Hi
I’ve been grappling with CSS in my spare time and have come up with this site layout – [URL=http://www.round-the-bend.co.uk]www.round-the-bend.co.uk
However, it is a bit ugly for some browsers and doesn’t cater well for every task.
I want to create a very simple and effective design, similar to [URL=http://www.alivewithtechnology.com]www.alivewithtechnology.com
Thing is, it obviously isn’t quite what I need so I’d need to tweak it. I’m always unsure about doing that because I’m not sure what bit to chop out and what to alter.
I believe the best bet is to start from a blank canvas, set a background, create an area for the important stuff to go, divide that up into content and navigation etc, then deal with each of those portions separately too.
Does that sound right/wise/sensible/over-complicated?
In the past I have found it can take an age to get a design in place, is that because my skill level is poor or is it because I use Notepad when I’d be better off using a bit of software?
Help…..ta!
