My ICT A-Level website

Here we are. This was submitted as the template (Obvious improved upon [greatly{hey I'm using the "bracketing system"<invented by Angus>}]).

Looking back on this now is embarrassing! Haha. Can't even read the title well.

Dreamweaver doesn't force tables...

HTML isn't really coding, but that said, this is what is wrong with ICT teaching at the moment. No coding.

There are a few accessibility issues with the website, no screen readable navigation menu, the grey on black text is possibly not contrasting enough, the blue on black for hyperlinks is also an issue.

Thanks for all the feedback, to everyone who mentioned the hit counter; we have to have one. We also have to make the site with dreamweaver, so we have to use a lot of tables.. we don't learn coding at A-Level...
But I'll try to use the rest of your advice, thanks guys :)

Were you given a reason as to why you need the counter?
 
Im my Biology degree we had to make a website for our second years final term research project. We had just 1 lecture and a handout on how to do that and it was easy peasy for everyone. It was also automatically assumed that we were already profficient with word / PowerPoint / excell, the only thing we were told was not to use stupid sounds and fades in our presentations.

ICT = a complete waste of a subject. Its really just the bare basics of how to use a PC for absolute nubcakes.

Regarding programming, I had to do that in AS level computing to make a simple text based football game. Computing is what you should choose if wanting to go into this field, never ICT.

1MB image file for a banner at the top of the page, isn't great for bandwidth, especially for people with slow connections and mobile browsing. That's the first thing I noticed.
 
It is a website, you have coded a website. If that is the purpose of your assignment you have succeeded.

Design is pants.
 
The links at the top take up a lot of the page that could be used by the 'news' and 'top selling artists', those two sections could also use a change of colour tone to make them more visually separated.
 
My browser has blocked it, sorry mate but if i was marking you then you failed.

and i got 90% for my E-Comm website on my second year of my degree ;)
 
I quite like it. Keep up the work and tweaking.

Main header took a while (seconds) to load, need to sort that out.

"News" heading is offset.

Not keen on hyperlinks or the colour of them.
 
I remember when we did this. Our IT teacher came storming into the room one day telling us with amazement that we were all going to make website, he then told us all we had to do was create a word document, but select save as html file, and then it would open in IE. He was amazed rubbing one out in the corner over word html files while we all made terrible websites and got A grades lol. This was in 1999 though to be fair and it was primary school :p
 
TBH Its more like kindegarten level of work. There should be a new A level and degree for Gaming, where you play games, write reviews, make YouTube lets play videos, make a gaming blog, and get field trips to all the major gaming events and stuff.

I don't see why not, people can make loads of money nowadays by simply doing that.
