Well in ICT at school we're making a website for a Cinema, and i've like started over and over again as i just cant get the first impression right, now i have a background and a box for the content to go in.

What do you think about the background and the strip in the middle..

click here i had to use an old domain LOL

i wanna know if the backgrouns and content bit is ok before i start my 5th attempt

It's fine. Keep it nice and clean, block color. Check out twitter.com. Their sort of styling how they have that arrow, but they keep it fully the same color... kinda like that.

So far all I have is a light grey box on a darker grey background, its not loading anything else.

[Hypertext]

Ah. I just got the background. Ever heard of compressing? That took at least a minute... lol.

Center the background image, and have it feather off into the bg color, otherwise you run into problems with people with big monitors. We don't all have 19inchers.

[Fehm]

We don't all have 19inchers.

But we all wish we did

And yh i all i get is a grey box and darker grey background

[AlexOC]

what do you mean Hypertext?

and i will compress the background and pre-load it

Looks allright. The middle grey box could be a black box with like the opacity of 10-20%?

If you stretch the window, the background stays on the left, and the content box comes to the middle, looking pretty stupid. Just make the bg image fade out on either end, and then center it.

It doesn't matter. 1) It doesn't make any difference; 2) He's already reached an opacity he's happy with.

Meti..

i have just done that then, dosent look right, u cant see the box very much, and i want quite a light box for the content

Hypertext screenie?, its ok mine

EDIT: Hypertext i get it now, i didnt read your first post prperly, i might just make the background image wider so then smaller screens just see less of it yet big screens see all of it, reaching from end to end

That took about 5 minutes to load the background image.
