Hi Eric and the List

I checked out the page you made, and have some comments, all IMHO of course.

1. The graphics are nicely made, well anti-aliased. Though they were all of
fairly reasonable filesize, they could be reduced even more.

2. I would change the font to a sans-serif font using CSS or the <FONT>
element.

3. The overall design was nice and clean - however, it needed some life - it
was a bit dull. Maybe some striking images, or a strong colour scheme, or an
image rollover for the menu items. Maybe the menu items could be in a list
or line, and using rollovers, the description of the service could appear.
Then, in the center of the page, you could add a few static lines of
introduction about the company - what it does and some buzzwords in a few
lines.

4. In you code I found some meta tags whose NAME values I wasn't sure were
valid.

<META NAME="classification" CONTENT="commercial">
<META NAME="distribution" CONTENT="global">
 <META NAME="resource-type" CONTENT="document">

In CONTENT in the robots meta tag, I believe the correct value (although I
could be wrong) is "index,follow" (or noindex,nofollow).

<META NAME="robots" content="all">

5. A few table cells had the </FONT> tag in them with no opening tag.

6. I tried to validate your document - here are the results [1].

>Wish me luck!

It is a tough game (IMO), this website design business. Good luck!

Cheers

Sebastian
