If you hadn't known I am making a flash game called "three mile fort". It is a cute game that I want to make a website for. The reason I want to promote it is not to make money, but so I can put on my resume, "hey look, i made a game AND i can also promote it." Then i'll have a better chance of getting hired. So i guess in the end i do want to make money, but we all have to make ends meet, don't we. Anyways, I have just started the website and I want to make sure that it works on everyone's computer. If you have the time, look at it and tell me if there is anything wrong with it. Post a screen shot if you have to.
You can visit the website here ----->http://time.cia.edu/~ibakula/Ivan/index.html.
It's pretty bare, but hopefully that will change soon.

looks pretty good, do you plan on using a CMS?

I'd make sure that that flash banner dosn't make noise or flash annoyingly or something like that

Yeah, it is a bit bare.

Looks alright so far in IE7 :oops:

and whatever the hell version of Firefox I have.

Looks good with

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2

Theme is great I think ... more different colors would make it weird - what is NOT good

or makes it look unprofessional
One little error:

Code: Select all: <title>Untitled Document</title>

... that one should really be replaced

Yeah I know its a bit bare. I did that in the span of about 4 hours? I'll put some content in it pretty soon.

4 hours is a bit long, I did the storm assault site in about 1 or 2. Mabie the flash banner took more time?

I got a sweet domain name and the beta version of the game is up now.

The game turned out fantastic. Better than I planned considering this is the first flash game I made. I eventually want to actually get some mini bosses in there and power ups. I also need to get some better music.

The website still has a couple of kinks to work out. I am having problems with the scrollbar when the window is made smaller or you're computer is at a low resolution. I am using framesets which are not the best thing to use. I need to dive deeper into css.

well you could do something like:

Code: Select all: <body style="margin: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden;"> <div style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px;"> <a href="/TMF_main/index.html">  <img src="TMF_main/welcome.png" width="1300" height="700" border="0" /> </a> </div></body>

also there are scrollbars on TMF_main/index.html iframes. By default the scrollbars will always show. I suggest using overflow: auto so it will only show scrollbars if the page is too big.
