Here's the site I designed from my church.

www.mfcnonline.org

We use the big and little blocks on the main page to feature different pages, other sites or events going on. The big main block is usually just for pictures with Bible verses on them. Or anything that's just happened like a special speaker or Vacation Bible School video, etc. The smaller blocks underneath do mainly the same thing but for less important items, ones that are older/passed or any of our other pages.

Right now the overall church's centennial is coming up so we're featuring it until it's over in October.

I use Keynote to design the blocks and then just drag them over into the iWeb blocks.

If you have any comments let me know I'd love to hear them.

Here's mine!

I'll be getting my own domain soon.

Anyone know how to have the Blog Archive link in the menu bar at the top without manually putting it in using a text box?

Let me know what u think of the design etc. I think it's a bit messy.

Here's mine. I just made it in iWeb, because my site is all about Mac and art (video, audio, pics). That's also why there's no ads. It's a simple design that aims to highlight the artist and art over site design. Helpful ideas and comments appreciated. http://www.theartofmac.com
 
Here's My 3 Sites...

I currently have 3 sites up right now. Two are for my friends ATV business and Mud Bog hobby. The other is for his mother's salon. I host all the sites on Go Daddy (Linux servers) and everything works great. My FTP client is Transmit 3.6.

FYI: Safari renders these sites perfectly and Explorer mangles the heck out of 'em.

Well I am not surprised IE mangles things perhaps we will convince the world to use something else but let's not count on it.
I really like the banner on that site if you don't mind my asking what did you use to make it.
Thanks for sharing.
 
Out of practice, and due to quickness, I created my new freelance design website on iWeb.
Trying to keep it simple, and only emphasizing what needed to be emphasized, by all means check it out if you have the time ...

Wow, that's really nice!

May I ask how on earth your site loads so quick? I know the layout I wish to use for mine, and can sacrifice the background picture/whatever but want the same layout and images I have used, however it loads so painfully slow.
Is there anything that you could recommend?

Hey,

Thanks Delude, glad you like it. It's always good to hear people like a layout when you've spent quite a lot of your time perfecting.
As for it loading quickly, RFlyGD currently uses a dynamic background image which is told to stretch to the given width of the user's browser window.

Entertaining this method, instead of using a physical background image, the site only has to load a small image, and then tile it to fill the background.
Much faster than piecing together (and slicing up) your own background in Photoshop or something similar, using separate smaller images.

The main graphical layout is just a huge image which has been sliced up in Photoshop, re-pieced together in iWeb, and centered using margins.

I've had a look at your site, and you'll be glad it know there wasn't an overly long wait for the content to load.

Another tip I can give you and everyone else thinking about web design is to save sliced images 'For Web'.
I cant begin to tell you the amount of people I've seen who use the highest setting a format like .Jpeg offers, to save their sliced images in.

This just results in the images taking forever to load. It's a common mistake, but one which can easily be resolved.

After saying this, you may not be using sliced imagery, or Photoshop, and it may be to do entirely with the code,
which I'm no expert at myself just yet.

Anyway, I hope this helps you a little bit. :cool:
