Hi there,

Could you guys please give me constructive feedback on the site I work
for? It is http://www.youwager.com

I am in charge of their online marketing, and would like to improve
things I may have overlooked. Thank you!  :)

Just looking at the first page it seems like many of the images have no
alternative text. It's important that they have alternative text so that
people (the visually-impaired, the dyslexic, etc.) using screen-readers,
etc. can understand and navigate their way around your site. It's
*especially* important where the image serves as a link (which some do).

Set the alternative text on images that contain no information (e.g.
used for spacing) to null i.e. ALT=""

regards.

Use the trailing slash where required: http://www.youwager.com/
Fix the validation errors.
You are missing headings.
Don't use tables for layout.

I was recently told that, contrary to what you say here and what I
formerly believed, adding that slash is not "required". If the link were
to a subdirectory, like http://www.example.com/subdirectory/ , then the
slash IS needed to prevent the browser from looking for a document named
"subdirectory". But in the current context, the server will send a default
home page in any case.

102 HTML errors. Wow.

Would you like a critique of the visual design, too?
