Hi.

The site has no design, just text. Very difficult to understand what the site has to offer. Menu needs to be more clear. To make it look professional, each page should have the same look and feel.

has an "amateurish" look-and-feel, ie like early 1990s websites. there are spelling mistakes (see spelling of bazaar in About Us page, dollar in Service Providers page). The intro blurb needs to have more buzz to it. At first read, its difficult to figure out what the site is actually for. the site needs a logo which should be repeated on each page. a side bar should contain links to each important page of the site.

There's not that much to critique here, there's no real design and I agree with other people that it looks very 1990s.

The site is a little more complete than others I've seen from students at your college. It seems you prefer to code than design, which is fine, it's good to know your strengths and weaknesses.

The code is mostly valid, just one, little error. There are a lot of redundant styles in there, for example:

.style11 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style12 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style13 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style14 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style15 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style16 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style17 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style18 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style19 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style20 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style21 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}
.style22 {color:#FF0000;font-szie:16}

Why would you do that? Also font-size is spelt incorrectly, and classes or ids should be named meaningfully. It seems this CSS was generated automatically by an editor, and it shows! Smiling
