Ahh, thank you And yes, i use analytics, and it is very useful!

Hmmm, okay then, thanks for that

3ix seems much cheaper, and i doubt the account will get hacked when it holds such a small website. I think i will use this one although, there claim is: This seems like a lot compared to other web-hosts, is it genuine? And to Ben, when i said 'Im guessing im right', i meant that the website developer pays, not the client, sorry :L So thank you for that, my aunties knowledge for the internet goes as far as facebook, so i guess it would be simpler to use her details, instead of me having to use my Paypal account for it...

This looks good, and incredibly cheap! Do you use the silver package? Also, this may sound stupid as im guessing im right, but just incase: Does the client pay for the webhosting?

Hmm, it seems to have changed back, it was originally a lot less than that... Would you say £2 is a decent price for a webhost? I also found 'Ipage', which is £1.99

Before i start, i wasn't sure where to place this, so feel free to move it as you wish. I have finally gotten my first job, however i don't know much about paid web-hosting. Its my auntie that needs the website, and it is only a one(maybe 4 or 5 maximum) page site with her details on it, so it doesn't need much room whatsoever. There is a high chance it wont use any website programming either(PHP, Javascript etc...). I understand free web-hosting should be out of the picture for a serious website, however the only advantages i see will come from a paid web host for this website are the professional looking domain, and the fact that the website will be a decent speed to load up other pages, and from the search engine. Although i did do my research on this, im still uncertain where to go for this, however the most relevant one i found was this: http://www.justhost.com/ £1.95 a month, but im not sure if that means it will go back up to the original price(check the link to see what i mean), and i don't even know whether or not you can get a cheaper web host for what i need. If anyone has used a cheaper webhost than this, please tell me! Thanks a lot, Danny

Basically, if you edit that padding to make it padding: 15px 10px 13px 10px; then it will expand out, however then it pushes everything else to the other side of where it expands... Is there is a way to fix this, or a way around it?

Okay, so currently i have my navigation bar here: http://potatoes.netii.net/ I like the basic style of it, but it has some noticable issues. The main problem im having right now is that i don't understand how i can make the background expand out from the text, as oppose to the current effect, in which the text moves with it. Thanks if anyone can help, and if you don't understand what i mean i will provide a graphic to show you with - Danny

Hmm, i didn't actually notice i had these margins still set... im terrible for trouble shooting, its definatly something i need to work on... But thanks again

Sorry for the delay, but here: http://potatoes.netii.net/ I can get an image in the right place, but the only way i can move this into the right place is by setting a load of massive margins, but surely that will make it look messy?

I don't use dreamweaver, i cant afford it :L And the link wont really help, all i really need to know is why float: left; for the sidebar and Float:left; for the content doesn't automatically align them

Hey again guys Okay, my problem is sidebars. I have a sidebar, which i can fit into my website nicely, along with the header and nav bar. My only issue now, is that i can't put any actual content into the website without it going in the wrong place. So, i wondered, can this be achieved by playing around with the floats in the layers? Thanks alot, Danny

My genius strikes again And fair enough, in that case it looks good to me ^.^

They are all aligned for me... The only different i see is that the border is much bigger on Safari, and has a slight white line in the top left corner. Im not sure if this causes any slight size issues, but thats all i see

I made an account, and i like it. Although, the issue i had was making an account... Having to skip from the TheSocialExpo to your web design homepage seemed strange - but aside from that its great Now you just need to contend with FaceBook :L

Oh, thanks I was unaware of that bit of easy code :L

Im centering the site, and i did the other measurements in percentages, so if i use pixels then it will only be centered on monitors the same size as mine... And it seems to be corrected, but im not sure why, i just swapped some code around - but you can see the difference on the site here: http://potatoes.netii.net/ Can you see what was wrong? I wouldn't mind knowing so i can avoid it next time :S

You can just see the top of them in IE, so the sizing is changing in IE slightly, its not getting rid of the two buttons. Do you have any code that only refers to the firefox and the other browsers? I would try fiddling around with the sizing, maybe changing it by one or two pixels could make it right?

There is literally no way i can begin to try and solve this problem :S On firefox, a template i am creating works fine with the correct percentage, something around 80, however Internet Explorer and Opera require me to use 480% instead. This is the code for the weird part, its the margin-left part which is causing this hassle: #sidebar { float: left; [b]margin-left: 486%;[/b] width: 110%; border-width: 0px 1px 0px 0px; border-color: black; border-style: solid; } and for it to work in Firefox: #sidebar { float: left; margin-left: 83%; width: 20%; border-width: 0px 1px 0px 0px; border-color: black; border-style: solid; } Thanks, Danny

Sounds good, thanks for the tips

I'm hoping my issue is common to new web developers, but even if not i still need help. I consider myself fairly experienced with CSS and HTML, im about halfway there right now, but my major issue is the actual design. I draw out my website in a low amount of detail, then create it on that basis, with colors and styles labelled, however when it goes onto the computer, it never looks as good as i hope... Is there any way to solve this issue? Thanks a lot, Danny

-moz-border-radius: 12px 12px 12px 12px; This is the code from the Killer PHP videos on youtube, here: http://www.youtube.com/user/killerphp#p/u/140/AjpBnzhq8D0 I found it useful Although it only works for Firefox, its suits the majority... Also, on fireworks, i believe rounded edges is just shown as 'Bevel', or you create a round edged rectangle But that may be from a version thats quite old, so im uncertain. Hope i helped

The website is great for a first, definatly! I have only created templates so far, so your already steps above me... The only suggestion i would make is very minor, but a suggestion all the same. The sidebar at the left has images which contain the same link as the descriptive text - and i personally think it would look better if they were contained within the same link tag so that if you hover over the image, the link changes color anyway. It just shows viewers that both links take you to the same place, and it looks quite professional too

I don't use any CMS software personally, but i did use Joomla about a month ago, and i personally think creating a new template from scratch, or editing one, is quite hard as the CSS of the pages are always overly complicated than what they need... And there is a very small number of templates online, or at least free ones. I think the experienced wed designers here generally recommend wordpress, there seems to be a big stock of templates, and most people tell me its easy to use. Hope that helps, and i hope anyone else can consolidate
