Norphy Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I had to share this. This is from our excuse of a website. Just check out the sheer quality of the HTML here. I'm just going through it now and trying to clean it up. It's an uphill struggle to say the least :|
webman Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Oooh... spaces in the URL - fancy! ... aaaahhhh, FrontPage appears to be the culprit
indiegirl Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Honestly Norphy, grumble grumble... at least you have *some* content to work with... ... unlike me with this one... (violins, please )
Joedetic Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Hah, that looks like what happens when HTML is created with MSWord Norphy
beeswax Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 @norphy. if you're using dreamweaver there's an extension called something like "clean up front page" which should go through the site like a dose of salts. I got a copy somewhere. @indiegirl. didn't see any it techie vacancies there. lol beeswax
webman Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I had to fight tooth and nail for over a year to get our content. And then I heard that the question was asked "why had it taken so long to get the new website launched". Grrrrr. Yet if a teacher requests their computer needs looking at - does it take us techies or NMs a year to look at it? Nope.
beeswax Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 @webman, but it was worth it. good looking site, easy to navigate. did you design it from scratch or use a cms, if you don't mind me asking? beeswax
pshuttle Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Oh dear it does not validate very well :S http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.manshead.beds.sch.uk
webman Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 @beeswax: I heavily modified a basic CSS column layout I found somewhere on the web and made it into a template for the Website Baker CMS (PHP + MySQL). It runs on IIS which is why it may appear slow. :?
Norphy Posted March 1, 2006 Author Posted March 1, 2006 Getting rid of all the nbsp tags shaved 20k from the size of the page by itself
alan-d Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I've still got our old web site backed up - happy to let you have it. May take a little work changing it to look how you want and the menu requires 'So-Think' add-on to DW but it may save you some work and possibly some brownie points. Maybe we should have a recyled web site section?
Norphy Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 Well, I've got it down to 126kb from more than 600kb. It doesn't look identical but its close enough and I've now had enough of it
