Quick diagnosis and context tied to the thread: ’s main problems are a left-hand navigation that doesn’t behave well when zooming or on narrow viewports, content (“tickets”) slipping under the menu, and presentation mixed with PHP logic in the same files. suggested a fixed page width (stabilizes layout on desktop) while asked for a test site; and correctly noted that a full rebuild is usually outside the scope of free forum help. The most sustainable fix is a small, structured refactor that makes the layout predictable and responsive.

A compact, practical layout pattern uses semantic markup (aside + main) with flexbox so the sidebar keeps a consistent width while content stays fluid. Also add a viewport meta tag in the head. Example (minimal):

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">

<div id="site">
  <aside id="sidebar">...nav...</aside>
  <main id="content">...tickets...</main>
</div>
html,body{margin:0;padding:0;box-sizing:border-box;}
#site{display:flex;min-height:100vh;}
#sidebar{flex:0 0 240px;position:sticky;top:0;overflow:auto;}
#content{flex:1;min-width:0;padding:16px;overflow:auto;}
@media (max-width:800px){#site{flex-direction:column;}#sidebar{width:100%;position:relative;}}

A short cleanup plan to apply in small steps:

  • Extract styles to an external CSS file and remove inline styling.
  • Split templates: header.php, sidebar.php, content templates, footer.php; keep business logic in separate includes.
  • Replace float-based layout with flexbox/grid; use min-width:0 on flex children to prevent overflow that causes content to drop under the menu.
  • If a fixed sidebar is required, use position:fixed plus a matching margin-left on the main area or use sticky with z-index to control stacking.
  • Test in browser devtools across breakpoints and keep changes under version control.

Notes and cautions: public posting of login/passwords is unsafe — remove those credentials. Expect focused guidance here for free, but not full site rebuilds; consider learning the small refactor steps above or using a lightweight framework only after the markup is cleaned.

So i want to look more natural and styled and when zooming not to disorient the elements, the shared tickets not to go under the menuand to be good oriented.. i know too much i want but i really have no knowledge in html... also if you know how to work with some framework ex. bootstrap feel free to use it :)

Member Avatar for lps

Based on my experience, you would probably set the body with a fixed width like 1000px with margin:auto; where it will fixed the content width to 1000px and centered. With this, the layout will not be distorded due to your float:left condition. If you wish to be more flexible, then you should probably research the responsive layout route.

Add this code to your styles.css `body{width:1300px;margin:auto;}
See if the result is what you want.

Stefan, everybody here wants to help you with issues you have while developing or designing your site and will be happy if they can guide you in the right direction, but I don't think you will find someone here that will just layout/develop your website for nothing or take the deal you offer.

I'm sure lots of us here started by reading, learning, experimenting and asking at fora at points where we get stuck to get better, but this takes time. You know the saying: "learn to walk, before you run".

Since you don't have money to invest either you could try fiverr

These forums are mainly used for learning purposes. They're not really for business deals. As GM states, we are all here ready to help you to help yourself. That's for free, but what we won't do is do all the work for you.

IMO, only a fool would take on a job as described. I don't think any professional in any field would take on a job if they knew the client had no money, but just promised to pay them sometime in the future. No contract. No guarantees. No comebacks. If you get somebody to do it, remember, you pay peanuts and you get monkeys. In your case, you're not even paying peanuts, so Dog knows what flavour of imbecile you'd end up attracting.

To my view, if you want to work seriously, you must turn to ‘competent sites’ or other sources, which help you to resolve your problem! And in general, there are many other ways of ‘better creation of your site’! I can advise you ‘to use the free website builders’ <link snipped> and I’m sure that you will be happy with your choice!) Here are many ‘variants’ as ‘to force your site to work on your side’, as ‘profit by it’ and also, you easy will achieve your goal enjoying your work!) Make your dreams come true!) I wish you good luck! =)

I suggest using a CMS (Content Management System) such as Joomla, Drupal or Wordpress.
