Well my previous site www.b-carz.co.uk has been sold and is in control by new owners now.

Reason I sold was to move onto my newest project which I have just completed the site,

www.framemycar.net

I won't explain what it is about, you will be able to find that out from the site (thats the idea anyway!)

I love it,

The layout is very smooth and is pleasing to the eyes.

There are very few spelling and grammer mistakes :)

The general idea of the site is great!

Although, your image at the bottom is repeating and ****ing with the layout :( Try making it like a images that will grow with text, for example,


<table width="80%" height="5" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td height="21"> </td>
  </tr>
</table>
		  </span></p>
            <p align="center"><a href="http://www.rogem.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=12" target="_blank" class="Body">View News Archive</a></p></td>
          <td background="images/index_13_right.png"> </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td height="19" background="images/index_14_left.png"> </td>
          <td background="images/index_14_mid.png"> </td>
          <td background="images/index_14_right.png"> </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
        <br>
        <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
          <tr>
            <td width="1%" class="side"><img src="images/index_15_left.png" alt="left" width="10" height="38"></td>
            <td width="98%" height="35%" background="images/index_15_mid.png" class="side"><p class="Title">Software builds / Server info</p></td>
            <td width="1%" background="Templates/Templates/Drag to a file to choose it." class="side"><img src="images/index_15_right.png" alt="left" width="10" height="38"></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td height="46%" background="images/index_13_left.png"> </td>
            <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><p class="Body">cPanel 10.8.1-STABLE_31 (PRO 1.0 (RC2))<br />
              Memory Information: 	ECC Registered 1024 MB RAM    </p>
              <p align="center" class="Body"><img src="images/icons.gif" alt="Icons" width="498" height="83" /></p>
              <p align="left"> </p></td>
            <td background="images/index_13_right.png"> </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td height="19" background="images/index_14_left.png"> </td>
            <td background="images/index_14_mid.png"> </td>
            <td background="images/index_14_right.png"> </td>
          </tr>
        </table>



and some of the images are a little hard to read.

Great work though :)

Are we looking at the same site Rogem?

Everything seems fine, no image repeating, no spelling errors.

However I only get the one page with the opening in April.

Interesting Rogem, I assume you are using Firefox? As I have not had a chance to cross browser test it yet.

First time I have had this error reported to me by anyone, so hope its firefox and some simple coding will fix the problem

Does it happen on all pages? Or just the index page?

Just on the index, i think there is just to much text.

http://www.framemycar.net/about.htm so it does not do it on this page? which has the same amount of text on it?

How very very odd?

Sorry. problem isn't solved yet :(

The issue is with the background image used for the central table
"images/bigbg.gif"

on FF and Opera the content is taking more vertical room than in IE, so the background is repeating itself.

you could try adding the image with a CSS style instead, which would allow you set the background for No Repeat, which would partially solve the problem (though content would still overflow the bottom of the table.

And best of luck with your new business venture

Coming to JAE this year?

Yep, will be there

When is it? Roughly June time if I remember?
Maybe a bit later? totally forgotten, need to book my calendar up, got shed loads alread



Will solve this little problem today, will simply extend the background image in height and make so IE users have a small gap at the bottom, and Opera and FF will sit flush.


Cheers for the help guys, what do you think of the idea, prices, and general colours layout etc?

It's a great idea, though you should look at finding better pictures of cars, your current ones are not amazing.

Prices are alright, though you should make a more custom sytem to pay with (Like a shopping cart).

All the pictures there are the higher quality ones shot with my old equipment, the new stuff won't be up untill show season kicks in starting in 1 weeks time.


I think the payment system is fine tbh, its a lot easier and faster for me to put new events up than a shopping cart would be. Plus paypal is a big trusted name, so hopefully will put peoples minds at ease, as a lot of car modifiers use ebay to aquire parts they will have a paypal account and be familiar with the way it works.


See I thought of everything lol

towards the end of July, 21st to 23rd if I'm not mistaken.
I'll be heading there on the Friday (21st) and will be leaving on the Monday.
Hopefully we can get a beer or two this time

I like the idea and the prices seem fair. I would suggest you could look into different framing options and offer photo enhancement/touch up to make it look more than just a photo.

The site design is nice.
