Question Achieving website menu balance?

hi,

I'm trying my hand at redoing the company website and was wondering what the best way of creating a visually balanced horizontal menu is?

I have 7 options to include with symbols next to them. I did think that if I divided up my 776 px working area into 7 equal parts I could fit them in, but sadly one option is 13 letters long while another is only 4!

So what do you recommend to make it look balanced/equally spaced without leaving huge gaps or over-running the options into each other?

Use a scaleable solution that resizes into the browser frame - It both solves your problem and makes the site accessible.

send it to him ^^^

Have you tried putting them all left aligned with small gaps ? ie.

(logo) home (logo) moo (logo) flibble etc

Some sites get away with it

This all falls into the same category as "what colour should I paint my room". Unless we can see it, and whats around it, its a bit hard to help

Hope that helps
