Website Review and Suggestions

**AutoShopLinks** · 02-18-2007, 05:45 PM

Hello everyone...This is the first website I am involved in. I've been working in the auto idustry for many many years and felt that the automotive world needed a site like this. I hired a couple webdevelopers to create the site. Let me know what you think. http://www.AutoShopLinks.com

It looks nice, although there are many sites out there that are very similar.

Tell your "Webdevelopers" they need to correct the following for validation and to make sure the site displays properly in all browsers:

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 140 code warnings, as shown here ...

Looks nice, i like your template... Very professional!

**interested** · 03-03-2007, 09:11 PM

Nice looking site, especially like your photo gallery section. You will find the forum section difficult to maintain interest without constant pushing.
I have an Auto site to exchange links if interested.

**udelojf** · 03-03-2007, 11:20 PM

Nice framing. That is how an auto-website should look like. Keep adding content.

**binaryriver** · 03-04-2007, 02:55 AM

Personally I think it's a bit too busy, especially the header, and looks too template-esque. However, the rest looks good, very professional looking.

**ev8321** · 03-05-2007, 03:59 AM

Looks great but please change the font of your links on the right hand side. Under ASL updates. They looks terrible.

Otherwise great effort!

**charlesgan** · 03-05-2007, 08:21 AM

basically u need to learn more about CSS stylesheet. this will format the font in better look n feel.

**amyangel** · 03-05-2007, 09:29 AM

great , congratulations!

**Cash2Park.com** · 03-05-2007, 09:43 AM

**PJDev** · 03-09-2007, 02:18 PM
