Hey, never posted before but forum looks cool.

http://www.seektheeout.com/antarctica/design.htm

I'm designing this site for a class of mine(study abroad) and its in the very early stages right now. Basically just a front page, to get an idea of the overall design and layout.

This site is mostly going to be a photo gallery, but will also have 'articles' on specific places, as well as a daily journal page(not a blog). The main point however is going to be to showcase the pictures and the experience. This will probably be viewed by college students and parents.

The site is HTML 4.01 and CSS compliant. I might make it XHTML, but i've been told that doing that when it isn't necessary is a bad idea?

Anyway, i know there isn't any content up right now, i'm really just looking for comments on the design/colors/etc. Thanks!!

no.. actually, XHTML transitional is very compatitable with the old HTML standards.. since very little is changed.. it's only more structured and with less exceptions..

Hey,

All looks very nice. Goes a bit wrong when i resize the window though - Navigation button text seems to want to jump around. I'm using ie6.0 at 1024x768.

Just wanted to say that I am a big fan of the design of the navigation. However, I would recommend using an unordered list rather than a series of anchor tags.

As for changing it to XHTML, I think it would be a good idea. Though there isn't too much of a difference between XHTML and HTML, XHTML seems to make code a little cleaner. Plus, XHTML seems to be the future.
