"and probably shouldn't use other websites on the same topic as examples."
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by that...
Oh, of course not! I wouldn't do that. (no sarcasm, serious. I really don't like template web sites, even if they came off someone else's original idea!)

What do ya'll think of this site? Also, comments on prices? (Site still in it's early stages, few links work.)

Not bad, not bad, although design sites are usually flashier. One thing I've noticed is that they tend to have a lot of white space.
Perhaps you could use white instead of that light blue colour? (Except perhaps the links down the side.) Methinks it would look a bit cleaner. I'd also suggest making the side links bold, so they stand out a bit better. You really shouldn't need to make huge long images across the top and bottom of the page just to get curves, though. And why on earth are you using a plain-colour image instead of a coloured background inside that content cell of the table? | |
What should I use, if not the images on the top and bottom?
What type of background were you thinking for the content? I beleive I'm going to start all over, using either a top and left blue menu bar and the rest content (not a compact page), or I may start over using a different type of compact page. I really want to get this page to work first, though I've been told it looks horrible... I don't know, we'll see! | |
You should be able to set up your layout table (or whatever you're using) so that you have a corner image at the left and another corner image at the right, with the bit in the middle just being plain colour.
For the content bit: I meant, scrap the image and use a plain colour instead, with the bgcolor attribute. As in: <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> (which would make the background of the table cell white). | |
I had to use the full top image because I was using text up in the top, and I didn't feel like making a little outer edge.
I prefer to use small filled squares as background images because I've seen different computers read the hex codes differently, and I often like to use non standard colors in my web pages. | |

Read the hex codes differently...? I've never ever heard of that problem, unless you mean the ugly dithering that 256-colour displays often use; in which case an image won't help at all. Nobody uses background images as a substitute for background colours. I've never seen anyone else do it, ever, and I've seen quite a few websites (some well designed, some terribly designed). | |
You don't need to and probably shouldn't use other websites on the same topic as examples.
