OK, Just mousing around ...
GOOD: You have thoughtfully put your telephone number in both national
and international format. This makes it a lot clearer for those who
are overseas.
1. You have an automated mailto link. This is likely to get you a lot
of spam. A friend's email address exposed on the web like this gets one
message every 6 minutes.
2. You have quite a number of link styles, and it is not obvious that
some of them are links. My PERSONAL preference is to make links
underlined (even when the mouse is nowhere near them). Now lets see
...
1. Image links (some probably OK, but do they have alt text?),
2. Image links which are just words - why not just use text links?
2a. Blue image links,
2b. Orange image links,
2c. Blue image links that have a mouseover that underlines them
3. Orange text links with no underline [mouseover makes them
underlined]
4. Blue text link, underlined
5. Grey text link, not underlined [mouseover underline]
3. Fixed left margin, wasted space if your screen is smaller
4. INCONSISTENT: The orange image-based headings are links in the
default (index.htm) page, but are not links in the contact page. They
look the same, this will be confusing to some.
I've put my (spammy) email address into the field and pressed ENTER. It
sends me to the contact page. If I have a concern about the
subscribing procedure, I'll let the group know separately.
Enuff for now.
Nick Bishop.

Top posting is not appreciated here, trimming quotes is, corrected this
once. Btw, don't multipost.

Ok bro, here ya go:
Good:
1) Looks nice
2) Images appear to have proper alt content.
Bad:
1) www.crottaz.com is missing the required http:// prefix.
2) Legacy Transitional DTD, newly authored documents should use Strict.
3) Your html doesn't validate.
4) Meta tags containing useless metadata.
5) Mix of upper and lower case code: bad style, choose one.
6) Tables used for layout, don't, use css.
7) More good coding style: quote all attribute values.
8) Presentational html, don't, use css.
9) <span class=bleu> best not use presentational class names.
10) Fixed width design, let it adapt to the user's window width instead.
11) Javascript links: don't.
