So I designed a website.......

Cool deal. I'm a part-time web designer myself, so I would certainly be interested in seeing the design. What language did you use? Standard HTML? PHP? Use lots of CSS? I currently code stricly in xHTML and CSS. Check out Mustangs Of Burlington for an example of some of my work.

Very nice site! I do full time flash sites for my job and I do ASP and PHP. I really like XHTML and CSS. I made my brothers shop site http://www.bigwoodracing.com I did some flash and java on the site looks good.

Found a local mechanic shop that was in need of newly designed website, and I was able to barter services for a gear install. I got the web page all done, so next week the Stang goes for new gears!!!!!!!! Putting in brand new 3.73's, rebuild kit, and a speed-cal. That's what I'm talking about!!!!

once he's done, he'll upload the web page files, and then I'll put a link up so you all can see it.

If I'm not working, I'll be at the shop to take pics, and I'll post those up as well. I've been dying to get my gears in!! woot!

well I'm more of a flash programmer myself. I really dont do to much of html and ASP stuff anymore. I've been doing action script 2.0 for a few years now and I have to learn 3.0 for CS3. Most of the html stuff I did in the past has been web 2.0 stuff. I used my ASP stuff to program SQL servers. OH and when I program HTML I use notepad, but @ work I DO have to W3C EVERYTHING and Dreamweaver does all that for me.

Thanks Bullitt453.
Yeah, I'm really a designer, but do some coding.
I usually work for programmers/companies as a designer.
I got the Doctype thing, thanks.

Now with tables, can you show me an example of how you would code up, lets say.
A table with two rows and two cells.
Second row with one col, colspan=2?
Or maybe a good reference?

I'm been building sites since 96', so keeping up is an ever present battle.
I've just been doing tables for 12 years
I know work from home, 4yrs now. The downfall is working in a vacuum.
I don't have the old advantage of bouncing ideas off of 10 people.

Thanks!

Thanks!!
I'll look this over.
I may some questions, I would be glad to have a few discussions with you

Working from home is nice.
I get to stay home with my son, which is why I ended up doing this.
Plus, my wife is a school teacher, summers rock!

But as you see there is some draw backs, like sharing info.

well its nowhere near as good as what you have...holy cow! that's awesome stuff. as soon as the site goes live, I'll put up the link.

mine is just standard html, with a jpeg as an image map, a bunch of links, an easy menu, and a cool little sound clip to mesh with the theme of the business/website.

it's definitely nothing major, but the shop owner thought it was a fair trade for a gear install, and so do I for the time spent getting something he'd like, and making it all work etc. doesn't take much nowadays for a website to add up in charges...especially with labor for web design.

as for the stuff you do, yeah, I'm nowhere near that good.
