"Site Opinions"

Ok, this is my first EVER site that I'm being paid for (Unfortunately not that much but it's still the experience I need).

It needs to look formal and such.

So, opinions please. =)

EDIT: The site would help wouldn't it =)

My only real coment is the mark up
No

's in there at all which is a little bad as you should be using a good structure for your markup at all times.

There is no in HTML unless you've creted your own DTD for this element. I think your missing your 1, 2, 3 etc;)

is an invalid tag too and non existent.

or

is.

The last section in your code is made up of several divs, though this could be done better using

's and floats to obtain the same effect but keeping inline with proper mark up.

Agree with Hmmm... re the map situation. Last thing you wanna do is embarrace yourself or your client.

Other pet niggles...

No title attributes in any of your links
Not alt's or dimension information in your images
No DTD, which is vital when using CSS

Overall though, not bad.

I agree with most of the other comments...

One thing to be careful of is copyright. Did you pay Multimap/Batholomew for the map ? If not then you could get your client in trouble or at the least cause them some embarrassment.

If it's not all above board, I would suggest you either need to pay for the map or link to multimap which their terms do allow. I often draw a simple location map and include a link to a scrollable multimap version.

Good luck...

I was going to mention this, the buttons didn't seem to do it for me either.

Do you just want general opinions?

It all looks very nice except for possibly the buttons on the left - something doesn't look right about them. Borders maybe, or a different font?

Apart from that, very nice

One other thing - I don't like the look of the font for the word "welcome" and "latest news" on the home page. I don't think it suits it.

Oh, and this is the old one.

Not got round to fixing IE yet. That can wait until last.

Photo's are going in those as soon as I get them.

I'd imagine they're for images.

Looking good.

In general looks good, theres a few rendering differences between IE and Firefox. A good first step to solving those though would be to include a doctype declaration.

It's quite good, but what's with the boxes?
