" Backwards compatiblitiy" - site critique - 7/8/2002 14:27:55
I' d like some citiques of a few of my sites, most of which I made before learning a lot of good stuff at Outfront. If at all possible, I want to go " backwards" so to speak and clean up the html. I think the biggest problems can be found on home pages where I made the most changes and used the most tables.
I hope to improve my use of tables and cells; and learn to properly optimize sites for search engines. Tell is like it is.
I' ll only post one site at a time occassionally. Here' s the first:
www.lbevents.com
Much thanks in advance, gail

Gail,
Two things that I noticed:
1. My preference is for a bit larger text in the links. Personal preference of mine.
2. The ragged left text on the form leaves a bit to be desired: http://www.lbevents.com/invitation.htm

thanks, charles!
I went in and made some changes. I used 8 point verdana type instead of arial. A little bigger, though not much.
And I changed the arial narrow text to arial (#2).
Was wondering, did you happen to look at any of the other pages? I used arial narrow on them, too, in a number of instances: 10 point for testimonial quotes, and 8 point for credits. Do you think they are okay?

Gail,
I think everything looks fine except for the text labels and form fields that Charles mentioned. It doesn' t look neatly aligned.

Thanks, Swoosh,
Since I' m going to redo the entire page, now' s a good time to ask a few questions.
What' s best way to align fields within a form; with a series of stacked tables, or a table with many cells? I' ve always been hesitant to place a table within a forms table, but perhaps I' ve been incorrect.
Thanks,
gail

Gail,
Your form is certainly ledgible.
For that particular form I would use a table with 2 columns with multiple rows. Column 1 would be for text lables " right aligned" and Column 2 for the input fields " left aligned" . That' s just me though.
