Web Design

[Pique]

Hello!

I have just begun to study IT now and we have had to create our own student website. I was just wondering what you think about it in terms of design and how it is general. Have never worked with html or css before it is completely new to me, but begin to recover. Everything on the page is in Norwegian as you, but it is not the content that is important. Had been very nice with some tips for improvements etc..

Looks nice! But folks should not use IE8 or lower: http://prntscr.com/3rc04.

Thanks! Yeah, I know, I think I'll make a new stylesheet for IE. Maybe one for Webkit too.

Webkit handles html5 no dramas.
A bit of js will get ie on board.
No need for separate css.
Build properly, not hacks.
Conditionals suck. The only conditional you should use is to target ie6. To get them to upgrade.
The rest will play fine, if u code properly.

I like the layout. The only suggestion I would make is instead of using text and image as one with your tab navigation, but overlay text in html over the tab. And check this out!

Well said.

To add to this, look at htmlshiv. Best solution I have found for getting IE to follow suit with HTML5.
