my band's template.

http://ilovemymumband.ej.am

yeah, don't ask about the name, we were just fuckin around ^^
the problem is, i cant get it to work with tables, so i had to resort to using one big image and then using that thing in macromedia where you select a region of the page and turn it into a hyperlink. its turned out okay, but it'll be a mega pain in the arse to update later.
because of this, i'd like to know how to get a loading page... like when you navigate to the index, a little loading animation will pop up, and when the image is done, it'll load up the site.
i hope you know what i'm talking about. ^^

PS this is from about 5 ish months ago, and i thought i'd try my hand at it again.
PPS what i'm mainly looking for is a better way to lay out the site, rather than using the one-big-image-with-selected-regions-for-hyperlinks thing.

the layout is PIMP
I can't help you though, sorry. I'm a noob when it comes to making websites in PS/Macromedia.

Centre layout and have a feather around edges. It goes into white to quickly... Just really annoys me... *Shivers*

cool colors if you were on lsd. not really in my opinion very good choice of coloring. is this a rainbow kind of band ? fix the sides.

thanks for the critique, but i'm pretty happy with the design at the moment.

should i slice it? are there any other ways to lay it out?

Slice it, make the text links.

I did a large ass tut on it, its around somewhere unless it got broke which it did, think i fixed it though

Equally, however, once it is sliced it's a bastard to edit too...

If the font's that important, use a flash overlay of a bgimage or something like that. Otherwise, use a different font.
