Re: Asp.net V Html
Hi Amxfan,
That's great I hadn't thought of trying to buy outdated versions of software. I just presumed that all outdated versions were dumped in the bin when new versions were released, as you suggest I'll contact Adobe and also do a search on google.
I do agree that one of the problems with my site is the quality of the images. The problem isn't with the originals as they are all high resolution and high quality. For example for one image that I use on the site the original is 2362 x 1772 pixels and 1.26 megabytes in size ( some of the other originals are much larger than that ). The problem is when I reduce the originals down to 300 x 250 pixels and 30k or so in size, they just become so grainy. Am I trying to reduce the size of the image too much, or is it just the software that I am using?
With regards to fixed or variable resolution for the site. I think that I am going to go with yours and davebarns way of thinking and have a fixed resolution. I'm going to go for 1024 x 768, and have all the body text in a window of 800 pxs wide, and site navigation in a left hand column 224 pxs wide, and also at the bottom of the page within the 800 pxs wide window.
With regards to online forms. A few years ago I did have a guestbook on the site, but it received so much spam that I eventually had to delete it from the site. I was receiving up to 100 spam messages a day added to the guestbook. The majority of these messages were longer than the 'fold' of the page and full of links to every undesirable website on the net! It was a CGI script available from my CP, and eventually even the server gave up on it and removed it from their available scripts! After that experience I am a bit loath to add any more online forms to the site. At the moment I handle the booking form issue by having a button on the site that downloads a MS Word document. For 90% of my clients that works fine. It's for the 10% that don't have the software or know how to open or return the completed form to me that I need to have an online booking form. If anybody out there has any experience on this issue any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Steve
