Help build a clubhouse

Welcome to TWF, feel free to help out and critic other sites

A little graphic heavy, loaded a lil slow

the screws, make them with a brown background, then save as transparent, they have white dots all around them from the white.

I think you have the content there but in the wrong order, the top section is to deep, the welcome bit is on the right and to far down, and the link words should be beside the screws, not under them. is Jerry meant to be talking? is an animation you dont need, same as the bookmark one. dont add bgsound that you cant turn off, even thou it only loops once its a pain and it slows your site down, i was listening to a mp3 so luckly didnt hear it.

a few browser issues as well, in NS4.7, add marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" to your body tag to make the margins 0 in netscape.
If there was a prize for using the most  's you'd win lol, use table cells instead.
things like: before a table tag is useless, just add align="center" to the table tag (align in the table tag only aligns the table, not the contents, add align center to td tags for content centering)
dont use empty td tags, always add a   in them   or nothing will show in that td cell (netscape displays nothing unless that tag is used)
you need to take the text off the right columns border.

Opera6 has the same margin problems as Netscape, add the code i gave you above and it will fix this

also the layout changes into the site, i wasnt sure if i was still at your site, keep the same layout throughout
a few things to fix, and maybe reorder or make more of a top banner section and change order of things and should be ok.

Thanks a lot. Despite my handle,(geek), i am really a newbie. I created my site from scratch using frontpage (i know) but really knew absolutely nothing about the internet, web mastering etc. I was determined to learn however, and with help from people like you, i have come a long way. THanks again.

When I first look at this I'm wondering if my browser isn't displaying it right, but it looks the same in Opera 6 as it does in IE.

First thing you need to look at is the shape of your white space. You've got that wide part going across right under the board with screws, then that weird cutout part where the bookmark graphic is and the "Jerry's Workbench" part. THis is just an odd shape.

What you should do is make your whole page background that wood texture. Then create a fixed width table layout with a white background, centered in the page. This way there would just be a border around the site in the wood texture and the rest would be white. I'm just finding that there's too much wood texture in weird shapes on here.

I'm also finding that there's too much disorganized information on here. People don't really like to scroll a lot, so you should limit how long your pages are. Lose some of those ad buttons on the bottom left side, unless you really need them and definitely get rid of the captions and spacing you have around them. Also try to think of a better way of organizing your information. You've got two colunns of content here - the list of updates or the explanation of what this all about? If you're tring to get new people to join I would definitely emphasize the explanation stuff - put that in the main area and link up to the news/updates on another page.

Now, once you've got that all figured out you need to create a template and use it on every page. Every page should have the same look and feel, with a navigation menu to get around the site. Strive for more consistency from page to page.

Thanks for the honest and helpfull feedback. Have to agree with everything you said. ( God the truth hurts.) Now i just have to find the time to mend all these problems. Thanks again, and keep it coming.
