Website Review and Suggestions

**cdonnell** · 12-22-2006, 05:18 PM

I would really appreciate any comments on the look, design, layout, etc of our site. I realize I may need to redo the flash into text to improve search engine ranking.

Nice, but kinda bland IMHO Need some more color. You could maybe add in some colors or pictures behind the text to give it some pizaaz

Removing the underline on the links on top could help. Maybe add some more padding to a lot of the text, it seams crammed.

The header took way too long to lead considering that you have the navigation in there.

Get everything off of the left side of the screen.

Your site is missing a DOCTYPE Declaration which is mandatory for most current markup languages, and without one, it's impossible to reliably validate a document. The DOCTYPE defines the version of the document like -- HTML 4.0.1, XHTML 1.0, 1.1, ...etc.

You have 65 code warnings you may wish to fix, so that your site validates for accessibility in all browsers, as shown here ...

The site is still bland looking.
But, it's got a pr3 so something is working for it.

It could be easily fixed if the center elements were put inside a table with a color different from the background.

Ick!

structure is ok. just make your header little bit more attractive. no need of flash.
