During my experience of Flash and Html I have out some major points that make a look “proffesional made”. One thing is with the fonts, try to just use the same font on every header, just different sizes. Another thing is the use of kerning. I belive 1 point kerning of the menyes make them look good !!! Using the grid and rulers is also one thing that helps U a loot for the design. As with colors, pick like 3 - 4 ones and use just them !!! Amother Good thing is to sketch the hole page down on a paper before starting withn it. The same for the animated windows that maybe appears on the page !!! Anybody else having similar tips to make a page look proff, If so Im interested in them !! ---

After looking at your works at your page I believe you need some green to make your artistic parts come out. No offense but, your portfoolio and your page wasn´t very impressive. A typicall guy that know lots of code, but has no feeling for design !!!. But at least you tried !!! HE ---

Ack… don’t call me beta-x… I so can’t wait to release the new version where that isn’t even mentioned. As for my work… everyone is entitled to their opinion 🙂 I get lots of e-mails from people complimenting me on my work and telling me I should definitely be going to school for that stuff. Not just from “average” people but from people who have been in the biz for a while. Im not great, but I don’t suck either IMO. Maybe its because I don’t use drugs for my creativity 😉 It all comes from my mental issues (got a few of those BTW) ---

The best advice I can give someone on keeping a site professional looking is to keep the design clean. Trying to put too much can on a page be a fast downfall. Keep it simple. Also, if you are really wanting something professional, use spell check. I noticed you seem to have a slight problem with that. You shouldn’t come out being critical of others when you are looking for advice… Good Luck with your professional site. 😏 ---

Reminds me of the age old saying… “K.I.S.S” (Keep It Simple Stupid). I have been told that many times and it is some of the best advice for professionality. When building a professional site you must make sure your site is simple enough to be navigated by even new web viewers. After all, not everyone is computer literate, and having a site that confuses them can be a downfall. Good point to make jillymo. ---

yeah i agree…keeping a site simple and uncluttered make it professional… and the occasional creamy bong hit isn’t bad…just don’t let it interfere with the work you do…:flower: ---
