Preserved Topic: Doc want to help a beginer!!!! (Page 1 of 1)

Hi doc and all the people apart of ozone!!!! I love this Forum and hope to keep reading so many good subjects and replys. now can someone help me. im in a littel perdicament, I am getting very frustrated i keep seing all these great designs on the web that defeat the purpose of good old fasion tables. I was wondering if u could help me think up a good layout for the page. Its just a simple game reviews page along with downloads and movie reviews. Hope to here from you thenx you lots RebbelX.
P.S. my friends call me RebbelX for some weird reason so i thought i should use it.

Hey! I don't know a whole lot about good layouts, but keep it linear. The information you are giving in each sections should flow into the next. That's my suggestion, but your best bet would be to visit other sites and examine their layouts (remember to make it sites with a layout you like...obviously). Look at what goes well together, and what doesn't. The most important thing I could suggest you is to avoid the trap that nearly all beginners fall into...frames. Frames are not necassary, and depending on the number of frames you have, will multiply the loading time of your page proportionally to the number of frames that are in the page. So if you have 3 frames...the page takes 3x as long to load. If you want that functionablility...learn to use Cascading Style Sheets and Server Side Includes. To find good beginners tutorials on them go to WebMonkey.

Hope this helps.
