I want to make a one page site that is about 3000px wide and ???px high. I know how to make a big table and fill the cells with images but I know that's not a good thing.
The reason I need this is that some of my work needs to exist on the same page, no light box / links etc, just one big page to scroll around. The other problem I guess would be load time of the page - is there an easy way to do any of this?

I'm no web designer, but I would have thought you could:
Design all in PShop. Flatten design (save a version for editing later). Save for web. Upload just one big image single image?
Probably completely wrong.

3000px is a lot of space...
- Lots of horizontal scrolling. Lots of css, jQuery?CyBrainX

Have you tried using the google map API,
someone posted an example of a site made with it not too long ago,
but I don't remember the link,

yes the PS way would work, however I need to be able to drop new images in occasionally.
A lot of space - yes, that's the idea. Kind of like looking at a map and seeing new things each time, or finding new links / films / images etc etc

Why not use the GoogleMaps interface, or something very like it?

So you just want a wide as fuck page with images one next to another? Yes it can be done... I can't even begin to explain how easy this is.
- please begin. Some will be interactive / film / clickable etcAtkinson
- just use a row of container divs for your pics/vids and give them all 'float:left' style.raf
- how how how? Div what? do you have the code for said div?Atkinson
- <div style="float:left"></div> is the simplest...raf
- If you design the whole thing I can cut it up into nice clean html5 for a very reasonable monetary gratification...raf
- You can also use c-collective, they have a nice template for what you describe http://bit.ly/dGK14P…raf

it has a lot of good links within the article.. as you stated this may be too much for what you are after, but perhaps it can shed some light on how to achieve it.. or go the photoshop 1 image way..either way 3K pix wide is a huge arena..good luck!!
