Hey, I made a new site design for my clan.
URL is http://www16.brinkster.com/clanstag/ - http://www16.brinkster.com/clanstag/
I coded a bunch of asp in there, however I need a bit of help with teh design. When I look at it, it seems alright but I think a few things can be changed to make it look better. Any suggestions?

Looks like a really nice start. I like the color scheme and the graphics...

couple suggestions:

You might want to set the default font to something like Arial or Verdana. In my browser it's showing up as Times New Roman, which always is an ugly font.
Make a nice bullet image for your nav menu on the left. The double colons look kinda ugly.
Make the submit button on the left easier to see that it's actually a button, and not just a graphic. Maybe put a rounded rectangle around the graphic to make it look more like a button.

looks better with the font fixed, but you might want to set the font-size a little smaller. the page now scrolls off to the right on 800x600 resolution.

yea ur right, but instead of changing the font size, Ill just change the tables from a pixel width to a percentage, thatll keep the tables within teh window.

Looks nice, I would just change the menu so the whole row is clickable and not just the text, simple to add.
You prob, currently have something like:


<tr onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor="#?????" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor="#?????">

Just add the following:


<tr onClick='self.location.href="yoururl.asp"' onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#?????'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#?????'">

or just do it on the cell I used the whole row as an example.

Ok, it keeps changing my code addition use the style to use the hand cursor, the forum does not like the code for that

i find it easier to create 2 classes and use the onmouseover to change the class of the TD
