    I didn't miss the point at all. I agree the tool would be useful for people with little coding skills. The thing that is not good is that it produces websites with invalid code. Web standards exist for good reasons and a tool of this nature which does not follow standards is just helping...

    You have more styles within your html <body style="margin: 60px 0px 0px 60px; background: rgb(156, 195, 195) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;"> This is overriding your stylesheet, as it specifies...

    I expected your site to be well built because of the nature of the app you are promoting but it's badly coded. I use a lot of web design forums and have noticed this site being promoted a lot. It's a shame that not as much effort was put into the actual building of the site. If you need...

    IE8 issues and general critique

    I agree the load time isn't an issue, loads fine in scotland :p I like the design and images. Only a couple of things i would suggest I wouldn't have the images resize on hover, it's irritating and detracts from an otherwise classy looking site. I would be a bit more subtle, like just have...

    w3c standards

    Sometimes you just need to say no to clients. I have used googlemaps on 2 sites recently and they don't validate ( i'll start a new thread about that ) but I decided the 2 errors i'm getting are worth it.

    need layout help with portfolio site (and IE8 issues)

    Hi Megan, I would put the h1 and navigation within a centre container as well as the main body. On a large screen it looks strange having them far left and right as if they're not part of the page. The navigation looks a bit squished, add padding to the li eg: #nav li {...

    WordPress or Pure Design via HTML Coding

    It's up to the client. I've had someone with a fairly static 3 page site want content management and on the other hand i've built large sites with no cms because the clients prefer to leave updates in my hands (which suits me fine!). I wouldn't add cms for my own benefit because i've not found...
