    Hello,

    Firstly I think your site looks good.

    The main issue with the site is when you validate it, it brings up 64 errors. Most of these errors are due to using the Solpart menu. As this is a pure CSS skin, I would recommend that you use a CSS menu. This will then help your page validate and reduce the size of the page.

    I suggest you try the snapsis menu. As a subscriber you get 35% discount.

    I have noticed in your skin.css that you are missing some semi-colons at the end of some properties, so I would just check through those again.

    eg .NormalWhite class
                 text-align: justify <-- semi-colon here

    When viewing the source you have < font colour="#ae280d" > I would change this to p tags and give it a class of ‘intro text’ (or something similar) and then use the skin.css to edit it. This will make things easier for when you come to update the site later on.

    Similarly, styling your unordered list in the skin.css file will make editing easier and will help reduce your page size.

    So other than that and a little bit on shorthand on the CSS, it’s a good job.

    You may also like to consider a print style sheet for the site. We will be releasing a tutorial on how to do this in issue 35.
