Web Designer No Longer Around.

rivenagares · 03-30-2011, 04:03 AM

Hello, this is my first post here.

I'm a photographer and my web designer recently had to stop working on my site due to grad school and i'm left trying to put things together. For the most part i think i have it running well, but I am trying to change his fixed format to a liquid format so its useable on various resolutions (and i will eventually get to mobile devices).

But i am running into severe issues because of the way he layered his CSS.

Can anyone give me any tips? I love the way it looks and wouldn't want to change a thing... save its adaptability to various resolutions.

css file: http://fracturedminds.net/css/main.css

any advice would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Looks like an incredible amount of wasteful css! I'd say this was auto-generated by a program like frontpage or dreamweaver (just guessing here I've not used them in about ten years lol)

Personally I would start fresh and just use the old one as reference (and use the images too).

Good luck though!

I use DW but i hand code all my stuff, that does look like auto generated css so its going to be relatively impossible to change the tags without redesigning the wheel. I would just bite the bullet and do what leroy said.
