Website Review and Suggestions

**dalexdesign** · 03-26-2009, 06:55 AM

Ok, looking for reviews. This is the first time I have ever designed a more graphical type website than a business / corporate type and looking for reviews. This is also my second time coding XHTML tableless websites so looking to see how it came out so far.

I have 1 error still which will be fixed at a later date.

The website did not take a long time probably only about 4 hours. It would have taken a lot faster if designed with html tables however once I really know xhtml it will be a breeze and be knocked out in 30 mins or less as well.

Well, since you're starting out with XHTML:

This is NOT proper use of a Heading:

Quote:

<h1 align="right"><span class="oneColFixCtr style11 style18"><span class="oneColFixCtr style23"> Live Support | Helpdesk | About Us<br />
<span class="style11">Call Us! 1 (800) Web Tech</span></span></span></h1>

A heading should be just that, a HEADING, and it should be relevant to the content on your page. What you've actually got there is an unordered list, a menu, and it should be structured as such.

If you're going to go with XHTML, then the align="center" is not allowed, that kind of STYLING belongs in the CSS.

On your dropdown menu, again, use an unordered list, it is more semantically correct and eliminates divs you don't need. Put the UL inside a div, much cleaner.

Ok THIS should be your H1!

No reason at all to use a span on a <p> to create a heading, use the right tag for the job. SE spiders DO pay attention to heading tags and their hierarchy, and they work like any document outline.

All of this - not necessary:

Quote:

The styling should be applied to the tag IN the css. There should also be only ONE h1 heading to a page.

The design is nice and clean

Cool site. Simple and clean. Just a thought though because I can't resist... A gradient background with the color you have now on the top and then a lighter blue would look pretty awesome.

Thanks for the assistance.

I am keeping this template as a template for referring to when coding new projects.

There is actually no footer yet on this design and I am working on the header now.

SEO essentials will be added later today as well.
