Default need advice for http://www.ehteam.org

We are a group of students in Canada who have banded together to form a company - a team - for assisting persons with computer problems, wants, and needs. Primarily we are doing this to augment our student loans, but can only receive $200 extra per month. Any funds additional to this will be put back into our company for furture use. In addition, being under .org, we will be assisting non-profit groups to refurbish computers to those in need, as in seniors - who we will also offer to instruct on basic computer use - in most cases - no charge. Our site is in it's infancy. One area I am having problems with is: I have a 17" monitor and I don't know exactly how to do the site so it will appear on a 15" monitor - eg: shrinkage. I am using dreamweaver and am just learning that myself - but getting better thanks to suggestions and tips from folks on this site on other projects. Our Web Design person (an instructor at the school) is leaving this site to us students with his words of wisdom - "help files, research, trial and many error,and ask others", hence my post. Any comments, suggestions, tips, will be most welcomed. http://www.ehteam.org is the site.

well the monitor size isn't what matters but rather its resolution, you would make it fit the screen by using percentages instead of fixed widths when describing how wide the table should be.

I would recommend moving away from dreamweaver and learning to code html on your own, with notepad, once you get the hang of it designing sites is a relitively simple process, visit HTMLGoodies.com to get started and go through their primers.

I think you will be glad you did in the long run.

Although the table width is set at 785 (should ideally be set at 780 max), your header's width is 1000, which naturally extends the width of your site.. cut some of it off.. it should be the EXACT size of your table width.

In order to see what viewers using 800X600 resolution see, you should change your computer settings to 800X600 while you are doing the site... this will let you know what everyone (well, almost everyone) will see.

hope this helps... and good luck!
