Chrystal_Murray -> Website- Simple Suggestions to Improve? (8/17/2006 8:56:47)

I am fairly computer challenged...have done my best using the Front Page Help feature.

Sol y Luna Kayak Fishing School

Any simple suggestions? (Am afraid to fool around with this in the code page).

Thank you in advance.

For a complete beginner it's not a bad site. The best thing you can do immediately is to reduce the size of those pictures which take ages to load.

What you've done is used FP to link to them at their native size, which in the case of the guy on the right is 1258.95 KB. FP fools you into thinking it's made the picture smaller but it hasn't, it just shrinks the view of it whilst hanging on to the full size.

For example, I use Firefox Browser which allows me to select and view just one image on a page. When I view the picture of the kayak it's 6 times the size of my screen.

You need to open your pics in a graphics package and physically resize them down to what you see on the screen then put them back into FP. If you don't have a graphics package you can download The Gimp for free or you can use an online resizer such as this one.

Looks great. I think I would put the navigation on 2 lines not 3 like you have it now. Seems broken up lke that.

HEre are the reized pics like jaybee mentioned.

Godhall2 - 50k seems a bit heavy for the first pic?!




godshall2 -> RE: Website- Simple Suggestions to Improve? (8/22/2006 14:57:09)

true, but perfectly acceptable this day and age.

not if you're on dialup - though not many are any more i guess :)




jaybee -> RE: Website- Simple Suggestions to Improve? (8/22/2006 16:41:30)

There are still plenty in the UK on dial-up.




godshall2 -> RE: Website- Simple Suggestions to Improve? (8/27/2006 20:04:57)

what is dialup?...LOL




jaybee -> RE: Website- Simple Suggestions to Improve? (8/27/2006 20:27:24)

Buy a house in the country in the UK and you'll soon find out. [:D]
