I built my first website for a bass fishing club that I belong to. Could you check it out and tell me what you think? This is the first site I have ever built.

Please let me know what you think and please be honest! Thoughts, suggestions, comments, letters to the editor are all welcome. Thanks Asked by Talbot 59 months ago Similar questions: built website bass fishing club belong check Sports & Recreation > Fishing.

Good to see another Carolinian around here! Nice site, here are some comments. Talbot: On the whole, I think the site is nicely done.It does what you need it to do.

The functionality is all there (except, apparently, for the member list, which didn't load for me). It works on the Mac, which is a plus (it actually looks better in Firefox Mac than in IE7, to me). Overall, it's clean, and if it's not flashy, it makes up for it by being functional.

Some more specific comments: I don't like frames. I think you'd be better off to go with a CSS-based layout and avoid the frames. They're kludgy, and don't always work right.

But that may just be a personal nit. I'd go with an all-white background, rather than the silver-grey. Your by-laws, forums and other pages will blend in more seamlessly if you do that.

Consider enlarging your logos up top. It'll give you more punch, and the text will be more readable. I like the resources and weather conditions being right out front.

Helpful. You might consider redoing your front section as a blog, since it looks like you're planning frequent updates. Once you get into sub-pages in the main frame, it's very difficult to get back to the original index page.

This is frustrating. On the front page, the Falls Lake image loads very slowly. This suggests to me that it's a large image that is being scaled down by the browser.

This is bad practice, and it makes your page loads a lot slower. Reduce all your images to their display size before setting up the page, and see about adding some padding between the right edge of the image and the left edge of the text. They're butted up, and it's hard to read.

Some of your pages pop a new window, while some open in the central frame. This inconsistency in behavior is a little confusing at times.As a matter of practice, never create links by hyperlinking the text "click here. " For example, on your front page, I would write: If you think you would be a good addition to the Strike Eagle Bass Anglers or you have any questions, please to send us an email.

Good luck and tight lines! Using PHPBB with the default skin is a little weak (I'm teasing! ).

Check out phpbbstyles for easy-to-apply skins that'll give you more of a custom look. Some of the centering on your sponsor page is skewed. Not sure what's up with that.

Like I said, these are just nits. Overall, you've done a nice job with a functional, easy-to-use club page. Sources: Me!

You do some things I wouldn't recommend You use frames. There's no good reason for doing that and lots of reasons not to, foremost among them (to me) being that it'd be hard for me to reference a specific page on your site, either in a bookmark or sharing it with someone. You've got a 1.5MB image file on the front page!

That's bigger than your entire website probably needs to be. Optimise it by resizing the file itself down to the dimensions you plan to display it at instead of just setting the width/height in the html. Same goes for the Military Team logo.

And for the images on your Picture page too. You've got other people's content loading within your frame, specifically almost all of the links under the Weather Conditions heading. That's just not cool.

If you want to link to someone else's site have the decency to let it load outside your frames. The By-Laws page causes a huge horizontal scroll on my screen because of the links up top. To your credit though, you did try to use divs and css for formatting instead of tables.

Good job on that! .

Go on so, I will take a look and see, but you are going to need to tell us what the site is! I work in this area (web dev, not fishing!) and would be glad to say my opinion.

You didn't post web address I love to bass fish and would check out your site if I knew what it was! .

" "FISHING! I'm still cold! Talk fishing to me!

Maybe the sun will come out! " "Why don't we ever have any fishing questions here?" "If you could only have 1 type of bait for the rest of your life for largemouth bass fishing, what would it be and why? " "Fishing in Cabo" "What is your best fishing story?

" "Dangerous Fishing?" "What kind of rod is best for Lake Fishing? Ocean Fishing? " "What bass fishing club do you belong to?

Do you love to fish tournaments? What are your winning lures? " "FISHING!

Dang it! Started snowing again! Maybe some fishing talk will warm me up a little!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
