Published Website Keeps Changing

Hello everyone -

Im a self taught beginner, I love coming here and being able to get my questions answered! I built my first dreamweaver website and published it three months ago. (this is the first website I've actually published). However, I am running into a problem....it keeps changing on me even though I have not updated or touched the files since.

KZ Designs

Everything looked great at first - but now it looks like one of the tabs cant find the CCS page (all the images are jumbled, none of the layout is right). Some computers see some images, while others dont. Then - it can suddenly change, it can work again, or something else can go wrong.

Any idea on what is going on? I am not experienced at hosting websites so I may be missing something. I did not have any security/SSL certficiates. I bought this and hope to have it set up asap. Go daddy is the host.

Any tips or links to articles/tutorials would be amazing. Thank you!

No.  It's caused by code errors.  For example, you have no opeing <body> tag, too many stray <h1, h2> nand <h3> tags and no clsoing </body> or </html>.   This page cannot load properly.

You could create a responsive layout with Bootstrap.  Being Mobile friendly is a big deal these days.  Failure is not an option.   Welcome!  |  Search  |  Google Developers

In this example, the layout breaks from 4 columns to 3 and then to 2 and finally to 1 on small devices.

Tablet

Phone

This is SO SO helpful. Ive been meaning to create it to be mobile/tablet friendly, but have been kind of daunted by the idea. This really helps me out!

My gosh, that page is really huge.  Even on my desktop, it's grosly oversized.   I fear people on smaller devices (phones & tablets) will have a very awkward experience.

Apart from the liberal usage of absolute positioning for your primary layout (pure poison), you have critical code errors in your HTML and no content on your home page.  It's all just images.  When I hide images in my browser, guess what I see?  A blank page. That's what Google sees too.  A blank page that contains no  keyword rich text inside HTML headings and paragraph tags.   Ouch!

Work on the these 3 main things.

  • Your site is not responsive to fit all devices. 
  • Owing to all the critical code errors, it cannot load properly.
  • And it's not optimized for search engines.

What page causes trouble?

So - only so far these two have been inconsistent:

Advertisments - everything is jumbled for me, even though it was working before on the same computer, same internet browser. It looks like it cant read the CSS file.

Marketing  - missing pictures for one section. Same as before, it was working fine on the same computer and browser.

Is it possible im having trouble because of chrome updates? But it is reassuring that I am only having trouble with the same pages. Thank you for trying to help me!!
