I would of done it first of all in XHTML/CSS. But on another hand:

- style your links. Here is the url on how to implement them http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listutorial/index.htm
- add padding to the locations and phone # box
- make links to our partners html links
- give the body margin 0 so you wont get that white bar on top of your design

other than that, nice design and use of photoshop for graphics..keep it up!

looks good, i think changing a few font types, maybe making them smaller would look alot better.

Take a look at my site if you need some idea. www.jlg-designs.com

Your website looks pretty cool. I like your image with the car in it.
However, I don't like times new roman.........
Change it to something like, Arial Narrow or something.
AND.... Maybe you could change yellow colors to a blue or gray to
go with the blue of the car image. Yellow don't work!

OK, first let me say that I agree with the others - I think your site looks very good. It's well designed. Well done.

As for the code...


Html and css should really be in lower-case.
You need more quotation marks - like here : type=text/css ("text/css")
You really shouldn't use tables for layout - see my sig.
Things like the background colour and the font size should be set in css - not the html.


It might sound strange after saying that I think your site looks good (it does) but I think you need to completely redo it bearing the points above in mind.

You probably don't think I've helped here, but you may realise that I'm right some day.

Graphically nice.
No value for the web site owner though.

Web design is not optimised for search engines:
- not enough text
- no keywords research
- no scoring title
- no META tags
Not surfer friendly:
- too many images and size is too big - on many connections will
load slower than 12 sec.

The industry is very competitive - you will not be able to break through.
Users will not find the web site - too many others.

IMO you need:
- optimised design
- keywords research and basic optimisation
- strong SEO copy
- a lot MORE pages - each optimised for a specific keyword.
- move out styles in separate file

Good starting point: get SEO Explorer - it is free search engine optimisation tool (http://www.internet-marketing-australia.com/seo-explorer.php)

It will show you what is not good from SEO point of view and what to enhance..

At first glance, your Web Site looks fine. But your HTML is badly written and your sub-pages (cars.html for example) are badly formatted.

It look's like you have bought a template and tried to edit the HTML manually. You need to learn HTML and accessability concepts before you try to write a Web Site. This looks like a Web Site that is 40% complete there are several dead links and a whole bunch unformatted data lying around the site. Fix it!

Regards.

center the table to the screen and use a style sheet to dress up the font. i never use times new roman which is the default. i like verdana and so does alot of other big websites, like msn.
