in deep and treading water...HElp!!
first things first never ever built a website before, i'm a tiler fixer by trade. Yes if you want something done right call a professional, say it myself all the time.
Unfortantly just did'nt have the funds..AAAhhhh!!!
Anyhows.. check out http://www.aajtiling.co.uk the design although no masterpiece it's functional as said im just a tiler.
using Dreamweaver i have put everything where i want it, my problem is the html code, thats another language to me. I need it cleaned, checked for browser compatiabilty etc. also i like google and the like to find me and enjoy some nice clean html code.
well hope you wiz kids can help, just ask if there is anything i have not got across etc

The website is not bad. The design is appealing, and the code is clean and tableless. I have browsershots working on getting screenshots for your site (see them here) with different browsers, but it looks good so far. All in all, I don't see what the problem is.

Thanks a lot for taking the time and trouble in the screen shots
really???? Wow i did a good job hells bells.
when looking on the deamweaver when i ran the validation tool had all things like..
ag: " li" allows optional closing tag. closing tag: "ul" closes "li" context. Validation will proceed as if context is closed.[XHTML 1.0 Strict}
The tag:"li" is not allowed within: "li" It is only allowed within: ol, ul.[XHTML 1.0 Strict]
is this all cool then?

Not really
With this one you're just missing a
</li>closing. So look at the code view in Dreamweaver, and scroll down until you find this:<ul><li><a href="ceramic.html">Ceramic</a></li>
<li><a href="porcelain.html">Porcelain</a></li>
<li><a href="travertine.html">Travertine</a>
<li><a href="limestone.html">Limestone</a></li>
<li><a href="marble.html">Marble</a></li>
<li><a href="terracottas.html">Terracottas</a></li>
<li><a href="slate.html">Slate</a></li>
<li><a href="mosaics.html">Mosaics</a></li>
<li><a href="wetrooms.html">Wetrooms</a></li>
<li><a href="ufh.html">Underfloor Heating</a></li>
<li><a href="ta <li><a href="tanking.html">Tanking</a></li>
</ul>
See how all of those lines end with
</li>except for Travertine? Add in a</li>after the</a>on that line. Most HTML tags have an opening and a closing tag. So these list items (li) start with<li>and end with</li>.The other problem you have there is further down, look for this:
<p>Browse our gallery <a href="gallery.html">HERE</a></a></p>See how there are two
</a>'s? Remove one of those.That should take care of most of those errors. The only one remaining is about the target="_blank" attribute on the Tiler World logo. You can just take that out unless you really want that link to open in a new window. Opening new windows without warning is a usability problem - many people won't realize that a new window has openend and will be wondering why their back button doesn't work.
