The group that I hunt with has it's own website. I was put in control of making a new one and was wondering if I could get some help? Could you please give me some ideas and possibly help me in creating it? The link to the site is http://kyhunting.co.nr. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated!!

http://kyhunting.co.nr/ gives me a blank page.

Checking the source... Ah, a JavaScript redirect. I assume your real site is the one at http://kentuckyhunting.50webs.com/

Anyway...

The fixed-width design forces horizontal scrolling in my normal (non-maximized) browser windows, and even in maximized windows unless I turn off the task bar, etc.

The links page would be more useful if you had a brief comment next to each site link.

The site would benefit from more content, either general hunting (or Kentucky) content, or more specific content about your group, where you hunt, contact information for the places you hunt, a calendar of upcoming hunting trips, information about past hunting trips, that sort of thing.

make sure that your screen resolution is set at 1024 by 768 pixels!!

As the web designer, it's your job to design pages that will look right at ANY resolution

The industry-standard approach uses CSS

It can take a fair few hours to get your head around, but you will save yourself (a lot more!!!) time and frustration in the long run

See Cascading Style Sheets

Why would I want to do that?

See This page optimized for ...

[Of course, the irony is that I was using a 1024x768 display at the time. But that's besides the point.]

Unfortunately, using CSS doesn't guarantee resolution independence. As impressive as the designs at the CSS Zen Garden can be, many are just as rigid/brittle as the worst pre-CSS, Siegel-inspired "killer" web sites.

Don't I know it?!?!

It took me (ahem) quite a while to get my head around the idea of liquid layouts... yep... quite a while

But, for some reason - I guess trust in the experts, maybe masochism - I persevered and now, though by no means an expert, I can tweak a site layout in an hour or three - incl browser testing time - and have a whole new look and feel

Not only did my pre-css (table) layouts took (mumble-mumble + 1) days to change, they never came close to the level of cross-platform accessibility that CSS affords

Before anything else, kill those backgrounds. Before they kill my eyes. Second, if you want that text to be vertical, align it "center" not "left", it will look better. Third, I see no reason for using tables, it can be easily done with CSS.

But, I'm just a poor designer....

And get yourself real paid hosting too.
