i hope you're not being marked on that. You say you're doing a course? I'd get my money back.

alic

i got 1 of the top grades
i did write reviews
no just an ordinary course

alic

and the reviews are small because i had only a week to make the website

change the colours and grapics it looks like someone broke their nose and sneezed on the screen, and would this not be better in some area of the comp forums?

Don't be silly. AH is the dumping ground after all.

Very retro!

Still, it beats reading someones blog. Thats for sure.

It hurts my eyes. And reminds me of 1991.

if your going to be doing something like you outlined above, id recommend you go for a content management system like joomla http://www.joomla.org/

its a bit more complex, but simple after a while and you do need a database for it.
Ive used it myself, www.sparky-internet.com

It is pretty good for a first attempt.
You should learn css as it will improve the look of the fonts and really cleans up the look of the page.

GLaDOS

I did the same course!

i'm not having a go at your web development skills, but you needn't have done a course to build a site like that. there's tonns of resources online. it seems like a mickey mouse course to me. let us know the name of it, so we know when to avoid them!

take a look at this www.lynda.com

keep it up!

WexCan

As has been said before, give the guy a break, it's his first attempt.

Dave!

Pretty good, well done

The course is in the DCU its for Transition year students(and the occassional 5th years)...
You get a week to learn basic HTML and then use it on a web design of your choice.
We only got to use editplus and IExplorer. Everyting else was restricted even paint!!!

tanx to all
it was a first attemp and i am proud of it
its not brilliant (i know that)
but im proud of my work

steveland?

Man when I look back on the site design I made in first year of college in my Web Communications module I shudder...

http://www.student.dcu.ie/~duffs3/assign/ < look at how crap that looks...

But it's functional and that's what matters... get the basics before you go worrying about design and making it look purrdy.

I like to think I've come a long way since making that site

[Jackass]

fair play, nice job. I wouldn't put professional programmer & graphic designer on your cv just yet, but it's a good attempt.

alic

i think thats good it looks neat and cool

Setun

It's functional, it does what it says it does. If I was doing it, I'd pick any font other than Times New Roman, it's too boring and it's not particularly suited to the style of your website. But seen as though your resources were very limited it's no too shabby.

BTW Where's the gamecube section!

So YOU'RE the ones who took up LG01/LG25 the last few weeks *narrows eyes and plays dramatic music*

At least they taught you the basics of HTML. Not too bad for a first site. I'd suggest www.webmonkey.com to further your knowledge of web design... (if you're interested that is)

Oh..aand... there's no such thing as a <bgcolor> tag....bgcolor is an attribute that you put into other tags. If it hasn't been graded yet, I'd suggest removing that before it gets graded. Could lose you a few marks. either that I've just conveniently missed it in every web design tutorial I've ever read..

alic

i already got marked i got an A*(1 of the top grades)

where does it say bgcolor

BuffyBot

im proud of my work

Good. Good for you.

Wow.. well done

where does it say bgcolor

<Center><bgcolor="red">PS2 - Cheats / Latest releases / Reviews</bgcolor="red"></center>

when somebody says "look at my website design" for some reason it's a reflex for me to read over the code .... yeah I need a new hobby..

Giblet

There's nothing special about it, but if it's your first website I can't really comment. A lot of people would do worse. Were you not allowed to scale down images? The Mircosoft one is 1500px * 1500px, I **** you not.

ando

yea fair play. Its good for your first attempt, but its still $hite

AARRRGH

alic -

Take a look at how other websites structure themselves, what colours they use, and what fonts they use. I learnt HTML from viewing the source code of webpages I liked, and then editing them.

Your webpages reminds me of the first webpage I made - 13 years ago. I'm surprised the colleges haven't moved on from using <center> etc...

Flukey

I teach HTML. It is good for a first attempt. You still have a lot to learn. Check out using styles and style sheets.

Dont mind him alic, Its 10 times better than this effort http://www.myspace.com/kemosabemusic

HTML validation fails though. need a DOCType for starters.

Seriously though, decent first effort, I could barely use a PC before I started college, so you've already got a head start on people like me.

BrokenArrows

Im in a software development course and we had to to a basic webpage for a small project and all our lecturer wanted was lots of pretty colours.

I had a nice standard system of colours each page was identically formatted and looked great.
Got an ok mark

Some of the others had webpages that looked like they should have been back in the day of flower power and got very high marks

Blisterman

I'd recommend changing the background.
Tiled backgrounds like that look very amateurish.

Yes because a MySpace page is the same as making your own website...

projectmayhem

does this thread not count as spam or something?

(i'm just trying to end the pain)

Ruu_Old

its a good start, it has the basics of the website in there. keep try and keep learning, remember this lot werent making websites when they were in the nappies and had to start just like you have, so dont worry keep it up!
