do you know anything about CSS? Regards, Jamie McCoy

Ehab - Yes, using Styles,(applying CSS directly to html text) or Cascading Style Sheets (simply another text doc in different code language that's linked to site) would allow you much more control over your layout. The title page seems fine - maybe see if you can center top logo...the gallery is okay, too - I just don't like moving text :-( ! Are you looking for uniformity of design? Maybe similar colors on each page, or the same navigation area on each for negotiating through the site? Do a bit of web research, or get yourself a book on CSS - it'll really help if you need to make changes later if you have all of the formatting on a separate .css page! Let's know when you have more finished? Good luck to you, El.

If you are after advice on which colors to use, take my advice and ask for a woman's opinion. As a male, I have to grudgingly admit that women generally have a better sense of design and use of color. (Sorry to all you male designers out there, but it has been scientifically proven.)

I think colour choices are a strictly personal thing, you will always get supporters and detractors of whatever theme you use. So let it be your personal preference, but try to avoid anything too extreme. One thing you ought to do is use web-safe colours where possible, to prevent the slight differences in the way browsers can interpret non-standard colours. Even a browser on a Mac can see a colour a diffferent way to that same browser running on a Windows PC. Search with Google for "web-safe colors" and it should offer many sites with a visual display of what these colours are, along with the HTML code for each. Also do try to ensure that you create a clear contrast between background colour and foreground (text and graphics colours). This will enable the majority of visitors to see the page content clearly, including people with a sight problem or colour blindness.
