Hi folks. Just mentioning a new site that I am working on as part of
an assessment for a web design course. The URL is http://au.geocities.com/peterd0n
and the title of the home page is Helen's Garden Design - Home. Now
this is not yet a real site and so the information is neither complete
nor the photos real. However, there is a Helen and she does have the
background, achievements and interests described and does run garden
design business - and will be on the web when I can get her to turn
some attention away from actual soil and plants - and family, and to
the subject of producing a web page. Getting the teenagers to finally
leave home will help of course. If you want to contact her you can
email me at in the meantime.
Besides what others have noted, if you are just beginning to do page
design it would be an excellent time to:
1. start using CSS to separate the style elements from the content in
every page you do -- it makes later maintenance much less painful and
after a day or so of learning it makes even the original composition easier.
2. test every page for compliance to all pertinent standards -- makes
pages less dependent upon the browser used to view them.
3. always pay attention to appearances when switching pages however you
style them. Having "fixed" elements jumping about even a little is
jarring and detracts from the content.
But keep at it. Nothing succeeds like steady effort.
