cheers guys :)

anyways back when I was 9 I made a pokemon website on homestead.com (when it was free), then at 11 I taught myself HTML and started to learn how to design websites from scratch. At 12 me and friend from canada opened up a pokemon site called PokeX which got quite big and populer and I joined different design forums.
Then at 13 I started to doing work for friends for a little money and got better and better, learning new things, subscribed to Computer Arts eyc.
At 16 I went to college to do a BTEC National Diploma in Multimedia (2 years), just to get some sort of qualification in that area, which I passed and ended up doing 2 other short courses, one in Game Design and one in 3D animation, which I again passed :)

So thats it really, all self taught.

There are a couple of courses worth looking into, especially multimedia, that will help a lot.

Hey Evo,

I too am a web developer by trade! wowee small worls eh!

your design there looks spot on matey, how are you going to do the final coding. HTML, CSS or is it flash based?

I am currently getting my head around pure css, designing without any tables at all is a right head fuck when you have been using table layouts for the last 7 years!

Still, I will get there in the end!

Keep up the good work :)

I also started out web-design using HTML that I learned as a child, but for the last couple of years I've been using all CSS. It's not too hard to figure out but much more dynamic. :)

CSS > HTML

You can't use CSS only, otherwise you have no content or a page to apply it too.

Anyways, I didn't win.

Bad luck Evo :( I thought your design was actually the best of the bunch.

Regarding CSS, I aggree you have to make the DOC declaration and have some basic HTML ie, <head></head><body></body>

But you can pretty much do away with all those nasty <table> <font> <strong> and <br> tags through the usage of well defined beautiful style sheets.

There are many benefits of this approach over HTML especially the ease with which you can completely alter the look and feel of a site with just a few changes to the style sheet.

A good site to take a peek at is

http://www.renegadezen.com

This is a perfect example of style sheet usage, with the bare essentials of HTML.

Cheers :)

Thanks man.
I know about getting rid of <table><tr><td><font><u><b><i> etc etc, but I was under the impression kamakazi meant completely eliminating the whole xhtml document.
