No 1 Rule on a Web Site: Correct spelling and Grammar.
Always get a professional Proof Reader, (your Mum/Dad?), to check the site before Publishing it....Wink...!
Folks will ignore the site content, and only spot the errors....Wink...trust me...!

You will definitely need someone on the Forum here, who is an expert in "Web Site Design" to do the job for you....
...anyone out there looking for a job... Cool...?

Many designers use HTML instruction codes in the design of their Sites, but that requires an expert in the use of Hyper-Text Mark-up Language.... Smiley...!

...right-click on this, or any other page, and select; "View Page Source" to view the Code.

Paul... Cool...!

Ok, here is my point of view. First of all, get rid of the green/blue squares. If you want to use colour in your website use it on the background so the whole screen is filled with it and not just some parts. It looks messy. Second, the colours are to bright. Use soft colours, it's easier to look at and to read text. Third, don't use hyperlinks in the text on your website. If you want to send people to another page or site use a button. Dreamweaver has some very nice Flash buttons you can use. Fourth, what Fozzer said, clean your text from spelling mistakes.

Dreamweaver isn't the easiest website building tool to use. Especially when you are new to website design. However if you start playing around with it you will find out that it comes with some pretty cool features. Just practise or buy a guide on how to use it. I believe there is one in the For Dummies series.

I said it wasn't the easiest to use. It is absolutely the best. I've been using it for about a year now and I am still learning new things about how to use it. It contains so many options and possibilities (in combination with Fireworks, Coldfusion and whatever more came with it) that you need to be a professional webdesigner to fully understand it's potential. But you can make a simple website with it without to many problems (see my own, www link at the bottom of my post). Just try things out, save you work alot of times and press F12 to view your work in your browser.

Good luck,

Crash Wink

The buttons are standard Flashbuttons that come with Dreamweaver. There are something like 20 different type of buttons you can use. Look under Media ---> Flashbuttons.

Have you had a peek at your own Service Provider's Web page...Wink...?
ie; "Build your own Web Site"

My Service Provider, (Freeserve), provides me with an easy-to-use, free program, for constructing my own Web site, (and Publishing it if I require), including a large amount of free Web space.... Wink...!

Maybe a bit limited in style, but they are very easy to use by the general public.

Paul...(I'm not linking you to my Web Site, so there!)....LOL.... Grin...!

I's already looking a lot better. I could only find two spelling mistakes; fligh---->fly and Ammsterdam ---> Amsterdam.

Keep practising and it'll work out fine.

Ok thanks i have corrected the spelling mistakes

if you look at flights and roster i want to move those tables but its in code format is there a way to put it in a layer or something.
i got the code of the site i use for keeping track of my pilots vafinancials.com.
im asking as i want the whole site to have the same layout.

i did try copying the code into the layer on design view but you could see the code and no table.

Kurt,

Not bad but you should really learn how to spell
British
.

I've corrected some of the more obvious spelling errors & typos for you
Quote:
Welcome to
British
International Airways, We are the leading airline in the United Kingdom. We offer
in-flight
entertainment on all of our flights. We mostly operate
short-haul
flights but as the airline begins to make profits we can order some more
wonderful
B737s. This will expand the fleet and in the future make money for this fast-growing airline. We
operate
our flights from our hub in the centre of the United Kingdom Birmingham International Airport from here
fly
to the closest parts of Europe including France and Germany. We
fly
to
Amsterdam
for all you party people and soon we will be
flying
to the southern end of Europe to Greece and Cyprus for the ones that like to
sunbathe
and relax. So if you are
interested
in this airline book a flight or head over to the
careers
office and get a Job as either a flight attendant or become one of our well-trained pilots and work your way through the ranks. Become a part of
British
International Airways the future of
flying
.
Quote:
What we use.

Our Airline uses VAFS to keep track of our pilots. VAFS is a new
database
website that offers Va's to keep track of their pilots by using this
database
. Also this offers the
airline
to keep track of the financial side of running an airline. The software used will keep track of the pilots during
their
flight so if you
were
to crash I
would know and the airline will have to pay the bill.

Dreamweaver has a spell checker which you should find very useful. Copied from Dreamweaver Help:
To check and correct spelling:

Select Text > Check Spelling or press Shift+F7.
When Dreamweaver encounters an unrecognized word the Check Spelling dialog box appears.

Select the appropriate option based on how you want the discrepancy handled.
For more information, see Setting spelling options.
