I am starting on my new site now, I am going to code it all in ASP as it may look better, this way I code a sub routine for the navigation save it as a navigation file, then on every asp on the site include the navigation page and then call the function where I want the navigation menus to be.

This way if I when I come to add pages etc all I need to is change one file and not every page on the site. I could do this with frames but frames are harder for search engines to index and I feel frames can be an excuse for web developers to be lazy althouugh they work will in a lot of cases.

I will keep the site to a minimum graphicaly but will add links to some of the more creative stuff I have done. I don't believe that sites should contain too much graphics as it slows it down for 56k users.

I might put some links to some of my open source software I have made even though its crap.

 

Avoid frames at all costs. Frames are the worst feature ever to be added to HTML. Thank god that most web designers have now realised this.

They should only be used for very special situations. The Babelfish translation page is one good example where the translated URL appears in a separate frame below the Babelfish "banner".

W3 and coding ideas

If you have a bit of free time you may like to visit the w3 site and examine ther collection of ideas, code creation and validation software available for free use. If you were to get your new site validated and then use the validation banners at the bottom of the page it might help to set you apart from the others.

Frames not always a good idea.

on teh matter of websites tbh Frames are in the top 10 donts of webdesign i wont bother going on about the rest.

ASP though is ok I supose but I use PHP which is so much easier to learn and use.

if ya click the website link me ya can see what my home page is like

 

Thats a very good site its the kind of thing I want to end up with. The contents won't be anything like as good though as I am will be the only person doing the site and it will only be a very part time thing.
