Hi and welcome to DEVPPL

I would suggest another color for the background, and try to work on a better logo. Check out the tutorials here on DEVPPL, look in the Photoshop section for great logo tutorials.

FF is firefox and it may need re-sizing because the tables go alot bigger than they do in IE (internet explorer)

You can see if you find any good vertical menus on this page, I think they will be much nicer:

Have looked at a few different menu types. Can anyone tell my why a menu is better than buttons, as some of the tests i have tried dont seem quicker.

Any advice would be appreciated

A menu is much faster loading and easier to modify.

You could keep this logo, but you should modernise it a bit. Try using Photoshop and check out some free font websites around the web. That should take care of the logo Smile

Hi all,

Thanks for all the advice. have now changed the logo and have a menu instead of buttons. One thing,.. the menu i have installed was pre made and whenever a button is pressed it opens up a new window. Is there any way of opening it up un the same windows (Is it Target="_blank"?). have tried lots of things and nothing works. park of the code is below. Any advice or comments would be greatly received

Regards

Phil

Nice effort but yes needs some more work.
I also am very new to computers I have only been using them for about 8 months.
I know how hard it is to get started there is so much to learn with web developing, everyday I am learning so much more.

Anyways back to your site there are a few things not working quite right.
But think the layout does need changing as mentioned.

Also please do take a look at my site for me and let me know any of you comments or Idea's on how to improve it, as this is also quite new and still needs improving, though I am thinking of just remaking it completely soon, I just need to finish the one I started to make in Front Page first.
