I notice a lot of people viewing it but noone has any comments. Is it that bad? O.K. don't be gentle, let me have it!

Thanks
Chris

Oh, you'll get it alright. :D

Hmmm, where to begin....

The text inside of your <title> tag is Untitled. Need I say more?

You have a partial Doctype for HTML 4.0. Put in a full Doctype of HTML 4.01 Trans and welcome yourself to the 21st century. :)

A person is going to have to slightly scroll horizontally to view your site. Scroll vertically, or horizontally, not both.

What happens if somebody has JavaScript disabled? Bye bye menu.

The quick answers and benefits sections could be brought in a little more.

Thanks for the reply. I am going to change table to css.

Doctype. I read one of your links and they recommend using xhtml you recommended html 4.01. Which should I use.

Thanks again
Chris

XHTML has more rules to it. Becauase of that, it also tends to be a little more nice to weed through and work with once you have the rules down. The two biggest rules are every tag must be closed. If you have a <p> tag, you must have a </p> tag. For some tags they is a slighty different version of the tag itself.

HTML: <img>
XHTML <img />

The other rule is closing tags in order.

Correct: <p><em>Text</em></p>
Incorrect: <p><em>Text</p></em>

I only suggested HTML because you were already using that for your Doctype. I use XHTML myself. Going from HTML to XHTML isn't that bad. Going from Trans. to Strict takes more time to adjust to since you HAVE to use CSS.

Thanks so much for your replies. I've changed the website completely. No tables, Xhtml, Css, both varified, and will make a non java menu.

If you don't care take a look Thanks
New Site (http://www.randrmassagetherapy.com)
