New Silverlemon (Sarah Downton) website

Posted on by

I know I know… Man… setting up a new web site can be a pain.. I am struggling with CSS incompatibilities at the moment… (between IE6 and Firefox). You think you’ve cracked it, and then load it into IE and it all looks like a pile of rubbish…!
I must have read the CSS2 spec through at least twice from cover to cover, but there is always something that catches you out.
Hopefully I will have the new site up as soon as we get some final pictures for it as well… (that’s the olther thing holding up the process), trying to get pictures that are good enough, and can also be scaled down to show the detail even at thumbnail size is a challenge.
Currently there are two URL’s for this site www.silverlemon.co.uk and www.sarahdownton.co.uk

We will be going with the www.sarahdownton.co.uk URL now, so the new site will also reflect this.

Sarah’s new website design

We have spent the best part of two days (well many hours at least) OK… it felt like several days, taking a whole load of new pictures for www.silverlemon.co.uk.
I have also started designing the new layout that will be fully CSS and HTML strict compliant, I have tried to – as much as possible anyway – separate the content from the design. (although this is not completely possible – see article on alistapart.com).

Although far from perfect it should allow me to change the layout and overall design without having to faff about with the raw HTML !! ;-)

Well that’s the theory anyway… as for the proof, we’ll just have to wait and see… with any luck the new design should be up in the next few days.
