Hello there,

Just finished updating my web site, (if there is such a thing). I would like
honest opinions please. Criteria being quick loading and pleasing to the eye.

Any other comments most welcomed,

kind regards, Martin.

Very nice look; clean design. Awesome background image on the front
page - did you do that yourself?

Some minor 'under-the-hood' points:

I saw some tables where you're using <th> elements inside the table,
presumably to bold and center the text. Use CSS instead; <th> means
'table header', and has semantic meaning for adaptive devices (screen
readers and the like). Likewise headline (<h1>, <h2>, ...) elements
inside list items (<li> ).

You're using <blockquote> to, I assume, indent text. Again, the tag
has a semantic meaning - the text inside this block is a quote. You
should use CSS to indent appropriate container tags (<p> ).

Externalize as much of your CSS as possible - it looks so much neater.

Also the contact page has faults in the bottom left corner. (In Opera)

Thanks for your input Joe. The image on the home page was done by my friend. (I
can only dream of being that artistic). I did the easy bit of optimsiing the
image in fireworks ready for the web.

Thanks again for taking the time to look.

Kind regards, Martin.

Hi Martin

A couple of issues in Firefox.

On the home page whatever nav link I click your site opens a new window,
which is odd. I can only guess it is because you are using absolute
paths and Firefox thinks it is going to a different site, which is how I
have my prefs to work.

Also, on the contact page you have this in your code below the tech
supprt info box.

<p><span class="contactsidebox"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span class="style35">
<br />
</span></p>

This shows up as two narrow boxes with the bg colour of the
contactsidebox class, looks odd, again in Firefox.

I see you are only down the road from me, I'm on the Wirral.

Thanks for looking Jojo. I'll address the CSS and firefox issues asap.
It's a small world! At least today the weather has warmed up a little where we
live! (although the kids wished we had snow!)

Kind regards, Martin.

I live on Nottingham Drive (in Pennsylvania). Does that make me a distant
relative?
