The logo should be just that...a logo. For Google, Yahoo, etc. they will not care. The tag can define the business name and a short page title and the h1 should be used for the page's content title. I don't use , , , etc. for the logo. I only use a div. The logo will not serve any purpose beyond what it was intended to do. Wrapping a tag around the logo will only limit your ability to one heading for all pages unless you use a h2 or another h1 but we all know that using two h1 in incorrect and I think some search engines penalize you for inproper use.

If you will notice, the header gets chopped off at the bottom when the site is viewed 1200px or higher. Your logo image was keeping all the other divs below until that logo gets so far out (1200px or more) away from that top nav that the nav slips up next to the image because there is enough room for it to thus the green background stops at the right of the logo and likewise on the other side. To solved this, you will need to add height: 110px; to your #header. This will allow the all other divs to fall below the header thus allowing the green bar background to spread horizontally. This will bring up a new problem. The right #sidebar-last needs to have clear: both; so that it will drop down into the #content div. Some of the concept of html/css coding is a bit messy in which it can be done differently but this clear up your major issues.

Your boss? I thought you were the boss!!??

The other issue is with ecommerce stores. When you check out, it uses https in the url. While on those pages, any links that uses paths like this will send the page to https://www.domain.com/store/products.htm but it will render the 404 error because the actual url should be the standard http (without the 's'). Of course you can set redirects for those pages but then you would have to keep updating it everytime you change or add a new links.

Yes. If you are just coding HTML, you can view the pages offline all your want without a server. If you are coding with PHP or ASP, then you will need to install a server on your computer so you can view them offline. WAMP and XAMP for PHP. For ASP, you can use Window XP/Vista built in IIS which you can find listed as Windows Components in the Add/Remove section of the Control Panel. You can't run both unless you define each one it's own port setting. If you have MS Expression Web, it will allow you to view both PHP and ASP but you will still need to install PHP files in order for php files to work.

Frontpage is ok but only if you know HTML well enough to determine some of the garbage it produces that way you can avoid using deprecated tags like . You also didn't indicate if your use CSS or not. From the looks of it, you don't. In Frontpage, you will need to look at the Code View pane where you can see all the coding. Look for the first table (right after you body tag) which looks like this: cellspacing="0" height="799" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000000" width="815"> When you need to do is add a new inline css to your existing style: margin: 0 auto; Here what it should look like now: cellspacing="0" height="799" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000000; margin: 0 auto;" width="815"> If you are serious about website design, you may want to start learning some basic HTML and CSS fundementals. They are essential to developing good code so that it works all browsers. Otherwise, chances are that it will not work like you would hope.

Not sure if this the solution but it's good practice to use hex code for your colors instead of color name. DeepPink = #FF1493 Name to Hex Color Codes

Depending on the hosting account, some will let you host 2 or more domains together. Why not put both domains on the same host especially a host that will allow you at least 100 email accounts and then you don't have to worry about pointing one domain for email and another domain for web. Otherwise, you'd be paying for two host..one for email and the other for the web site.

You need two host. The domain can be parked at either one or at another location. From the domain, you set the DNS for the website to point to one host and the MX mail settings to point to the other host. Most control panels have pretty clear info on how to do it.

Pretty talented. Anyone care to give new names for these genetically engineered animals?

In short (gotta go to sleep), my quick one line critique in their respective order: 1. Boring. Lacks character. 2. Grossly outdated 3. Same as #1 and a bit outdated 4. Not too bad

I am not sure if this will help or is related but it's worth a shot: Link

I didn't notice any white space. As for the footer, define a height for you #footer. On that note, you used an image for a background in your footer. Since they are just plain colors, you can set the dark green as background-color: #01928F; and then add a border-top: 10px solid #7DC9C5; thus you don't need the background image any more. Now I was going to stop there but when I clicked on your Design link. I am sure that you guys do great design print work but you website does not reflect that. In fact, it would probably hurt your image. If you are up to it, you should start asking questions, critiques, etc. here on this forum to help you improve the image of your business via website. On the positive note, at least you can pat yourself on the back for good coding!

I don't think we have any Flash gurus here but if it helps any, when I have an image or an link tag defined but I don't want any of those little yellow popups I would just define the title or alt tag with just quotes only like this: Link Not sure if Flash handles something like this or maybe some other similar method.

You can take your pick here.

Haven't done audio in years but you might try looking into this link.

I think Susie hit the nail on the head. The one I used was called click toggle but I believe it falls under the category of 'accordion'. Thanks Susie.

Look for this in your style.css file: #linkList li a (appx on line 26) Add this to the styles: background: transparent;

I have used something similar at: ch iccorpo rateapp arel.com/branding-boutiques.asp I don't recall where I got this one but I am sure the jquery site has a few which I believe correct search term to use is "toggle".

Server Side Inlcudes using either PHP or ASP will be rendered when the visitor visits a page. So option 1 is the right choice because it will render just like option 2 as far as what google and yahoo sees. You can simply test this by display your web page with the php includes and then do a View Source via your browser. This is what search engines sees.

Remove the forward closing slash and the space. and nationally">

ColorPic Color Cop You can probably find more by searching 'desktop color picker' via Google or Yahoo.

Concur. Same domain AND same urls for all other pages otherwise you will need to do redirects.

It would seem that you are designing this site as you build it. Probably the most difficult way to design the site...graphically. You should have a complete mockup design of the site you would like to build. Once you are completely satisfied with the graphical design, you can then implement the design into html/css. And Thelma is right. Redo do the flash. What you have now will only hurt your business.
