I agree with RGPHNX. You should just create a site about something you enjoy doing or know a lot about. Information about yourself is good, as no-one else on the Internet will have it. I, personally, would use DIVs to lay out a site, but they can be difficult to get right. If you are really stick for a layout then you can download them pre-made and just customise it.
Good luck with the site. |

You already have a concept in mind (a personal website).
First of all, if you're designing your own graphics, you'll have to decide on the colour scheme. Pick your favorite colours if you're confused; because if you don't enjoy the colours, no one else would. To make your website more interesting; try to make your website more unique. For instance, try uploading content which probably no other website (or a very less number of websites) would have. This would not only attract new members to your website; but also enable you to bring them back! Keep your website simple, don't overdo anything. Users prefer websites with simple and straightforward navigation. An online community would prove healthy as well. Hope that helps.

QUOTE(john_meikle @ Jun 20 2005, 02:32 AM) 1. Need Help On What To Do For Template (Tables ? Frames ? etc.) Neither: as rvalkass said, I'd go for a purely XHTML/CSS approach. Frames are particularly bad - search engines don't like them. |

For # 1, I personally wouldn't use frames. Tables are better. Plus I'd keep the navigation simple. As well, use CSS to add consistency to your website.
For #2, like a few others mentioned, choose a topic or something that you know a lot about or are interested in. Chances are your site will attract lots of people with similar tastes/hobbies. A forum wouldn't hurt, either. Hope this helps! Good luck with your website! |

QUOTE(john_meikle @ Jun 20 2005, 08:46 PM) What about tables ?  I guess a CSS layout has various strong advantages over tables, among them a couple would certainly be -- less obscure coding, and use of external templates for the sort of consistency that you get with tables only after a non-trivial amount of work. I am sure there are plenty of reasons as to why tables are slowly getting outdated and CSS is quickly becoming the 'in-thing'. Perhaps googling will help, I am rather new to design myself, lol  |
