I'm trying to do it in HTML (with the help of Netscape Composer) and use frames, but I'm getting into problems. The most obvious is the page header. I can't seem to get the two sides of the images (in seperate frames) to butt up together. The reason for seperate frames is to allow for "title" changes in the top right frame without having to load a new header image. So, do you have any suggestions? Also, any comments, good or bad, are always appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Checkers

Brian,
Didn't disect the code (not my favorite thing to do), but is the cell spacing or padding causing the break? I see you have the first table set at "3" for both.
Is that possibly causing the gap?
Just a thought...

Hey Checkers, Did you ever check out BoogieJack.com? He's got a great site with lots of tips for web designers. Also, for a reasonable fee, he previews a site prior to publication to optimize it for search engine recognition and more. He would be able to tell you what's going on with the header/banner. --Joyce

border edge The border edge surrounds the box's border. If the border has 0 width, the border edge is the same as the padding edge.
Remove the padding and check what you have then.

On the table cell (not frame) that your logo is in ... try setting the cell width to the same as the graphic.

Brian,
You may want to shrink your logo just a tad and make it part of the top header which would go all the way across then you wouldn't have to worry about it. The column on the left wouldn't have to change either just put it below the header and you should be fine.

That's the first thing I noticed. I opened the page in Dreamweaver and the table cell that contains the logo is larger than the logo image itself.
Another way to layout a page and make it work every time is to use Layers instead of tables. You can set sizes and specific locations for Layers thus you can line them up perfectly.
Check your Vehicle Graphics Page, the heading reads "Trucl Lettering.. yada yada" Posted by Checkers (Member # 63) on :
Thanks for the replies people, It looks like I gotta start looking at the coding. I knew it couldn't be that easy Any comments on the overall look or feel/navigation?
Thanks again,
Checkers

I like it, no scrolling, easy to read, some images, but not enough to overload the brain. I noticed some spelling errors: clientele, consistent, so you may want to double check your spelling and have someone else go behind you.
Ok, I went to the portfolio page, and personally I've never liked the jump down the page type of navigation you've got there. I don't like to scroll that much either and that many images that tight on the screen is alot to take in. Just my opinion.

I think I got it now people. Besides the wrong sizes in some of the coding, I also had image issues from the exported file. I'm fixing the code now and I brought the images into Photoshop to trim 3 pixels off the edges where they were supposed to butt together. I'll be double checking for typos and reediting the photos as I go too.
