I am very new to CSS and have been playing with it for the last month but only seriously for about two weeks.
I have put a site up for a friends business and would appeciate an (good o bad) comments on the design and layout (especially CSS)
It is deliberately simple.
It needs photos i know - i wanted opinions on the basics first before i try and put in pics and galleries etc

it's been checked in IE and Firefox but if anyone can let me know bout any other browsers that would really help

HAHA...the only validation error is in the Valid CSS image tag.
Well, I though it was funny. :roll:
<img border="0" src="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss"" alt="Valid HTML 4.01!" height="31" width="88">There is an extra quote after vcss.

That being said, it looks great in Safari and even IE/Mac!
CSS Validation
Yeah i loved that - i will change it but i had to leave it in for a while, just to see who noticed!
Easy enough to navigate and find what you want?

Don't know if you know you've repeated the valid text twice.
I like it, however, I would make it more obvious that the links on the left are links - underline them, or something.
I'm also not too keen on the font used for # Albany
# Dunsborough . . etc
carry on
pretty nice site. works just fine in netscape navigator

re fonts for Albany Duns etc
Yeah they are a bit 'something' aren't they - it's what's on the bus so im stuck with it.
I need to find a way of making those left links stand out without underlining as i will be putting links in the main text ie HMAS Swan, Busselton Jetty etc. I dont want all the links in the main text underlined as it looks to messy - any suggestions will be most welcome.
I have updated the site which now includes some basic pictures - again, your thoughts please
Thanks for the input so far

All I could come up with for the links is either make them darker to stand out more, or use something like the
& raquo ; (no spaces)
to imply that it goes further.

looks good in FireFox

looks and works fine on Opera7.54
I noticed the code I got from the css validator was invalid on the next xhtml check too, but I replace their pic w/ one on my server so works now - you'd think . . . .

I found this:
<img alt="Tiera Batfish on Swan Wreck" src="Assets/Batfish trianglesml.jpg">
better:
<img alt="Tiera Batfish on Swan Wreck" src="Assets/Batfish%20trianglesml.jpg">
your document validates HTML 4.01 Transitional, but with really few changes, you can get to XHTML
think about it, its really 5 minutes editing...
nice website though, I want to come to australia too

thanks tripleshift
As i said i am a newbie to all this really - whet benfits would i get from changing to XHTML?
Is it just a matter of using self closing tags and putting %20 in the spaces?
Cheers

Took your advice and converted the whole lot into XHTML

that looks neat fred, pure and classy.
it already validates with strict and 1.1 why stick to transitional?
good job.

What are the advantages over transitional over strict?

answer a stupid question ....what is the difference between transitional and strict?
....and what are the advantages of using strict over transitional
is it just a matter of changing the Doctype declaration at the top?
