Finished designing my 1st website
« on: 22 September 2010, 13:30:14 »

The disability / singing /dancing group my other half is involved with approached me to design them a website.

Never having touched HTML before, I took it as a nice learning opportunity.

Been interesting and frustrating as hell at times, but have finally got it up and running.

http://buzz-ah.co.uk
seems to take some time before http://www.buzz-ah.co.uk becomes visible too, but am assured it may take up to 48 hours.

I quite happy with it for a 1st attempt, and have enjoyed doing it.  Just needs publishing to the group now so it can become known, and then hopefully start getting into search engine results etc.

Thanks, probably the main design point given some of the target audience.

Looks good on Firefox JB.

If you don't want too much spam you might like to look into using FormMail or similar to prevent your email address being scavenged by every merciless Tom, Dick and Harry.

You can also feed the search engines directly via certain sites.  Getting friendly existing sites to add links to yours speeds up the process as well.

Well done.

Looks good JB :y I always tend to overthink them when I design a site and, therefore, over complicate them but that is just about right. :y

Well done Jb 8-) - the image gallery is particularly interesting. 

To see the look of excitement and joy on the faces of those participating is heart-warming and indeed humbling.

I've no doubt that your design will help publicize the important work the group is doing.

Not only you, but all those in Buzz-AH should be proud of what has been achieved here.
