This is my first job as a web designer and I am doubting my work. Could a few peeps give an idea of where I am at with this one? I warn you now, this website sells "different" stuff, so be warned.
The deal is that I have been commisioned to straighten this site out (make sure that those of you who are easily offended, don't click this link!!!)

What I came up with is this:
(this one has no nastyness and none of the links work)
Let me know what you think...Thanks!

Hi Rich,
here's what I have:
Why the extra nav bar at the bottom. how about just "top of page"

Format the text in the body. paragraphs, indents etc..

great clean up so far!

Thanks for looking at it...take a look at it now...I hasten to add that I just copied the text from the index.html source and didn't proofread it. I see now that I should have! If that were an English test, the guy I replaced would've failed.
Anyway, check it out now and see what you think...

Thanks,
--Rich
 
Oh yeah, about the nav bar: I put that there for simlpy the ease of use. If people can't get around, they can't buy anything, ya know?...

see ya

That's not a side table, that's a background image :). It's almost 5:00, I got to get going...I'll get on this thing at home (not the website, I mean the forum). Thanks again!

About the bottom nav, it's best to have something there,
why not put something like

________________________________ (hr)
link link link link link
link link link link link link

Copy 2002 You. All rights...

Just place it right of the background image. This kind of thing looks quite professional done right.

Other comments:

-The headers in the left col "Week 1-3" maybe put a slight left indent.

- the right hand col, its too boxed up against the content column, space it out more, shift it to the right a little, the email box could be smaller to give you more room to play with.

- the Order Now link is a little bit lost there. Center it in the col, maybe highlight it in some way! Maybe use an image instead of text?

- space out the copyright information.

- Your use of tags, in a number of places you have put <p> at the END of a paragraph followed by a <h3> header! Start a paragraph with <p> and end it with </p>.

-You have table align=&quot;top&quot; can't do that!

- you have width=&quot;760px&quot;, should be just width=&quot;760&quot;

- make sure all tables have summary=&quot;&quot; and all images have alt=&quot;&quot;, also title=&quot;&quot; is also recommended for just about everything, images links tables etc

- your area tags should also have alt=&quot;&quot;

-there's a number of instances where you have td=&quot;??px&quot; leave out the px, you also have vspace=&quot;??px&quot;

-you have bordercolor=&quot;000000&quot; should be #000000 and some browsers won't show bordercolor anyway

- you have bgcolor=&quot;ffcc98&quot; again missing #

-with images always try to include width=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;&quot;


Hope this helps, not trying to be harsh on you but if you clean your code it will help a lot!
