"New site, new project, need opinions"

So it has come to the day when I am going to attempt to move into the world of getting freelance web design work to join all of you.

But any freelance designer needs something to show off his work, correct? Which is why I am working on my own site to use.

(currently hosted on my old domain, the new domain/hosting is on its way)

So erm, what do you think?

I'm currently having a few CSS problems associated with Firefox (for once), open the site in IE....

See how the picture bar on the right stays above the line? Any ideas how to make it do the same thing in Firefox?

- Lose the #414141 in the 'center' area or keep the whole thing the same colour?
- Do you think it looks OK as it spans whole of the page?
- Tyla, you're good with colours, the grey in the body (#e1e1e1) - does it work well with the site or should I change it to something better?

Cheers for any comments/replies.

That's a nice site, but I'm not too keen on the grey box at the bottom under copyright notice though.

Sorry, very off topic but are there any good PHP / MySql (not PHP - that's fine, but like, both working together [MT Styley :P])?

Or is it books?

Hmmm fair enough.

I suppose it looks OK.

Just waiting for the hosting now...

The colour issue is based on opinion and "instinct". Does it look good to *you*?

Then imagine yourself as your targeted clients and think the same.

Any suggestions on the colour thing, Tyla?

Very swish, well done.

Excellent, Cheers Tyla that sorted it.

Look up clearing floats, this is the problem. It's actually a very common problem to do with having a float in a container div.

Have a look at:

Looks great though

Stick the line in its on div and set the div's position to relative and use that to place the bar relative to the image.
