Thanks, TDR Staff

Help me understand:

I installed 2-LOW on my H2

OK, I really think the website i made sucks... I used frontpage but all my fonts background and everything is just too plain and looks like crap. I need something that will make my site look like EXAMPLE: tdr's homepage. Nice set-up, professional looking. Can anyone help me out here?

There is nothing wrong with FrontPage. I use Microsoft Publisher for simple stuff and they are similar but can be memory pigs. I saw your website and it didn't look that bad for your first try. Look around and find ideas on other websites and incorporate them into yours. Most everything you see can be done in FrontPage. We use Dreamweaver at the office and here is an example of what a lot of hard work has accomplished:TMMI



Things like borders and shading make the site look more professional.
 
Front Page is probably not your problem. It's quite capable. It's the layout and design of the site that you don't care for. Most professional website builders have extensive libraries of graphics and background textures and fonts and so on. These are not available in a website building application and to download them is a waste of time. Go purchase one of those 1,000,000 clip art collections. It will have things you can use to make your site look more interesting.



This Horrible Example is what you DON'T want your site to look like. Use 'interesting' stuff only a little at a time. One thing per page is a good rule of thumb. Go easy on things like frames, music in the background, blinking text, watermarks, floating images, bubbles trailing the mouse cursor and so on... .

HotMetal Pro is a good html markup tool. Frontpage leaves a lot of extra code that slows things down IMO. Personally, I do 99% of my website design manually in a text editor. Very little is done on an interpreter.

Steve, you dah man! I let the interpreter do the hard part and then go back and clean what I understand up. I am not a html expert by any means but I understand the basics. If you asked me to start a web page from scratch I would be lost. :confused:
