"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 had a scan through multimap to find conditions with no luck so I left the water mark on to be "safe" for now.

Thanks Tyla.

I will get the mark up sorted tomorrow. As for the multimap, I'm not sure the company will stretch that far unfortunately. I will have a look into it though.

Hey, how come we never get to see any of your creations Tyla?

It looks beautiful, on a par with one of God's creations.

The big R logo looks silly when there's exactly the same big R starting off the actual title. Just looks strange having them right next to eachother.

That's their logo. Not mine =)

Though as the service provider, technically speaking it is your job to give out design advice, like in this case merging the logo with the name. But whatever, depends on your pay.

Just finished a re-skin, though the design isn't mine as they bought in a marketing team to re-brand the firm:

Before: (me) http://www.blagrovefleet.co.uk
After: (D4&Co) http://dev.blagrovefleet.co.uk

Only a quick reskin job (£2000 in my pocket!;))Not bad for a CSS re code and a little tweaking. Huge rebuild/redesign coming up in December.
