Web Design Tools Reviews
How can I improve my website without getting too fancy?
I am a professional musician. I have created a website to futher market myself: www.kevin212.com I have a strong working knowledge of web technology. I am definitely NOT a talented programmer by any means. But I can read and write raw HTML and I understand the more serious components such as ASP, Active-X, etc.. Im actually pretty happy that I use only HTML on my website as it keeps the site fairly lean, and other than the “Photos” page, the pages load quickly.
My question is: If you take a moment to look at the page (www.kevin212.com), how could improve the website? I don’t want to go TOO nuts, but if there are things I can do with ASP or similar tools that go a step beyond HTML I would appreciate any suggestions. Even if the suggestions are only design / layout related. I have had a few people review the site for me, and the feedback has been good. I’m just looking to really “polish it off” before going live. Thanks for taking the time to read this LONG question! : – ) Kevin
Hey Kevin –
My suggestions:
- Don’t use frames
- Use CSS instead of tables
- I would restrict the width of the content area (again using CSS)
This would be helpful with regards to your menu options:

Also, CSS Zen Garden, A List Apart, Smashing Magazine, and a whole other whack of web sites out there can teach you good CSS tips.
Good luck!
