I am using frontpage for design and i am using images deisgned in photoshop
for themes, upon creating or customizing a theme i have to go back and forth
between programs in order to get it sized right and then once the site is
posted if it is viewed on a 640 x 480 screen res then it kicks most of the
image off the page to where it is not viewable
 
Also, it is good to put something about the problem in the subject line, not
just HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just out of curiosity, who is still using a 640 x 480 screen resolution?
Most sites look pretty terrible that way.
 
unfortunately my video card doesn't even support 640 x 480.....maybe
consider making the pic for a res of 800 x 600.
 
If you want your pages to be viewed in a certain way at 640, then you have to design your pages for
640.

Yep you gotta jump back and forth. A helpful little measuring tool you may
wanna try for screen measurements is Screen Caliper - it's free but I don't
remember the URL...do a google.

Design for 750px wide not 640.

but the functionality should be there
Do you also try to accommodate NS1.0 users?

I know you didn't ask for opinions in this post but I thought I'd just
mention a few suggestions after viewing your site. I am a landscape image
photographer much like yourself and have to compliment you on the images
that you have on your site.

Now for the suggestions. I noticed that you are using very large images for
background images and those images also have your Banner text in them for
each of your pages. As you've noted the pages look OK only at one screen or
window size which is the size of the background image (1050 x 600 pixels).
Anything smaller and the text that is in the background image is not
centered. If you view your site on a large screen the background begins to
show a second copy to the right and to the bottom since backgrounds are
tiled. On my screen I am seeing your banner text two times, one at the top
and another about half way down the page. I also see the text beginning to
show at the right of my screen. Most background textures/images are only a
few pixels square (50 X 50 off the top of my head) and the larger pixel
backgrounds while they may measure 750 x 500 pixels they still blend
together as if they are the whole screen no matter what size the window is.

So my suggestion is to not use a background image that also has your banner
or heading text in it. If you want a graphic banner at the top of your pages
you can insert those with FrontPage on top of your background by using the
insert/picture tool in FrontPage.

Thanks

Am I supposed to see a photo on your home page? If so, something is wrong or
you haven't optimized it properly.
On the commercial.htm and other gallery pages you are asking me to scroll
back and forth , back and forth etc. I'll bet you made that gallery using
Photoshop and that approach just doesn't work. Read this:
http://www.eleanorstravels.com/galleryconsiderations.htm
Your links on the Home page go black when I mouse over them ... in other
words they are no longer readable.
You've assigned no width at all to the Komen page. Put the material into a
table cell no wider that 750.
Your About and services links don't!
On the contact page there are red links which can't be read at all! I must
also add that you have some great photographs!
See this link also:
http://www.eleanorstravels.com/PhotoGalleryPrograms/index.htm for
suggestions of other ways to present your slide shows ... rather that the PS
route.
Very few view with 640 x 480 so at least go for the suggested widths that
fit in 800 x 600.

What do you expect with at least a 750 px wide text image and the other 4 images all as a part to your theme page background image
needing ~ 1100 x 600 to display correctly
- none of those 5 images (including your "banner" text) should be part of your page background

PS
The space bar is not a design tool
- Use tables to layout your page

Yah I have a grid image too. But, the screen caliper is very handy...so is a
calculator :-)

| I use something like this:

the
