Design of Website

Hey, I'm not very artistic, but I am good at making websites.

Could one of our more artistic people please take this general website layout and make it look a bit "prettier"?

Please save the images individually (each individual background, each gradient, logo, etc.) and then make one big layout like I have here.

Thanks.

All things considered, this turned out incredibly mediocre haha.

The middle tab because I had to make a slight bit longer than the rest for symmetry

The logo, although I didn't realize how rushed the light and such looks

Put it together with some text, and viola! Never really done webpages before, but it seemed fun enough.

You can watch my progress on making the website if you want, though it might look strange (we all know computers don't display half-finished projects well).

How did you do that? (I'm on my phone right now and couldn't view the source code)

I'm making the site manually, so as to be efficient on the load time.

Ok, and I was able to see thhat the page you generated is just a bunch off images, not actual text and what-not. So not as impressive of a tool, but still something.

I just took the image from his post and cut it up.. http://www.wou.edu/~icanida09/car/ I made this using the same technique and it has text.. also auto expanding content area.. ( if your using Ie my gradient might look like shit ) I use ff.

I didn't make this a fully functional demo.. haha I was just showing you how to do it and I did it quickly.

Oh that's cool. I won't be needing it, but its still a cool toy nonetheless.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "page popping out" but I will probably make the navigation tabs highlight onMouseOver.
