Absolute pointless if you ask me but a lot of people are asking for it, same as using divs - can be useful but cause a lot headaches between browsers

That is if you want XHTML compliance

As far as I know <br> is fine for standard HTML compliance

You can use http://validator.w3.org/check/referer to check compliance (if you wish) - most of it is a right pain in the arse for little gain.....

Instead of editing code with <br> you could also do shift+enter

Jesus christ, who was that site designed for? People who sit 5 metres away from their monitor?! The site looks good, but the font is HUGE.

I did design that, but its exactly what they wanted, so cant really argue with that.

And i didnt really want to pay anyone to code it, as i wouldnt make much money from making the site, plus i wouldnt have learnt anything.

I know there are a few problems with the test site i uploaded, but it is exactly that, a test site, to iron out the problems.

I still need to work out now to move that gradient bar over to the left more, and get ride of that small grey line above it, just under the menu.

Also need to find a nice font.

no offence mate, but your site runs pretty terrible. For starters, it's slower than a snail crawling through poo (suprised considering it's on eukhost, which are uk server i believe). The actually design is pretty good, but like dave said the font is huuuuuuuuge, the blind could read that

And hows using tables shocking? it's no more shocking that being a ponce using xhtml with divs etc. Certainly a lot easier to code and tables don't offer anywhere near the problems divs do between browsers.
Also dave knocked it up in dreamweaver, reason why the codes pretty shocking.

Eitherway dave, site design does look naff, but if it's what they are after then you've done the right thing. Though there is a few problems with it dave.
Image error bottom left of the home link (on top nav bar). Generally the table layout is a bit shocking, shouldn't have 16 colums for starters and the whole bottom row (after copyright) could go and replaced with a colspan.
Did you slice that up in dreamweaver?
I would slice it up under photoshop, export the jpgs and build it up around that. Look at nesting tables within tables (instead of using rows/cols and row/colspans etc), it's a bit of dirty trick to do but it works and i've found it to cause less headaches between browsers.

Also dave, get a HTML book and start learning html from scratch, it's the only decent way of doing it that relying on dreamweaver that does a half arsed job of it all

I'm sorry but there is no way i would buy a website off someone who's own website looks like that.

wayne im using 1280x1024 and its still HUGE

Surely the majority of pc users would be using 1024x768 or 1280x1024, why design a site that should be viewed above that?

FPMSL @ that comment. How does making it on a mac make any difference?!!!

I'm on a 1900*1200 screen res on a 24" mac and that text still looks big for me!!!

Do a statistics check on your site, and see how many people are using 1024 screens. The BIG majority use 1024*768 resolutions. Yes, your clients like them and that indeed is, all that matters at the end of the day, but I reckon you would get far more business with a decent company website.

I don't mean to be offensive here, but at the end of the day everyone has their own style. However, doing web/graphic design myself, I find your site sort of 'child-like' with the absolutely massive text. If I was a prospective client I'd go elsewhere.

I personally think you could be making much more money and gaining many more clients with a better company website.

First impressions are everything as they say...

I have updated the menu with a rollover image, as this is what she asked for, does it look dodgy though? I cant make my mind up.
