My farm's website

[DrPizza]

My wife wanted a webpage for our farm... I just do the dirty work (uploading on dial-up)
Based on the first round of this thread, my wife re-did the webpage and loaded it last night.

Anyway, thanks to this thread, (Thanks, devioustrap) we've got some of the stuff up now.

Our site




Does it look better?
(thanks)

No offense but it's pretty ugly. Keep it simple.

Hey, for what it's worth, does anyone know how to move files from a domain to a subdomain on the same server? I want to move the photogallery to pics.slatebrookfarm.

(then, I can probably make a new sub-domain for my sis-in-law to upload all her photos of the alpacas and llamas she has for sale, without worrying that she'll screw anything up on me.)

Yeah, I noticed that. That's why I told her to "do it again"... she made the new one simpler. Showed it to me, but never told me where she saved the files to.

It's the first I have ever heard of a fainting goat. That's funny

CONFIRMED

 

[Goosemaster]

you defintly need help my friend.

I'd gladly help you for free (you've helped me and other so much over the years) if I could but my skills are no where near as good as others on here. Definitely hit up rossman for some free web designing.

you deserve it

hmmm....
theres no way to say it nicely, but i really think it sucks.
like mercanucaribe said, keep it simple

Thanks for the input. My wife's redesigned the front page...

The photogallery too busy as well?

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

"But," says Man, "the fainting goat is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don't. Q.E.D."

"Oh dear," says God, "Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.


first thing i thought of. seems this animal evolved so that predators wouldn't have to run after it.

Seriously, hit up a few web page design sites/forums.

There are so many small adjsutments that you can make, which in tandem will make your site quite acceptable.

For example fixing the text in the middle, changing the colors to a more appropriate, more farmy look, and using photoshop to make the pics fit in ovals entirely.

I told her to fix those pictures!

Thanks for the suggestions... gave them to the wife. She re-designed the main page from scratch. (Still needs to work on the photogallery though)

Its functional i like it.

I'd suggest doing something different with the table borders. As is, it looks pretty plain. Also, a background colour would look nice.

Thanks for input! My wife is compaining right now that she couldn't figure out how to change the color on the borders lmao "Tell him I wanted to change them!" She's sounding irate right now because I'm making fun of her. (She's using n-vue and insists there isn't a way... I'll have to show her how.)

Put this before your </head> tag :

<style>
td {border-color: #000000;}
</style>

Replace 000000 with the colour you want, if you're using hex values. Replace #000000 with the colour you want, if you're using actual colour names, like blue. That should work.

What you need to do now is create an account at the pizzamaking.com forums.

You might either let the table width float (resize with window) or at least shrink it a few pixels. Right now the width is set as width: 1033px which is precisely too wide for most displays. If you want a fixed width table try trimming it back to ~980 pixels to leave room for the scroll bar on a 1024px display.

Or use per-centages. Personally, it displays fine for me. In fact, it could be a little bigger.

Baaaaaaa.

Looks a lot better than your usual amateur site already.

 

[Sentinel]

Looks OK, the type all in the middle is really large. Seems like it floods the whole page.
