This is a website I am making for my local relay for life let me know what you think. It has been about 2 years sice I really coded a page so it probably has a lot of flaws. The main page is the only page done other then the committee page.

1. Looks like the layout was copied directly from the sky news website or something similar, to be honest. Might not be a bad idea to be slightly more original with the layout.

2. Logo at the top of the page is much too cluttered, and the horizontal blue lines only make it worse.

3. Table misalignment on the right hand side of the page (Firefox).

4. There's no "home" button to take you back to the original page if you follow a link in the site.

5. Width of the page changes slightly between pages (i.e. home and committee).

6. The blue borders around the images make them look EXACTLY like the old style Internet explorer links. Mightn't be a bad idea to change the colour/slim them down/do something with them.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into them. This is how I made my last page with the same layout. guess I should look around at website and so I know I am not making them look like others as much. If you find anything else let me know. I am always up for anything bad or good. It always helps make things better.

7. You seem to be including the stylesheet in each page, which pretty much defeats the purpose of having a stylesheet. Instead, create a .css file, store your styles there, and let each page reference the file, as opposed to having it's own copy of the stylesheet embedded.

Also, here is the result of W3C Markup Validation Service - might be worth a look...
