Post by liviu »

Recently i started learning PHP (excuse my english, i don't spek it very offen) because i did not know how you can make interactive sites. I took The PHP Manual and i started to try diferent scripts. Well, finaly, i make this site: http://www.punctweb.3x.ro.
I whant to know your opinion about it and whant to know what to do to improve it.
Thank you.

It is hard to tell what you have used PHP for, there are no obvious signs of it being used apart from the .php page extensions. The forum is phpBB so that does not count. As far as the site design goes it could be a lot better, at the moment it looks really old.

The forum is OpenBB, and of course it does not count because is not my work (i just translate it).
I used PHP on "contact", "tarife" and "admin" sections. Will you give a second chance ?
I need some sugestions to lose the old image of my site. What should i use ? Flash ?

Cool. Well everything seems to be working so that is good. I haven't had any nasty errors pop out like you see on some other PHP sites.. which again is good.

You don't really need to use flash to make your site look good.. it's more down to the layout and/or colours that you use.

Modern sites tend to use a few basic colours, and shades of these colours, and also tend to keep the pages sort of 'minimal' to make it easier on the eyes and keep page load times down.

Basically if it doesn't need to be on a page why put it in there :)

You could always have a look at my PHP based site at http://genik.urbanchaos.net to get an idea of what I am talking about.

pft. I live in the southern u.s. and you speak it better than quite a few of the people that grew up here.
