    Perhaps it is a firefox thing. Still something to look into.

    EDIT: Just noticed, he didn't remove the table framework from the previous design, those are causing the issues.

    Though I have to admit, I must reiterate Mast's suggestion of switching to Wordpress for this application.

    My first two thoughts.

    1. If any asshat guy ever calls you fat again, I swear to God I will break his white cane and shoot his dog.

    Well, I won't really shoot the dog. But you know what I mean.

    2. If you need any help with web-based advertising, please let me know. I have a lot of experience with web advertising and can give you some advice, particularly with Google AdWords.

    LOL at breaking the cane!

    And we are going to be using Ad words. Starting with an initial investment of $100 and see how it works....any advice?

    have you actually seen physical proof of this guys past websites? cos if you want me to be COMPLETELY honest, he codes like a 12 year old. the stuff he is doing is what i was doing as a kid who was building her first ever final fantasy website. it is the absolute most fucking basic html, and he does not seem to know....

    scrap that. just checked the source code. he's using sitebuilder, which i'm going to assume means he has absolutely no knowledge of html at all. the html is a fucking mess. <td> tags all over the place that don't seem to make any sense at all.

    i'm afraid there's not really much else i can say that's gonna be of help to him, sorry cam. i'm speaking a totally different language

    I was thinking along the same lines as Darcy. I used to develop web tools (back-end code, databases, etc) and had to build web code, as well as work through other's code. And that was my impression from the site.

    Most experienced website developers will have references, and or "test" sites they can send you as an example of their work. Does he have any of those?

    For example: http://www.leveltendesign.com/portfolio_web_design.php

    Hi there CK,

    I'm going to avoid the 'I like or not' comments. Since I have been building my sites, I have found that when it comes to design all you get are differing opinions...

    However, if you want to get noticed online for free traffic, you need to get your META tags sorted out. Title, Description, a H1 and keywords. At the moment, you seem to have none of that. If that is the case, then Google won't know what ads to display as well and will struggle to know what the page is about when it comes to listings.

    Re the keywords, try here: http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ that is the free tool and is nowhere near as good as the real one you pay for - but it is a start. Be specific not general. If you use 'advice' as a keyword, you'll be competing with many other sites that are way bigger and you'll be in several markets.

    Re AdWords, get Perry Marshall's book on ebay for about £15 i think. The same info in his ebooks would be $99 or similar. After reading that, there will be very little else you need to know.

    If you want to get started with incoming links, I outsource directory submissions - 200 at a time - to a guy in Pakistan. The directories he uses will not be the adult ones, but that should be ok I guess. If you want me to get him on the case for you, drop me a line.

    In fact, if you have any questions about the marketing - rather than the design - drop me a line. I'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

    Good luck,

    Stuart

    If you want my honest opinion, you should ditch him as your web designer. His pages look like crap and I just don't think he knows what he's talking about.

    You have enough support here from the SW community to get your website done the way you deserve. Plus you'll be able to brag that the SW community is even more kickass than before.

    Either way, you and your services deserve better.

    Cam who is writing the content on that beauty site? Just skimmed (skin care) but some of the info. is like not correct. You deserve better. I agree with the others.

    I know nothing of sites. I had one for phone sex years ago, and my IP did it, it looked beautiful and did well, but i had to keep paying him for EVERYTHING.

    The Google ads are a pain in the rear. But i read about them being there for you.

    I like the idea and i see your are making progress.... I wont go much into the looks of the site since - hell- im an accountant by training. But I do get confused when I first go in ..

    IOW - i mite have the meat of the site right there on the opening page. Ie the questions and your responses in chronological order - along with a random sexy pic of yourself.

    Elsewhere u can have the ABOUT link where u say Hey Im hot, I am a model and u can ask me anything.

    Also u could have a links to filter your advice by question type - ie relationships, modeling blah blah.

    Another neat feature may be to allow us losers - er I mean users to post our comments on your advice. That way u get more content for free - like a forum. So after each answer there would be a link to POST YOUR COMMENTS , VIEW USER COMMENTS. U could even have people sign in or if not allow them to use a SN on the fly much like StripClubList does..... ( of course doing that means policing what is being said )


    I would line the Adsense Stuff along the right side of the page....

    I do like the simplicity of the organization - maybe everything is not in the right place but Im a big believer in KISS ...

    I think u have a good idea and wish you the best ...!!!


    PS I hadnt read everyones opinions and if these have been mentioned - well Im sorry but i am lazy

    Well I have a contract withthe guy..I can leave anytime, but I feel bad. Yeah..I'm seeing now how much he sucks as a designer(I found him on craigslist...oh well) so I think I should at least give it a cpl months and see where it goes. THEN if it isnt working I can tell him goodbye. He owns the domain..I own the content. So I'll be able to do something better..hopefully with you guys since you are all so amazingly knowledgeable...I should have checked here first...dumb me.

    I wouldn't wait and see. This is just dead time the website could be doing well as opposed to seeing what he "might" be able to do. You've shown us his other work and it sucks. So why would he do any better on yours. He doesn't appear to know any code and in reality probably never will.

    See if you can work out a deal to buy the domain from him, and get someone else to do it. ASAP.

    You shouldn't feel bad because he sucks as a designer. If he wants to keep clients then he should do good quality work, end of story.

    If he won't sell you the domain, consider something else. This is after all a "Dear Abby:" style advice from a hot model. What about "DearHotModel.com", or "AskCameronKeys.com", "DearCameronKeys.com"... just as off the top of my head suggestions in the event that he's a dick and won't sell the domain name to you. You have plenty of options here.

    I dont really care about the domain...if I were to cut and run I'd pick something better.(I"m very partial to Uncommon Sense which someone on here suggested)

    I just feel bad that I agreed to it and then bailed immediately. He may suck..but hes trying and I feel I should at least give him a chance. Then I can say "this isnt working" as opposed to "everyone I showed it to thinks you suck".

    In the end that is up to you, but you know there's not future with him. So why bother wasting that time. You'll both get over it.

    I do like the UncommonSense.com thing too.

    OK but if three songs pass and he still hasn't asked for a dance, it's time to move on!

    I haven't read anyone else's comments but maybe what I have to say will be new:

    1. Can you use a lighter shade of blue on the highlighted links on the main page? It kind of blends into the black too much (at least on my screen). So it's hard to read.

    2. Modeling pics: I'd take out the one on the top right hand corner. While the others look like professional modeling gigs, that one in particular looks like a friend took it.

    3. Banner: Use it (including the various links from your main page) on all pages for easy navigation. That way if I'm on your pictures page, I can still click on "The First Date" without having to go back "Home." Or make your banner include all those links on it too. If you're using Frontpage, use "shared links" in your design.

    4. About Me: Add a picture of yourself! :o)

    5. Eventually, Put all the question in the top half of the page and create bookmarks so that when you click on the question, the curser scrolls down to that specific question.

    6. When you do #6, is there a way you can put the ads at the bottom of the page? Maybe if you set up the borders on your site you can figure out a way to do that?

    All that aside, it looks really good!!!!

    It's in the script where you highlight "modeling pics here" and "about me section." It's a bright blue but I had to look at the letters twice because the color is so close to the black.

    But I mostly recommend putting all the links up on every page for easy navigation.
