Topic: My site/blog/...

[Matthias_]

Hello,

http://kiwi.wesleylancel.nl/matthias/Site/

Basically, I just want opinions about the site, the layout, the coding... whatever. If you feel like any changes should be made, reply please!

(I don't have a domain yet, I'm planning on buying one as soon as my site is 'done').

I'm sorry if it's not too good, I'm only 15 .

Thank you for reading,
Matthias

It's pretty okay.
And you made sure to prevent injection on the admin form

If you don't know what to show on the frontpage, maybe add in some widgets showing the latest content of blog, release or something similar.

Oh and for the HTML/CSS part...
Maybe use #ID's instead of .classes for your unique elements (like header, menu, maincolumn and footer).
It's not required but a good preparation for if/when you're going to work with JavaScript.

The DOCTYPE is unfinished. You should be more specific with what kind of document you're giving the visitor
Add in some meta tags as well to help your index on search sites.

When you want to figure out what kind of doctype your page should be, use this table:

The doctype is correct for the page he is using. That is all you need for the the doctype of an html 5 page.

Anyway, there are some validation errors within your page, but they can easily be fixed as they are simple mistakes. You could maybe jazz the header up a bit by creating a graphic in photoshop or paint.net.

You may need to put a title for the page like so...

Code: [Select]

<titleTitle of page</title>
Research up on typography will help you to make a better design as well. I can see you have different fonts selected but for only the body which  is basically the whole of the page. Mix the fonts up a little, using serifs for headings and sans-serifs for content.

Not bad for a first website, but just keep practicing.
