I get a scroll too on my laptop and netbook (anything over 980 is too much for it). But it seems to scroll just to accommodate some 'empty space'. There's a 920px wide div around the word Copyrights that starts 447px from the left and goes beyond the footer - so 1407 total width.

It's a very nice looking site. Quite elegant.

So I recently used CoffeeCup VSD to create a new website for my work. It's an import/export company with a sister company in Interior Design. I made a website for the sister company, but it's color scheme is based on 2 colors. More work to come on that one.. ( http://www.pamperedwindowsbydiane.com/ )

My current work in progress is on http://www.eianddesigngroup.com/ I love the CoffeeCup VSD. I self learned HTML when I was 15, and later took a 2 year networking course in HS. Honestly, I'd have to say that even as an advanced user -- CoffeeCup VSD is a BLAST to work with! I love the fact that you can adjust layers of objects, use Hexidecimal color codes as well as a color grid, and the overall way that CoffeeCup works. Creating new pages with EXACT same objects, page mapping, and ease of creating new content.

There could be a few more options when it comes to text (ie Shadow, glow, bevel, etc), and maybe a few more types of shadow/bevel/glow options in general. (heading over to the correct forums to add that as a suggestion) But overall, I'd rate it a 5/5.

Hiya Pampered,

LOVE your window treatments, just gorgeous, but to be honest... I would lose the real dark forboding color scheme as cool as it looks for something else, it really doesn't fit your products for that. Just my opinion of course.

I'd love to see your images on both sites using something like http://visuallightbox.com/ to really enhance your images to zoom them out instead of opening in a new page (as we wait for CC to hopefully add this feature to their Photogallery which I also highly recommend for a great extra nice look to galleries on sites, it's just missing that one awesome feature of zooming is all). Just a thought there that you might want to take a look at. It's very easy to use and can really add great functionality to photo galleries.

Thanks Paintbrush:) and all others for their comments. I removed the div's in the footer that were around the h3-tags, horizontal scroll issue is now definately resolved.

Looks good. Looks like Joomla or Drupal to me. That's not a bad thing, just something that struck me.

You all have some very cool sites!
I am looking for some input, feedback, constructive criticism, whatever. This thing is obviously going to be growing and evolving with me....but gimme what you've got for now. Please? Thanks!

Interesting line of work,, I think I need a massage after hearing all the political in-fighting.

I was looking for the Home link,, never mind, I found it over on the right side of the menu..
There is no rule of thumb on this really... I am just so used to having the home link on the left and less important links over to the right.. or also known as LTR for English and RTL for other languages.

Where does that idealism come from?
As the screen size shrinks,, down to 800x600 resolution, the right side stuff is compromised, destroyed, shrunk, hidden,, -first- and the stuff on the left side is safe.

Now this also brings the discussion about resolutions..
The normal resolution these daze -i am told- is around 1200 to 1600 wide.. so no issue for those folks.
I run 5 different resolutions on 5 different computers for testing web pages. they range from 800x600 to 1600 wide screen.

The blog that says 'professional',, throws an error page.. The cache directory on the server seems to have the wrong permissions.

Great start, looks good.. Over time it will grow into the best massage therapy site in your city.. People will ask you to make them a web site... That's what happened to me.

snip,, snip,,

I recommend creating a custom error page for the design group site.
Direct the errors to 'Your Custom Page' with a .htaccess file in the root.

ErrorDocument 400 http://www.beallgroup.net/error.html
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.beallgroup.net/error.html
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.beallgroup.net/error.html
ErrorDocument 410 http://www.beallgroup.net/error.html
ErrorDocument 500 http://www.beallgroup.net/error.html
ErrorDocument 503 http://www.beallgroup.net/error.html

You can make a custom page for each kind of error, but at the very least, make one custom page.

Why thank you, Mr. Beall. I have not even once squished it in the browser frame to see what would happen. It is going to have to stay that way for a while, though.

I had a lot of help from CoffeeCup forum users, and I can't tell you what a life saver this has been.
I would love to have the time to become a fabulous web developer like all of you, but I have to massage my massage business first and foremost.

Thanks everyone for all of your support and encouragement.
Also, note that anytime someone types in "papillon therapeutic massage" google returns my posts in this forum. That is a good thing for CC, I think.

Only purpose of website is the sell my home, FSBO (for sale by owner) and my time is very limited to engage the SEO process. One company I employed was only marginally useful and I can afford only very very little assistance and have
little time available to learn and execute the process. The New Times did, however, feature my home in "Great Homes and Destinations", and my potential buyer's profiles is highly defined. My home is far, far from the ordinary although it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
