I've recently changed the look of my website. What do you think?

It looks like a fairly old site, one of those that you use to see in the earlier days of the internet.

It is very very basic. The colours are fairly poor and look "tacky"

In my opinion, even for free, I expect you may struggle getting people interested if that is your homesite which you will use to try and lure them in.

I would try a redesign of it and also maybe change your colours.
The graphics deffinatly need work.

Sorry to sound negative,
Good luck with the rest of your site.
Daniel.

Hi DanielOliver. Thanks for the reply. If you think this one looks old, you should have seen the old one. It is my personal website so I don't put too much into the design but I might do so now. Thanks for the reply.

I agree that Verdana would look better. Thanks for the reply.

If you're offering web page design, you should put a lot into the design. If you don't put a lot of effort into your website, why should I trust you to do mine? You need to add some graphics to this website. The banner looks very old, and the navigation buttons are HUGE. Change those up, and also the background and that would be a huge improvement. Also, the title of your page is "HTML Tutorial". Might want to change that to something more relevant.

Hi splufdaddy. Thanks for the reply. What I meant was that I'm not going to spend weeks finely honing what is only a personal site that isn't in reality going to attract much traffic. Having said that, you've suggested some good improvements which I shall take a look at implementing. Thanks again.

Along with what others have said, you might want to consider using a stylesheet so you can get rid of all that <font color size...> syntax.

Hi cbor. I agree but it's my editor that does it and would take a lot of cleaning up each time I do an update but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the reply.

I don't like it. It's too amateurish, everything. I recommend redesign.
