This is my second website! The first one is here and was built in iweb. Whilst it's a nice tool to use, I felt it was pretty limiting and I didn't have much control over output if I wanted to do anything other than drag and drop.

So... I've created my personal website.

I used a template called indexhibit which gives you a really simple web interface for adding content. There are then templates you can use to style it.

This is my first introduction to CSS so I've tweaked a few things like fonts, colours, margins etc, pretty basic stuff but I think if anyone else out there is looking for an introduction to building a website this is a pretty neat tool.

Anyway, enough rambling!

Website is here: www.stuartcuss.co.uk

Let me know what you think, I've still got a bunch more things to put on it and I'm not totally convinced by the layout yet.
 
Thanks yhack. Yep that margin was bugging me, ill try and figure out how to increase it, would be good if it lined up with the bottom of 'FOLIO'.

There's a tutorial somewhere for simplifying URLs, i'll look it up.

I kinda like the horizontal scrolling so will keep it:D I'm not a fan of lightbox, just find it takes too long to load.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated:)
 
Cheers, I've made those changes:)

This is what's in .htaccess

Code: 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php
 
Thanks a lot, that worked:)

I've also tried the menu back in white, with a red line at the bottom (really like how css works, and how easy it is to find a solution to something. i.e. just google 'css horizontal line' and you get what you need...) Take a look!

I'm totally over iweb!
 
Thanks pieplough. Yeah I'm currently experimenting with different colours, that bar has been red before!

As for the text on the main page... That's something I have a question about.

How would I go about getting it in a specific font? It would have to be embedded right? Or would I just have to use a web safe one. This is something I know nothing about...!
