My new webby

Overhauled my fairly crap site (now relocated at http://personal.sarawallen.com/), mainly because a unit I chose as uni had a personal professional(ish) website as the final project. Because of the nature of the handing in, no server-side stuff could be used (php etc) so it's fairly basic.

Just wondering what people think, in terms of design?

Ta!

It looks pretty well put together and well designed, my only criticism is the layout of the thumbnails on your gallery page looks a bit unorganised. Other than that, nice job :cool:

Dinomania · 29 Jan 2006 at 13:25

Hrrm that's a fair comment. Think I'm a bit too lazy to play with them more though! do you get rows of 4, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4 as well?

Jotun · 29 Jan 2006 at 13:32

Yeah I do, have you considered making the thumbnails square, as then there should be the same number of images on each row.

Or having had a glance at your source, amongst the images just put in

Code:

</div>
<div class="photo">

wherever you want a new line.

Marked improvement I think

Jotun · 29 Jan 2006 at 14:10

Much better, a great improvement i'd say. Nice job

Dinomania · 29 Jan 2006 at 14:19

Only thing is that the gallery is now doing the phantom-spot optical illusion on me, argh!

Maybe black isn't the best background colour for the thumbnails then, a light shade of grey that you've used on throughout your site? That or it's intentional

Dinomania · 29 Jan 2006 at 14:26

Grey - hrrm maybe. Sounds like a plan, let's see if it works!

Not intentional - cool effect, but it's giving me a headache!

Nice site sara.

If i'm being picky, i don't really like purple as the rollover colour on the links. The colour just feels somewhat out of place on an otherwise classy looking site.

Dinomania · 29 Jan 2006 at 14:34

Definitely better

Hehehe I know, the pinky/purple is a bit incongruous... That might be why I chose it mind you

Dinomania · 29 Jan 2006 at 14:53

Hrrmm, I have a <div> inside an <a href="something"></a> declaration - which XHTML strict doesn't like - so how should one otherwise make a div into a hyperlink?

Edit: nvm, done it now
