Hello all, basically I have a team project for a uni module. All of it is done really and the object of the project is working with XML/XSL and providing transformations of a webby. For example we have a pdf version, rss feed and mobile version.
However now we're done I realise our site looks dung and although I dont want to create a masterpiece I think it would do us well to clean it up a little bit. I've started attempting so but frankly I think I made it look more dung!
My plan was to use an overall container over the individual article posts, though this stripe effect looks dire to me, stick with a darker grey than the article posts? Was also going to add in a footer with would basically be the reverse of the header only smaller, maybe a smaller logo in there too. And yes I am formatting the text in the articles as we speak.
So any ideas just to clean it up a little so it looks alright? Nothing fantastic as I think it doesn't even get directly marked or is negligible
*EDIT* Or perhaps would you advise a complete overhaul anyway since its that dreadful?
