Old Style Web Site

[afroclocks]

I designed an old style web site, quick and easy using front page 3.
Take a look at afroclocks.com and tell me what is needed to make the web site compatable with dial up. People have told me it will not open.

It won't load for me either.

How long is it since you set the DNS? (it can take up to 48hrs to propagate).

Have you remembered to set the site as your main domain in your account panel, or as a parked domain in cPanel?

The Internet is the Internet, it's not like it can just be "Not Compatible" with dial-up, the only thing you would have to worry about is slow connection speeds, but some dial-up connections are faster than some cable connections these days.

After regaining vision, I have one thing to say. WAY to bright, the yellow is a terrible color, and will make somone close the page out of sheer agony to the eyes. When you said old style, you meant it, A lot could be done with the layout and still load at a resonable speed in dial up. The one major thing for me would be changing the background color.
