Website Building; A group Effort

"Link colour is better. Now, change the headline color of "ADRIA M. MOSKOWITZ" To black (main stuff should have highest contrast), and the sub-headline to a dark ("#330033") shade of purple. Your vlinks should be "#6600cc". "

You like purple, don't you.

Your menu is two different fonts.

The idea is narrow down the number of colors you're using so everything sticks together. It's common to use a three color scheme.

Get rid of your head tags, they're used improperly, and put the headline in your table like this:

<tr>
<td colspan=2>
<b><font face="Arial" size="+2"><br> ADRIA M. MOSKOWITZ</font></b><br><br>
<b><font face="Arial" size ="+1" color =#660066>Juggler and Comedienne<br></a>

<br><br>
</td>
</tr>

Now, go do a bunch of work, then post here in a few days. I don't want to do your whole site for you. I just wanted to give you some tips and get you started. You have a lot of work and a lot of learning ahead of you.

Much work and many changes

Would you folks please go and check out what's happened so far to my website?

Most specifically, please let me know which color shot you like best for me to put on my home page (until my actual B&W Headshot gets selected). Oh, and please ignore the BIO, I haven't touched that yet.

Thanks so much for your input and opinions.

Woofnah- Here's a couple ideas I have for you, take them or leave them at your discretion... I'll start with the most important first.

1) Choose a theme, stay consistant to it in your colour scheme and text. Your webpage should embody the spirit of your performances. Are you a serious, theatre style performer? Use serious, theatre style words in your phraseology like "curtain" or "backstage" or "audience".

2) Thumbnail your pictures.

3) Put more than an email address on there for a contact.

There is much to be done, but decent start.

Keeing in mind that I'm blind ...

Thank you for your suggestions.

Color scheme and text are uniform except on Upcoming Performance page. I wanted that to stand out. If you think it should NOT stand out so much, I'll change it to black and this page will be uniform as well.

Pictures are thumbnailed ... but which do you think should go on the Home page for now? I'm not very objective about this so I don't know what's best. Opinions greatly appreciated. Also, I currently have the thumbnails 5x2, 1. I'm thinking it best to have 4x3, 1. What do you think about this? Which do you think would look better? I may alter it to the 4x3, 1 by the time you look at it.

Contact information for me (address & phone) are on juggling resumes. Contact for agent is on acting resume. I felt it safest to keep the genre separated logistically this way.

" Are you a serious, theatre style performer?"

As the website says: Juggler (mostly comedy juggling, busking, solo shows), Comedienne (stand up), and Actress (comedy and serious, TV and stage so far). I think the resumes break things down as well as things can be broken down that way.

woof,
If you're keeping your stock background and this style of design, your website will give you a little bit of help with $200 clients. This is what you need:
domain name, contact info.

That's pretty much it. all the other crap will be secondary. If you have a high paying client, don't send them to your site, they'll become disillusioned.

Here's what to do, upload a bigger copy ofTHIS PHOTO Eric and I will have our way with it and post it back on the web. Then, you can put that up for your front page. Your front page can have everything centered in order:
name,
jobtitle,
photo,
contact info,
other links (small)

You can get a free domain name or pay less than $30 for one. You need something easy to remember. jugglingfun.com is available. go to doteasy.com

Buy your domain, get free hosting, we'll fix up your photo for you and you'll be on your way.

Woofnah,
Something to keep in mind, when doing pictures, I think it's important that they represent you accurately, ie. They should show your show personality, get creative with your image. I think that will help a lot.

Will do ... next week ... hellweek @ dayjob

[Doctor Eric]

Actually, I vote for This One.

[worldwidese]

Impressive, but,,,,,

Though your dayjob skills are lengthy and varied, I can certainly see why a person might want to branch out into something different like acting or juggling.

As Jiminy Cricket said (or have I forgotten) "An actor's life for me!"

Eye contact communicates confidence and honesty. I like the other photo better, but the straight on one is better for this purpose.
