
I was planning a personal website soon antway. I'll definitely keep your link until then.
I have changed it a bit including the large picture. But it's pretty much how it's gonna stay until the puppy images go on.
