So I would like to know what you all think...
I wasn’t really sure the direction I wanted to take this site and who to target it too. If it shows that I didn’t really know what I was doing, please let me know. I am also not very good at coordinating color schemes, so If I messed that up, let me know!

Hehe, cute kid! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> The design seems clean enough, cleaner than most family-picture-based sites done on a Yahoo template. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> As for the color scheme, totally seems fine - I stay monochromatic when I'm not diggin' what I picked, so you're in the clear, I think. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

It looks like you started with a CMS-ready system, what system is it? was it easy? do you like it so far?

Thanks Chris!
The content manegent was all done by me. The overall purpose of this site was to learn how to do it. So I didnt want to use a pre assembled system, it may not be as perfect as an out of the box CMS system but I think it works great for my purposes.

Thanks again for the compliments!! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

forgot to add...
I cant take credit for everything... The asp upload was provided by www.aspupload.com/ and I used www.webthang.co.uk 's tutorial to create the forum.

Wow, honestly, I couldn't tell that it <i>wasn't</i> a boxed CMS! Big compliment there!

Very impressed, a job well done. I thought you'd used an 'out of the box' solution as well and simply added your content. It's clean and simple, which let's face it, is what you want really when you're busy surfin' <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

What's the next project going to be?...

Thank you so much!

About the next project, I dunno. I suppose I need to get started on another kid so that I can build them a site too! No not really, I dont know what the next project will be, maybe ASP.NET? Thinking about going around to poeple I know and see if they want a site built or something...
Do some free stuff so that I can have some published work before I charge the big bucks. LOL I make myself laugh! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
