| Hi, I'm still struggling on with my first website. The comments from this
forum have been an enormous help, so I really do appreciate the time anyone
takes to have a look. The link given is just where I've been testing it,
however I did take the advice I was given and have brought proper webhosting.

| Why not style the H3 heading at the top using css?
It is red and a thin text and the first thing you see.
To be honest, the rest of the website looks good, and if it is your first, it
is very good indeed.
The h3 heading spoils it, but if you dip into DW and open up your css file and
alter the heading or create css for a h3 heading and maybe include a
background colour and a nice border, and make the text sized at medium or
large, it would look a lot better!
Good website though, I wish my first was that good.

| Looks pretty cool, just a few things though:
Your in quriks mode. The very first line should be your DocType... I don't
know what that <%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%> line is.
Your enclosing your AMBULANCELOGO.jpg in h3 tags. That should read more like
<div id="header">
<h3 class="style3">INNOVATION IN AMBULANCE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE</h3> <img
src="images/AMBULANCELOGO.jpg" alt="logo" width="741" height="119" /></div>
<h1 align="left">, <p align="center">, <h2 align="center"> is all inline stuff
that could be styled in your linked CSS file.

It's certainly an improvement on your all-image version, although you have
gone too far to the extreme in terms of text-size. It is much too hard to
read.

| A great improvement, you're getting there.
Get rid of the "enter" page. Increase the text size. Try green headers over
black text. Expand the gradient background of the header to go all the way
across, or make it fade out. Put the text for the buttons ON the buttons. See
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/.

| If this is your first site, i'm very impressed. My first one wasn't up to that
standard. As far as comments go, I have to agree with Kaethy, try taking the
header all the way acrosss or fading out rather than just stopping. And with
your buttons, either put the text on the backgrounds or make the text change to
red as well as the bar when you mouse over.

| Thanks VERY much for the help. However I'm struggling to understand some of it:
What is "quriks mode"? It sounds terrible and I definitely do not want to be
in it!
The Listamatic site ... I'm not even sure what is meant by the term "list"
and it looks like something for advanced users. Maybe one day...
By "header" you mean the navigation bar, right? I use 'insert image object -
navigation bar' - I assumed that was the standard correct way to do it, but
there's obviously another way ... back to my course manual... sigh...

It's a language prolog, and it would tell the server to use server-side
javascript if the file containing it were an ASP page. As you point out, it
doesn't belong here....

I agree you should get rid of the "enter" page--it useless. Please
define your background color, too. Not everyone's default background is
set to white.
Otherwise, nice progress! :-)
