Mark,

You seriously need to do something about the quality of your HTML.  There 
are a lot of outdated tags (<FONT>) in your code.  It really is a bad idea 
to use Word to write a web page, as you're bound to get something nasty.  If 
you're going to use an editor to write a web page, make sure that it is 
designed for that purpose.

The menu graphic on the left is illegible at 1024, so I would seriously 
consider changing that.  When you click on the images, they become even 
harder to read, so I would really recommend starting again from scratch.

I'm not a great fan of the font face you've used on the home page, but this 
may be perhaps because I don't have it on my system.

IMHO it is a bad idea to include an animated GIF of your company's name on 
the home page, as it is very distracting.  A small discrete symbol would be 
much better.

I would consider rephrasing the "England are the best in their field" to 
something like "The English are the best in their field", or "English 
Potters are the best in their field"

The history sections are good, and are very informative, but I would 
consider not using the bright green for the links on the English History 
page, as it makes me feel quite ill.

On the Chinese History page, you have your company logo on the page twice, 
so if you're going to keep it, make sure it is only on there once...

None of your pictures work on the CH page.

This should keep you busy for a while,

Regards,

I.M.A. Mauler (aka David Grant)
