Web Site Facelifts

A number of concerns should be dealt with when making web pages. One of the most critical questions to ask yourself, is what browser your future client would be using to view your product or service. And for that matter, what versions are they using?

Does your web page, look the same on your computer as it does on your clients?

Why is this important?


People using older versions of Netscape (v1, v2) MSIE (v2) don't except frames, have trouble with FrontPage and on top of that some people do not know how to change their resolution on their monitor and still have it at the old 640 X 480.

(Netscape, AOL and other browsers DO NOT SUPPORT a lot of these functions inside FrontPage)


Resolution can be most important and you will notice professional pages will always look the same on all computers no matter what the resolution, (this page looks the same but smaller on *ALL* browsers)  but a lot of web designers do not know about this problem.

If this is not a concern from your company then certain people viewing your web page, will not see it as you do. There may be missing links, pages scrolling off to the right and pages that do not display because of FrontPage animations.

If your company does not want to support these people then you have no worries! If you want to support as many people as possible then this should be of some concern. This page was done for DOTAD.COM

The problem page on the left was Dotad's first try. They had built it in Microsoft FrontPage. They had numerous problems. One problem, when they built it in front page they built the animations with FrontPage as well. By doing so, no Netscape users could view the animations as well as AOL users and Unix users. It crashed Netscape browsers and in others, it did not display correctly. Netscape still holds a small portion of the market share and so they asked the Frynge to fix it up. The second problem was the animations were all in FrontPage, so when you tried to click on a button, it didn't go anywhere. This was solved by using animated gifs and using JavaScript. And the third problem was that the page scrolled off to the right effectively hiding a portion of their web page from users that didn't know to scroll over to the right. They started building their page in 800x600 resolution and it was fixed easily by building all of the page in 640x480. It then looks a little smaller in other resolutions but does not change.

Notice how the version on the right, does not have a little scroll bar at the bottom. The graphics change by JavaScript (more supported then front page) and the animations are done in GIF graphics not FrontPage.

This next site was done for Deepsky2000. The opening page was not the most colorful but after the Frynge got a hold of it, there is quite a change. This site was left at 800x600 as it was originally programmed, by request from the client. This page also uses frames and Java. Using frames can be very detrimental to advertising your page, but the Frynge solved this problem for Deepsky as well. The opening page below shows exactly how we can revamp your page for your company.

We initially redesigned only the first page for Deepsky 2000, but they were so pleased that they asked the Frynge to complete the whole site REVAMP! Things that were fixed were, enhancing graphics, creating animated gif for flare, using JavaScript for rotating buttons and also of course making sure it works correctly in Netscape and MSIE browsers.

Ace - Advanced communications REVAMP. Smaller site but a total graphical revamp for a satellite dealer located here in Calgary Alberta Canada. Tables with bold colors were taken and put in pastel colors instead, which worked quite well. This site was also initially designed for only 800 x 600 so it scrolled off to the right in lower resolutions so this was fixed as well

Notice how the left version scrolls just a bit to the left. That did hide certain links and business information he had on the right. Also, all graphics were enhanced and even though it looks like there is more graphics on the right, the page was smaller in size by using graphic compression techniques for faster loading pages.
