Hey everyone. This is a new portfolio that I have made in XHTML/CSS. It would be 100% XHTML valid, but we all know XHTML doesn't like flash . But the CSS is 100% valid . I'm going to add a text navigation at the bottom for accessibility purposes as well as make the header a link, but I can't do that this minute.

Anyway, I would appreciate any and all comments and criticism.

I'd also like to note that this is my very first 100% XHTML CSS design and am proud of how it turned out. This is my venture back onto the internet and saw everyone doing this, so I decided I'd learn it.

I'm currently coding the back-end with a friend and doing the content.

If you would like to affiliate please wait until I am completely done with content.

Thanks!

Its nice, you might want to make the black line on the buttons a different colour when you hover over it though, it doesnt really suit it as black since the background is allready so dark.

I'm loving it, I don't really like the "warning tape" style image when the mouse is over a link in the navigation.

Other than that it's looking really good, glad that logo we were commenting on went to a great website.

I would suggest rethinking your post. Look at the URL. That's a swtich case include function. Look at the code. That's a div with overflow: auto. If I am to have 10 news entries, I dont want my website to stretch 5 miles, so I use a div.

Don't criticize code that's not even there... iFrames lol.

And yeah I might change the navigation, but it was so plain with just a white box. Also, the black line underneath makes it slightly more dynamic, doesn't look too good without it.

Thanks for the comments.

Content is great, header is great from my point of view

But the middle dosent seem to suit the other other great stuff I think you should work more on that

[Danny]

i meant to change the colour not remove it. It looks stupid being black on an almost black bg

[eXige]

I guess it depends on your monitor. A lot of old monitors view that BG as nearly black, when it's not. I might consider red, but I'll deal with that after I'm done with the backend.

Nima, do you care to explicate? I don't know what you mean by the "middle."

I like the layout. The art work around the main box area is cool as well. The site i'm working on at the moment has something very much like it. The Logo on top is probably my favorite part of the site.

If I have a complaint it would have to be the red header bars. Having said that though I'm not sure exactly how you can improve it. Perhaps something more along the lines of the thin lines you have under your menu links.

Also the white text on the gray background inside your content area is bit hard to read. I think on that gray, black text would be a bit more easy to read. That is debatably, however.

You have a good start and it's looking nice. I thin once you add the content with your recent work and other things that will fill the area it will add some color to it as well.

Looks good so far.

even if it's not, works like one
as people say here, it's unprofessional

The look is fine man.. There's nothing wrong with iframes either.

What applies to one site doesn't apply to all sites. An iframe or look there of as you put may not
work on a certian type of site but works perfectly well with others. He doesn't want his users to scroll
down 4 pages of news typic sto see something buried 4 pages deep on his page.

[d2Squared]

i dont like that one box the is right under the navigation on the left. maybe change the scrollbar colors.

but i love the layout and how the website works. Good Job, Keep it Up.

[eXige]

Yeah I keep forgetting about IE's scrollbar color capability... I only use firefox. I'll change that.

[Zippys]

There is something wrong with iFrames for alot of reasons. There is nothing with div scrollbars though. iFrames kill SEO and screenreaders.

[Animik]

I'd remove the iFrame, you can have one entry at a time if you don't want it to expand. The iFrame would be okay, but you can only style it in IE... which I don't like and don't use. The navigation is nice so are headings and the background is amazing.

[xis]

Am I the only one that doesn't see iframes on this site?
Where do you guys see iframs?

[Illinifan91]

looks cool but change the scroll bar color to match your site.

[PSgirl]

I don't see iframes either
But I don't like the scroll bar that appears in News&Updates, I'd remove it.
Otherwise it's a nice design

[Joey_Bose]

Your design looks good, however I agree with former posts on the Flash navigation. I think it would look sleeker if you took out the "warning tape" animation, and dealt simply with the black bar underneath.

The logo is very good. it adds an element to the header. I look forward to seeing what content you add to the site!
