I just did this site for a customer: http://www.holistic-psychotherapy.iinet.net.au

I am not sure of the background colour, though.

Any comments/suggestions?

Thanks in advance

The background looks alright except it doesnt blend perfectly with that image. Maybe you should try a little bit darker background color. There doesnt seem much to the layout but besides that theres nothing particularly wrong with it ...

Thanks for your reply,

I tried to get the title background the same as the page background, but i can't

In photoshop i used the html colour code #99CCFF, which is the colour code for the page background.

I can't seem to get them the same colour.

Any ideas?

Yeah, depending on the color depth of the computer viewing the page, the BGCOLOR specified may (or may not!) be exactly what you specified. (Known bug.) Try creating a GIF image maybe 100 pixels square in the color you want. It'll be only a fraction of 1k. Then you specify both the BGCOLOR *and* the background="blue.gif", and you'll have sidestepped the problem.

The saturation on that blue, btw. It's too intense for my tastes. I would go to the "Image/Adjust/Hue Saturation" menu option and drop the saturation down, the brightness wil stay the same so that text can be read, but the blue won't be so basic and heavy. Subtlety makes for a more professional look.

Your pal, -doc-

thanks for the reply doc, i didn't think of using a background image instead.

Ur the master

Even thought you should use a gif for the BG, I suggest keeping the bgcolor attrib in the body tag so that it looks ok loading. Right now it is loading white and you see the jagged edges of the graphics. Maybe you could put a boarder around the photos to incorperate them into the page more. Making them blend in looks more professional. Good work here.

thanks for your help, the bgcolour attribute is back, but im not sure what type of border you mean.

thanks

This is a tacky example but you may understand what I mean.

Another example where the border was made once to fit all the images.

You've got a recurring spelling error; you've use the word "storeys" instead of "stories" and "storey" as opposed to "storied". The first was on your history page and the second on the economics page. I didn't proof read the whole thing but those jumped out at me.

thanks a lot for your reply guys

I lashed out today, and bought a HTML book, instead of using dreamweaver

I decided that i must have been fooling myself by thinking that i wouldn't have to learn HTML!

its got nothing to do with the subject of this post, but that doesn't matter.

thanks for all your replies, they are much appreciated.
