View Full Version here: : My new DIY website for Arcadia Observatory
I have finally launched my website for my DIY observatory - Arcadia Observatory.
I'm soliciting comments and observations as long as they are printable. I'm no web developer.
www.arcadiaobservatory.org
I'm still working on a few bugs and not quite complete pages.

Site is functional and easy to get the info so that's the main thing. It seems you've used a microsoft office product to generate the pages. I reckon it would make your life a lot simpler if you used a online templating system such as wix or others. Code will be lighter and easier to maintain. They also have a range of predefined designs and layouts to chose from.
Congratulations Andras. That looks like a great spot and a classic design for your observatory.

I love the Observatory Andras, I would love to make one like that. The sandstone walls gives it a lot of character and uniqueness.
Your website is easy to navigate and the only criticism I have it only takes up half a screens width. It would be a lot more pleasing to the eye if it stretched right across the screen. That is only a minor fault in my eyes so leave it as is, if its too difficult to change.
Cheers

Thanks Marc, you are right it's MS Publisher, the first time I used it. I'm told it's very inefficient with a lot of unnecessary code.

Thanks Bill, I'm working on it,

Take a look at Weebly.com for free website generation. It also has a paid version with more options but easy to use, plenty of nice templates.
I'm running two and updates take no time, more me thinking of what to say !!
Thanks Brent but I don't feel like starting from scratch, I'll check it out.
