... Thanks for the feedback on that, The frames and alot of the stuff on the site are an issue, its just that the site was created by me n a friend, who had absolutely no prior experience on doing anything like that, so we just worked with whatever we could figure out. My aim was to make a bit of money and get the site upgraded by a professional, because honestly right now, i dont have the fund to hire a pro designe, and absolutely nobody i personally know does websites and things.
i didn't look at the source code for your page, but if i understood it correctly you have used regular frames to create a space in the middle which is the main content, the other frames being separate html documents for the top, bottom, left and right frames. or did you use the <iframe> code? that is far better and more customizable.
i am not a pro designer by far, but i do have some experience. i created the website for a company that my father worked for and later became director for, i have had many personal websites, one in relation to my making music. i think i upgraded that site three or four times with different designs. i know basic and some extensive html, and i know css. php and mysql is something i'll get to one day, but it won't be this year or the next.
hit me up on messengers, the info you should be in my profile. i'd really prefer MSN and am more available there, but if you only use AIM that is fine also. we'll talk about it. i can not make any promises as far as a deadline goes, but i can show you some of my work in chronological order and like i said, we can discuss it. it's been ages since i designed a website so i made a template for a website last week just for fun.
.. As for the blue lines, i have no clue how to get rid of that, its odd because only on certain browsers they show up, and on others they dont.
this is because there is no code anywhere on your page that forces a color onto the links probably. i don't know if you used <p> tags or how you tagged your text. am i right in assuming that the code for a link looks something like this?:
<p color="black"><a href="_link_" target="_frame_">Link Text</a></p>
Using CSS you can cut down several of the codes in the actual htm/html or php document, refer to a css file with one single line of code in the <head>, and thus enforce attributes to the different strings in your html document. you can, for example, specify that every link on your page should be black, underlined and bold. when visited, you can make it blue with no underline and in italics. when you hover your mouse over it you can make it appear in a different font, bolded, unbolded, in a different text size, and so forth. furthermore, you can create different classes of link customizations and refer to the classes in the <a href=""> string if you want the links in the top menu to appear in a different color and marking than the links on the main content page for example. many possibilities.
I really do appreciate the offer, but at the moment we're really looking to start a base in our city. Then growing from there. I love European hip hop culture, dudes are mad passionate out there, but again right now, i need to build a strong following in my city first. Alot more graff is to come, from toronto, we just havent had a chance to organize and upload everything.
I guess the logo is a matter of opinion, I tried to keep it simple and catchy, and so far I've had alot of great response from it. Everyone has their own taste though and I respect your Opinion. I plan on coming with more innovative designs, its just right now, I wanted to focus on keeping shit simple, and getting dudes in the city to recognize the logo and the name. Its a bit tough to go to school, hold down a job, and start up a business on ur own, but thats no excuse. As soon as I can get a bit of money flowing, I can probably quit my job and dedicate alote more time into this, along with summer break should buy me time as well.
Don't fool yourself, that is a very good excuse. i think you misunderstood me. i think the company logo looks great, i just don't see myself wearing it. why? because it doesn't really uh.. well I don't know, I can't explain it, but i never wear a shirt with "ADIDAS" or "FILA" on the front. so what i meant was, soon as you design a shirt with a universal motive like a caricature of your typical hiphop backpacker, a yin and yang (although i personally wouldn't buy that one, but just to give you an idea of what i mean) or something, but also including your company logo like maybe in a smaller format right below the neck on the back of the shirt. that's a shirt i could wear for sure. but now i also have a greater understanding of your business idea. i got a friend who started a similar business half a year ago, although he doesn't design all his shit, some is branded wear. but his shit is going well, so keep at it. it sounds simple, but running a business like that is hard work. some people do it full time.
