Priority 1: Lose the motherfucking frames.

Bizarrely,
frames are still valid in both transitional and strict XHTML.

They still suck balls though.

I'm not even too sure what frames are
All I know is it's a bit shit at the moment, and looks like it was designed by a retarded twelve year old as part of a class project.

Basically, bin it and start again.
Good CSS design makes it easier for search engines to catalogue your page for a start.

My advice would be, don't overdo it. If it's not going to carry content, you're basically after a basic contact and service page. The dated content management idea's not bad. It will keep some peoploe checking back. Perhaps and online event diary is a good idea. Also, searchable maps? That's alot of work/expensive though. Although the AA/RAC/Multimap mioght sponsor it.

Event Diary's in the works
Map thing may not be a bad idea... could just provide lots of links to Multimap/Streetmap for relevant things though.

Simple's the way forward, as I'm probably going to be lumbered with keeping the thing going once it's up and running. My ability to post pictures of kittens and links to goatse is probably not going to come in overly handy on this one...

If you're doing it on the cheap,
find a site you like, steal the code, change the content.
( supermoore: HUNG, Thu 9 Sep 2004, 13:03, archived)

There's a plan...
*steals code for www.hardcorearseslutsgetitinallholes.com*
*starts changing content*
*changes mind and leaves content as it is*

Just a small tiny thing
Antialiasing on the graphics.

Try to make sure the graphics are antialiased correctly. If you're using photoshop, make sure you're editing in RGB mode, which will automatically antialias everything anyway (unless you specifically ask it not to).

Makes stuff look nice and smooth.

Oh, and for transparent graphics, make sure that the matting colour is matched up to the background you'll be using, otherwise you may get fringing around the image.

If you're not using PS, I have no idea how to do it in anything else :-)

edit: i'm with the others on frames though. No likey.
edit2: oops, typos :-)

Ta!
No idea who set up the current thing - graphics certainly look a bit shitty though.
