About this site


In the past I build a couple of straightforward sites, just to get information on the world wide web for a limited number of people. These sites used to be fairly simple, being build using only HTML and frames. Currently, using frames for building websites is clearly outdated. Search engines don't like frames and it is improper use of HTML coding. For this reason, I decided to take the proper route this time around.

Taking the proper route meant using CSS for presentation elements and HTML for content elements. At times, I've truly regretted this approach, especially during the early morning hours wondering what on earth went wrong this time ............. but in the end the result is absolutely superior to using frames, especially behind the scenes. Using CSS, the look of a website can be changed by altering just one page (the stylesheet), whereas with frames you would have to change every single page. Another advantage is the uncluttered HTML mock-up.

The useful references page contains a couple of useful links. Unfortunately, these do not include links on Javascript - I have used Javascript for the menu only. I did find a few great sites on Javascript, but I need to spend more time in order to fully understand Javascript.
