General Design critique

**blelisa** · 01:53 PM

Hello all,

I have written the first six pages of a new site I am putting up. Please check them out:
http://www.hemisphere.net/testing/index.htm
I am looking for comments on the general design and the coding.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Your graphics banner is missing on the Data Services page...
Otherwise a very proffessional and business-like site.
Wish I could put together something even half as good...
Nick.

you may consider adding a link to the home page because if you navigate off it the only wayyou can get back is if you click back a couple of times

I thought it was impressive and very professional looking. There was no question as to what the site is about.

It's ok, very simple.. but not terribly interesting design-wise.

Codewise -
- Your list bullets are showing up too far to the left of your gray vertical line, actually overlapping the line on several of your pages.
- Every single one of your img tags is missing the alt attribute. If the graphic is just 'fluff', at least add alt="".
This <div id="left" align="left"> should be in your CSS, not in your code.

This section:

Quote:

<div id="footer"><img src="images/footer.gif"></br>5655 South Park Avenue Hamburg
NY 14075 . 716-646-1773 . 716-646-1973 . info@hemisphere.net</div>

Don't use <br> to space out text. The text needs to be inside a <p> </p> and use the CSS to position it inside the footer area.

You definitely need a "HOME" button there somewhere.
