Hi all
This is my first website. It is something that i have always wanted to do.
Please let me know what you think of it and any ideas would be very helpful indeed.

First off, you might want to fill in the gap on your USGP page for lap record as: David Coulthard - McLaren Mercedes MP4-15, 1m14.71s 2000.

Yes, I'm an F1 fan and as such think you've done a great job on the site. This is a ton of information and you have it well laid out and easy to navigate. I would suggest that from the Calendar page you have each circuit link to its assocatied map page just as you have the results page link to detailed results of each race. In fact, you might save yourself some server space by linking to all pertinent circuit info from the calendar page, or something along those lines.

Also, just as you've used a grey backround for completed races, I'd try to use something along that line to differentiate between calendar items, etc rather than using table borders. I think you can get a much cleaner look and feel.

Having said all that, for a first website I can tell you it puts my first site to shame, and probably the next few I built too! Well done.

(Forza Ferrari!)

Thank very much Micael for you kind words and advice.
I have added the David Coulthard info (thanks) well spotted.
I have decided to delete the calendar page, as the info is also on the results page.
As for combining info for results, venues date etc, i am looking into that, thanks.
I am going to experiment with the no borders idea aswell.
Thanks again.

I like it. Very well organized and the information is laid out really nice. One Change is the colors of navagation. I see yellow, blue, and purple (purple doesn't come off that good) as I click the links. I think 2 colors would be good and white should be one of them.

Interesting idea! Checkered Font that turns green upon mouse over.

Anyway. Good Job. Like the way the pictures are beveled. Gives it class.

Later,

John

Hi Woof.

I really like the way the yellow car looks on the black background. It would be super classy if you removed some of the other graphics and added text to that page, explaining what the site is about, what people can expect to see, etc.

You need to give your home page a descriptive title.

I do think it would look better to get rid of the cell borders. They look "clunky." I am also not a fan of beveled edged graphics on websites. They make me think of Victorian decor...leaded glass, etc.

It would be good to add the main navigation to each of your pages.

The text would be easier to read if it was in a sans-serif font, and either a very light yellow or tan. Reading lots of white on black is stressful on the eyes.

It is obvious you have put a LOT of work into this site. Since you have always wanted to do this, I hope you have enjoyed it. :-)

Hi Goober
Thanks for your comments.
I have changed the font to cream as white is very hard on the eyes after awhile.
What do you mean by: my home page could do with a more descriptive title? Isn't the home page descriptive in itself?
Anyway, thanks for your advise as i am always willing to improve my site.

The title of your home page should be the title of your site. That's how search engines will be displaying it.

F1 Grand Prix Pitstop-Car, Driver, and Team Information

...something along those lines

I like all the graphics you've used on the home page, but I do agree with getting rid of the beveled edges on the photos. You also should consider not taking the compression down so far on the photos and leave them a bit sharper. AOL will further compress your photos beyond what you do (unless the AOL user has image compression turned off, but many of them don't).

You might consider renaming your files where you used uppercase to using lowercase only (ie. Teams > teams). Just nit-picking here... it's a good habit to get into.

Nope - the <Title> Home Page </Title>
is the Title of the document, that's what needs to be changed
