Ok this is just the blank type of it,


Currently the "Home" link works
The "Search Engine" News page (links to the search page)
and the Search engine itself works along with the contact page

I might rename it though. just a name that came to me

What do you guys think?

Edit: It doesn't display properly in Mozilla Firefox, I'm working on fixing that

At first I would recommend you set a fixed width to your background image. I am on a different screen res and the attached picture shows how it looks. Secondly I would strongly suggest that you do not combine DIV's with Tables. Just choose one and stay with it. (USE DIV TAGS SINCE THEY ARE BETTER AND MORE PROFESSIONAL). I really don't like that blue. I would rather use a different background than just a plain blue one. In your source code, you used a lot of style properties for each tag. Just create a stylesheet and include all of those there and define it as a class.

cool i'll see what i can do to improve it

And how exactly do i use div codes? I think i need a CSS sheet am i right?

I understand it works like a table, And i can change the WxH like this:

<div id="content" style="width: 985; height: 308">test</div>

But how would I Position them? I'm going to have a go and see if i can change it now and if i get it working ill let u know but if you could maybe just explain to be the basics of div? if I've already got it then alls good but I need to know about the CSS part of it if I need it

...yeah, that blue is kinda un-cool for a gaming site. Plus: I suggest you get a font with a more 'aggressive' [ ] look...

nothing on it is "permanent, logo etc was just to get a feel for what it would look like, the blue was a bad choice yes

Also,

I've been working on this one like all day

It is inspired by Gamespot's style, and I thought i would just give it a go

Different Navigation:
http://www.argames.zxq.net/V2/index3.html

*Please note that the header is not permanent, just to get the feel*

Only the Search engine and the index page run on the new one.

I agree with that, all gaming needs means you are including all the games, and all the games are most likely related to war, shooting, racing, fantasy... i would of suggest something more over dark colored, and more aggressive... i made these sites www.allroundelites.com ARE clan and this one i just made last night www.unusualgaming.com . Not meaning its perfect, but more over related to gaming needs... actual gaming site.

If you type a search over the web with Gaming Site, or Gaming Clan, or anything related to gaming you will see the 90percent are in a dark color.

Without reading and clicking your new links i was going to say it reminds me of something.
I think you will not be able to use it as it is, because it looks to much alike gamespot's website. But can be used as a first template and be modified a lot. Which can look really good.

Suggestions :

- Use the first template because it can be nice if its done nicely.
- Instead of blue background, use dark like black and put some design over it like boxes, lines or make it eroded and look old.
- Use a darker logo and a font which looks more aggressive.
- Of course make it compatible over FF because FF users are everywhere (i use to be a IE lover till the day i understood that FF is more for me, i like the way FF works and how it is not controlled by a super worldwide company)
- PLEASE do not use your whole right column for advertising, i suggest a shoutbox made of mysql and php which you can get for free (no link) everywhere and put your INFORMATION box on right side aswell and use the left side for other links aswell as your top navigation.

As for div, you do not need to set the div dirrectly on your html page.

the actual html / php page :



the actual style.css or what ever you call it .css



See you set these on your style.css so your html /php file does not get fat, imagine you had to set a widith and a height and a color for all the same div tags you are going to use ? just set it ONCE on your style.css and call your <div>

Simple and nice and professional and organized to use divisions on your pages.

Hope it help

Good Luck

Wow thats the most helpful post ive ever seen, Thanks for the suggestions, I will try a more darkish style thanks again for the tips

no problem, glad it helped

Ok I havn't finished this bit yet but:

http://www.argames.zxq.net/dark.html

I've temporarily removed the search engine from this and it should be alot more FF friendly

i am on IE6 now since i am not at home, i see a black bg on left and a blue lined color on the right side.

I really like the black.
THe new font you used is really nice and the propreites you added are nice, i would of move the AR Games on the left a little more and add something on the right logo.

Btw, it looks good on IE6 i do not see any bugs.

awesome yeah, I have the logo more left on my pc just i re uploaded the page instead of its frame source

so yeah, should be fixed now

So now im just gona Make a navigation for the left side

To be honest, I liked the old version better. Hope you didn't take my first comment to harshly that persuaded you to change the layout. If that's the case, I am deeply sorry.

It's no problem, I keep backups of all my websites, I still have the original

http://www.argames.zxq.net/files/light.html

The frames on it may be stretched or dead because i made the darker version a larger width and moved a few frames, easy fix if i choose to turn back

Ok i am on FF and it looks great. I personally like the way it looks, i guess you can add some gaming images to show that its gaming style

good work

Yes I concur, it looks very nice and professional. Good work!

Looks good. The shadow on the navigation is too dark though and a unique logo would add a little more to the site.

Yeah logo is still not going to be our permanent thing but the users have liked it so far we also got a sponsor who are now hosting us,

And we are also looking for a banner exchange if anybody is interested

Thanks for all of your guys help!
