Just want to know what you all think of this. I kept most of the design within the stylesheet. I'm proud of the fact that it hasn't a single table in it.

I have had a look over your site and I like it. It looks clear and think the fact you managed to do all that with sytle sheets is very good. My website is the opposite... 100% tables!

Is there an advantage to using the style sheet in place of tables? I am assuming that it enables you to get a ncie clean looking site like this... but what about compatibility?

My Critique:

Good day. The first thing I obvisouly saw was your banner. Although I would normally say it's too large and too bolded, it is good, because until getting toy our page, your url is misleading (i thought it was a beer site, go figure), and it tells me it's a counter strike site. I'm not a fan of the colours you've used, but they do get the point across.

You're menu, however, has a few problems. It's hard for me to see where I can go, and where the enu actually is. You may want to make that more obvious for users.

A great thing, is the download on the left. I love that, since that helps many users who may be there just for downloads, to access it qwuickly and easily.

On the CSS, I don't think your goal shoud/'ve been to not use a single table. CSS has many advantages, however tables are very good for many different options. Perhaps try incorporating both HTML and CSS together.

So, overall, an alright site. Maybe take your email off the site (you'll get a lot of spam mail).

I also thought this was a website for beer...hee hee. Anyway, I like the overall layout of the site. Maybe the top banner could extend the whole way across the top of the page? Then you could put your links horizontally under that instead of vertically on the left of the page. I agree with Onassa that the downloads area is great to have and that you could incorparate HTML and CSS together. Other than that, I think its a good site. Keep up the good work.

em... CSS can't be used without mark-up (i.e. HTML) for it to refer to, so he has "incorporated html and css together"



tables are less compatible than a semantic (clean and sensible) html structure, basically if you use the right html elements to do the right things you can't go far wrong, it really is that simple. CSS is then used to change it's appearence.

e.g. if you want a list of things, use the html list elements:



This would be the semantic way to code your menu, simply replacing Yellow Monkey etc. with:

Hey, thanks for the crituques. I see some things that I never thought of till now. I didn't name the site nor did I design the banner. I just offered to freshen up their website as it was badly needed. Bad code everywhere. Ugly too.

Ya, meant incorporate major html aspects (Eg. tables) with css. The two work very well together, especially allowing you to have the table, tr, and td tags editted automatically by the style sheet

Well, I decided against using any design in the markup so I could do all the design in the stylesheet and as such, would be able to redesign the whole page just by swapping in a new stylesheet. Somewhat like what CSSZengarden showcases at their site. In fact, that was my inspiration.
