| Hi, I'd be grateful if you could spend a few minutes to view and critique my site at : www.kasstzam.com
The site is aimed at private and commercial clients primarily along the South Coast UK, wishing to have photographs taken. Private clients are people and families wanting portraiture, commercial clients are companies and organisations looking for advertising and marketing images.
Three years of stats show that over 85% of visitors use IE, so the site has been designed primarily with those users in mind. I compiled the site myself so its a mixture of Frontpage and hand coding.
Love to know what you think? | |

Hi
First of all, you have 7 validation warnings. Also, you seem to have designed the page to fit width-wise on an 800x600 screen. However, it's too high to fit that way. You've disabled scrollbars so those visitors are out of luck. In tiny, faint text you've suggested that they hit F11 to view your menu. Frankly, you're putting your visitors through a lot hoops to get around questionable design decisions. Take a peek at your site in other browsers, like Firefox and you'll see that various design elements do not line up.

Hi Peter
Thanks for having a look. Can you give me more details about the validation warnings? Any suggestions for making the site view properly in multiple browsers? | |

Visit http://validator.w3.org/ to find out the warnings. I'd lose the frames because they're not worth the trouble. There's no easy way to learn how to get things to look good across lots of browsers. The best way is to install Explorer and Firefox, as a base minimum, switch back and forth between (fixing as you go) until things look the same.
Along with myself, I'm sure there are quite a few designers in this forum, if you'd like to contract their services.
