I cant get rounded curve edges in my site, Right now I want them for the top right and left of the header and the top right and left for the body.

I havent tried the body yet though, but the header is killing me

Do you have Photoshop or paint? Just make one. Look at how all the other websites do it, an arc. Which you then place in a row, (top right) above it.

yeah i have fireworks, which is awesome. I think that is made for specifically web developers it seems. I know "how" to do it. It is just not working right...

the code and art is in there, but i cant gt it exact...

why i post here i dont even know. I think all the questions i have asked in this forum I have figured out myself. I love web programming!

Just as a tip: on general design, use low contrast between elements. But for text, use high contrast against the background. At the moment you have rather low contrast between text and background on many areas, but high contrast between different background areas.

damasterjo, some feedback. When i click on the "Service" tab at the top of the page the drop down menu appears but when I atetmpt to click on any of the options the menu disappears. FYI, i'm using IE.

yeah thanks i know, i just changed the button that services is on and it is shorter than the old one. The drop down box is absolutely placed and on my web server I have not updated the changes, thank you though. And thanks too merri, I appreciate the advice. I am looking around at other sites to see how they do it, and honestly it all looks pretty simple coloring and stuff which makes it look great...

Ok, here's some advice. You mentioned you had... Fireworks?

A good way to start designing any site is to first create an image of it, using layers of course, in an image editing software. I use Photoshop because it has layers, I don't know about Fireworks. Create the entire look of any sample page, including the placeholder text (lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ), so that you know exactly what you want the page to look like. Including rounded corners too.

Then, you can slice it all up and the individual components will be saved as images for you.
