Hello there

I am looking for a designer to give me a hand finishing a project which I
have been working on for a couple of months. This is my problem:

I have got all the database/ecommerce aspects of the site working and the
only issues that remain are to make the site a little more attractive and
appealing. We are targeting IE4 and NS4 browsers for 100% compatibility.

I have used CSS for the site and also used a Header SSI and a Footer SSI on
every page. I have had MAJOR problems getting the site to look decent with
NS6. The Header needs to be a lot more attractive and the Footer needs to
be a lot more professional. I would like to do as much as possible through
one style sheet if possible.

I have put the files involved into a .ZIP file along with a couple of static
pages. If anyone wants to have a look and let me know what they can do with
the files to make them more professional then let me know - I'm very keen to
improve them!

The whole site is at http://www.ehattons.com and the Zip file is at
http://www.ehattons.com/sample_ehattons.zip

Thanks

Richard

PS I apologise for putting this post here but I could'nt find any more
appropriate forums/sites to put it. If anyone has any ideas where I can put
it to get some help then I would be glad to hear. Thanks again

Actuall, I think the header and footer look very good...
the problem with the design is that the body of the pages do not 'blend' in
with the header and footer, leaving them looking dicosnnected.
I would suggest, on each page, a thin gray border of maybe 5 pixels below
the navigation bar, running all the way down the left side of the page, and
blenging into the gray in the footer. this can easily be done in a css by
creating a class for a table that will hold the main body of the page:

.myBodyTable{
border-top-width: 5px;
border-top-color: gray;
border-left-width: 5px;
border-left-color: gray;
}

(You might even want to do the bottom border the same way)

Now, place the main body of the page in a table of that class:

<table width=100% class="myBodyTable">

for an example, see http://www.circonixx.com

Hope this helps,
Jim
